Rick
Asked on April 21st, 2024I am still very interested in joining your tour from Split to Athens. I will be in Split on 21 September and must reach Athens on or before 8 October, so the 24 day tour to Athens is perfect. I cannot afford to take this tour as a private one, but am hoping you know now whether it will be offered as a group tour with other travellers included, and operating on the above dates. If so, I would love to book it at the current price of NZ$ 3993, and pay extra for my own room.
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written April 2024
Currently on 21st of September we do not have a confirmed departure date with any other groups however you are absolutely welcome to go on tour with a guide as a solo traveler, we guarantee departure even for one guest. We're excited to announce our special 'April Sale' offering a 10% discount on bookings for this tour.
