    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten June 2022

      Our Budapest & the Balkans tour is a Basix style trip, meaning that all of the accommodation and transportation as well as the services of your trip leader are included in the trip costing. There may be an included experience here or there, but the trip will focus more on flexibility and being able to pick and choose your experience while travelling in the form of the optional activities.

    Anthony

    Asked on December 1st, 2016

    I'll be having this trip with my 78 year old mother. At her age, is this trip suitable?

    Age Range
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten December 2016

      The age limit of 70 is just a recommendation, if the traveller is physically fit and healthy with young at heart mindset this tour will be fine. You might be required to fill out a tour suitability form as well.
