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 !

This was a solo trip for me, I walked away with priceless memories and one of my best friends ! Loved the mix between experiences and solo time in the cities to walk around/explore. That variety is really important for me. Really loved the places visited, incredibly knowledgeable guide, super funny and helpful. Was my first trip booked through tour radar and I’m now going on my fourth tour with them. Really appreciate how they select tours and I trust them to ensure I have a great experience.Show more

A most excellent tour, I knew from the offset would be fast paced as this is obviously 8 countries in 12 days!...
A most excellent tour, I knew from the offset would be fast paced as this is obviously 8 countries in 12 days! Well...I never knew how beautiful the Balkans are, the scenery, the food, the people wow! We had the most excellent guide in Simon who is very passionate about his job and brings it alive throughout the tour. His experience and knowledge is tremendous, nothing is too much trouble, if you need anything he's there. Deki our fabulous driver who got us around safely and drove long hours for us all, just a fabulous and friendly guy. The rapport between both Simon and Deki was tremendous, you could hear the respect between the both of them, I was the cryer of the group and was so sad to say goodbye. Honestly I will recommend these countries to anyone and everyone to go and see the beauty. Many thanks xxx DekiShow more

  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.

  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.
