What people love about touring Balkans solo
- Balkan Revealed - 4 countries in 10 days - SMALL GROUP
Very well managed and interesting tour. Hotels were good, no real worries. Plus theyre great when things go wrong. One hotel didnt have our booking so they immediately rang around and upgraded us 2 a 5 star nearby. We were the only people on our tour so had our tour guide Radenko to ourselves for the 8 days of the actual tour. He was great not just as a driver and guide but knew so many beautiful local places 2 eat, many with local specialties. It was a memorable trip plus well priced and well paced as well. We would use them again 4 sure
- Balkan Wonders from Tirana to Istanbul's Splendor and Cappadocia’s landscapes with 3 flights included - Small Group Tour
Very informative and diverse tour. We had the best time and visited many places for a very affordable price. The accommodations and the service were great, and we were especially happy and content that there were flights included so that we didn't have to hassle last minute. It was very well organized.

I really enjoyed this tour. The itinerary was perfect and our guide was the best. Would 100% recommend Choose Balkans
What our customers ask about Balkans Tours for Solo Travelers
How social are Balkans group tours for solo travelers?
Balkans tours create natural opportunities to form connections with fellow travelers. The Dubrovnik to Santorini tour lets you share daily experiences like wine tasting in Kosovo's Rahovec Valley exploring local bazaars and enjoying group meals at authentic spots such as Question Mark tavern in Belgrade. A TourRadar traveler noted "We had an EXCELLENT tour guide who helped bring the group together and the small group size made it easy to bond with others." The 3-4 star accommodations including places like Hotel Royal Inn in Belgrade provide comfortable common spaces for socializing with other travelers.
How much free time will I have to explore independently as a solo traveler?
Tours provide a mix of structured activities and independent time. You can expect 2-3 hours of free time each day especially in major cities like Zagreb Sarajevo and Dubrovnik. A Choose Balkans tour reviewer shared: "The guide was great at suggesting local spots to explore during free time and I felt comfortable wandering the charming streets of Kotor and Split on my own."
What's the best time of year for solo travel in the Balkans?
While July through September marks peak season the shoulder months of May-June and September-October offer pleasant temperatures with fewer tourists. Tour booking data shows September as a popular choice. Cities like Dubrovnik remain warm enough to enjoy beachfront locations like Hotel Lapad but with less crowding. A TourRadar traveler noted "Traveling in September when the weather was perfect and tourist crowds had thinned out."
What's the typical group size on Balkans tours for solo travelers?
Groups usually range from 8-16 travelers creating a balance between intimacy and social interaction. The Balkan Extended tour from Budapest to Split caps at 12 participants. A TourRadar traveler shared: "With just 10 of us in the group including 4 other solo travelers it was easy to get to know everyone and form real friendships." These smaller numbers allow stops at local venues like traditional Serbian kafanas or Macedonian wineries.
Do I need to pay a single supplement as a solo traveler?
Single supplements exist but can often be avoided. Intrepid Travel offers roommate matching on their Western Balkans tour which includes stays at properties like DoubleTree by Hilton in Bucharest. Supplements typically cost between USD 200-600 based on tour length and accommodation quality. One traveler noted "The single supplement was worth it for the privacy but sharing is a great way to meet people."
