    Our trip from Ljubljana to Dubrovnik was absolutely wonderful! We saw many natural, historic, and cultural attractions and learned so much about both Slovenia and Croatia . What's more, the tour gave us opportunities to meet and interact with locals and we cannot say enough about the genuine kindness extended to our group of travelers. Our Serbian born guide Dragan was an incredible ambassador for the Balkans and its people. He made our tour exceptional, with his knowledge, energy, humor, and warmth. Every day we thought to ourselves this is what travel is all about: making memories that enrich you and lift your spirits!

    This tour covered the areas we wanted to see, there were 13 on the tour and we were in a 20 seater really comfortable van so plenty of room, although 5 of those seats you would not have been able to see anything. We had a good driver Sasha and felt safe, our tour guide Bogdan was good but felt he could do better. 5 of the participants started the tour in Budapest and 7 started in Ljubljana, no get together with your fellow travellers before you start, just straight off on a walking tour of Ljubljana and he tended to converse more with them and not much information given on what was happening. All the hotels were good except the one in Ljubljana, breakfasts were all good. Tour guides in the cities of Ljubljana and Split were good, Pula excellent and Dubrovnik terrible, a waste of time, she was a last minute as the original guide cancelled to do a ship, more tips I guess. As for the experience more, 3 wineries were too many, 1 would have been enough, the 1st one had the best wine according to everyone and was in a nice area, the 2nd one made the day too long and you were back tracking on roads you had already been on, the 3rd one terrible in every way, run down village, back yard shed, nowhere for the bus to park, terrible wine, obviously not sussed out by the tour company. Truffles of Istria, don't expect to see any truffles, we were lucky in that the dogs found one the size of a peanut, the area is probably overworked, you cann't see much as there is just a pathway through the trees you follow so only the ones up front actually see the dogs working so that was very disappointing. The oyster and seashell tasting was 2 small oysters and some mussels, there were quite a few of us that don't eat shell fish so we got a meat pattie and fries for lunch. Plitvice Lakes is really beautiful, you do need to able to walk quite a distance to appreciate it. The boat trip to Hvar by ferry was a relaxing day. For us the trip would have been better if it didn't have the experience more included, it couldn't be an option as they were all in isolated areas.

    I chose this tour & dates to parallel World Cup matches, esp. following Croatia & Serbia when in their countries. Tour Guide Marko was always professional & kind, adjusting to my pace. He lent me his arm on stairs without railings & slippery wet cobblestones. Marko was an excellent driver of our luxury Skoda, great listener & a futbol fan, and always punctual. I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you!

      Our Balkan Extended from Ljubljana to Dubrovnik small group tour is set to depart from Ljubljana on July 8th. Additionally, Balkan Extended tour has different starting cities, so you can also join a bit earlier, on July 4th from Budapest, or July 6th from Belgrade. All of the above options do fit your budget. Moreover, for private tours, the tour can start on whichever date you prefer, including July 3rd. Price per person, for 2 people traveling together would be approximately 5600 USD. This would mean that you would have a vehicle for your self, completely private transfers, private guide and tours.

    Asked on February 20th, 2025

    Is private for a group of friends? I would be traveling solo so would I go with the group? Or what is the difference?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Balkan and moreOperatorWritten February 2025

      The first one is guaranteed tour with fixed dates, where you will be joining a small group of travelers. We set our maximum on 24 passengers, but usually we have 10-14 travelers in the group. Private tours can be organized for any number of travelers, including solo traveler, and you can choose whichever date you prefer. We would organize a private tour just for you with private guide/driver and private car.

      Deborah

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      Is there a single supplement charge for the private tour? Also, can you tell me what it is for the group.

    • Balkan and moreOperatorWritten February 2025

      When there is solo traveler on a private tour, there is no single supplement per se, it is already included in the price. However, if there is more travellers that would like to book the tour, and some of them wish to have a private room only for themselves, they would have a single supplement. For shared tour, single supplement is 859 EUR. It is added to our base price of 2880 EUR, totalling to 3739 EUR per person in single room.

      Can you tell me when your current promotion of a 15% discount will end?

    • Balkan and moreOperatorWritten December 2024

      Regarding the current 15% discount promotion, while we do not have an exact end date, I can confirm it will be valid for at least the next month. However, the exact duration depends on updates from our marketing team, so I recommend finalizing your plans soon to secure this offer.

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Will restaurants and all attractions still be open on HVAR in October? After exploring the main sights on HVAR island, we are interested in taking a sightseeing cruise from HVAR. Are there good options available in October or would the September 23rd tour be better?

    • Balkan and moreOperatorWritten December 2024

      Hvar is one of the most famous islands in Croatia, and many establishments, including restaurants and attractions, remain open throughout October. However, there is a possibility that some places may either be closed or operate on reduced hours as the season winds down. All options are usually available in October, but their frequency may decrease depending on demand and weather conditions. If you're looking for a more vibrant atmosphere and broader availability of services, the September 23rd tour would be a better recommendation.

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Is a boat excursion to the Pakleni Islands still possible on the day we visit HVAR on October 14th?

    • Balkan and moreOperatorWritten December 2024

      The Pakleni Islands boat tours are usually available in October as well. However, in case of bad weather conditions, the operators may cancel their departures. Please note that the boat ride to Pakleni Islands is not included in the price, and is only a suggested activity for your free time on Hvar.
