    Tour Details
    • PALMA DMC & TO OperatorWritten August 2024

      Unfortunately, we can't confirm this tour for just one person; there needs to be at least two people for the tour to happen. If you're interested, we can offer you the same tour from 12.09-26.09, which has a guaranteed departure if you'd like to join. Alternatively, in October we have: Stunning Slovenia: 24.10-31.10.2024 Impressive Croatia: 31.10-07.11.2024

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      could you email me in the next few weeks if there are more people sing up for the 10/10-10/24 tour!? Let me wait till early Sept..

      Pam

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      once again, if you are opening the 10/10-24 The Great Balkan Experience than please let me know. I could wait till early Sept before making final decision to connect to tour or cut short and return to my country.

    • PALMA DMC & TO OperatorWritten August 2024

      Okay, if someone books this tour by the beginning of September, I will let you know. In the meantime, you can consider taking one of the tours that already have guaranteed departures.

    Asked on April 21st, 2024

    Do you have April 2025 tours organised yet..Cost ( approx ) and no of people on tour. Maybe we may look at a private tour with same itinery..

    Group size
    Price / Availability
    • PALMA DMC & TO OperatorWritten April 2024

      This would be a group tour of around 25 travelers. The group tour would come to AUD 5,570.15 per person. A private tour for only 2 travelers will not be very economical. However, what would your budget be?

  • J

    Jane

    Asked on April 2nd, 2023

    Is there a discount for kids ages 3 - 6?

    Age Range
    Price / Availability
    • PALMA DMC & TO OperatorWritten April 2023

      I can offer you 30 % discount off the base price for each kid, as long as they are in the room with their parents.
