I'm interested in the 9/10-21/10/2026 Balkans Explored tour. However, your tour has age limit of up to 59yo. Would you accept 2 of us, a well traveled couple aged 68 and 70? We are in good health and exercise regularly so should be able to take the physical activities as mentioned in the itinerary.

We would be happy to accept both of you on the tour, provided that you are comfortable with the tour itinerary and physical activity level, as outlined in the trip details. As you mentioned that you are both in good health and exercise regularly, it sounds very promising and we are pleased to accommodate you together on our trip !

Everything was lovely except I was not happy with showers in rooms. Very slippery , so not very safe. And the water goes everywhere on the floor. So you’re left having to clean it all up. I was fine with the group separating a few times to do their own thing. But I was disappointed that not everyone attended the final dinner, so we can get a chance to say goodbye. Overall, very well organized and tour guide very pleasant , patient and knowledgeable. She made the experience memorable.Show more

This was an excellent trip with great people. We got to see and experience so much and I made some strong connections with fellow travellers. There was a lot to see and even though the tour was pretty long, some places were just skimmed over. More time in Montenegro would be nice and more time in Belgrade would also have been nice. Beautiful scenery and loved seeing Sarajevo and doing the length of Greece. Thessaloniki, Delphi and Meteora were amazing highlights.Show more

Asked on May 9th, 2026
I'm interested in the 9/10-21/10/2026 Balkans Explored tour. However, your tour has age limit of up to 59yo. Would you accept 2 of us, a well traveled couple aged 68 and 70? We are in good health and exercise regularly so should be able to take the physical activities as mentioned in the itinerary.

  Traveler•Written May 2026
  Can you provide airport transfer on the 7/10 instead of 9/10?
- A
  Andrew
  Traveler•Written May 2026
  On the 9/10, we will make our own way to the hotel stated in the itinerary. Meeting the guide is at 7pm. Can we check in the hotel earlier?

  Andrew
  Traveler•Written May 2026
  Are we travelling with the same group of people throughout or will there be people leaving and joining the tour at different locations?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  Currently, just a few passengers booked so far, so it will be fully confirmed 60 days prior to departure date.
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  Airport transfer is only available on Day 1, so will not able to provide on another date, unfortunately.
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  Check in generally starts from 2pm at most of hotels, so you can check in your room accordingly.
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  There might be some passengers leaving a few days early if they book 11 Days tour.
- A
  Andrew
  Traveler•Written May 2026
  So if I book this tour and you can't get 12 pax then it will be cancelled and I get full refund?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  If the tour is cancelled by our end, sure you will receive full refund.
- A
  Andrew
  Traveler•Written May 2026
  Does Travel Talk give discounts for seniors?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  As your enquiry is made through TourRadar (the booking platform), we're unfortunately unable to offer additional senior discounts beyond the promotions already available online. If you do see any active discounts on the tour page, those would be the best available offers at the time of booking.
