Do you have availability for one person on the tour departing Bucharest on4th October please? Is breakfast and any other meals included in the price? What grade are the hotels please?

Unfortunately we are unable to run this for 4 Oct as we have a local partner in Romania we work with for this. They have advised they are unable to take the booking as they do not have a group departing.

Me and my friend joined this tour in January operated by Choose Balkans. We had the time of our life while exploring the region. Everything was well organised. A huge thank you to our guide Ana who made this trip a memorable one.

It’s so lovely having everything organised for you- all we had to do was show up. The selection of guesthouses was great, and the transportation was also good. Brikena was very responsive on WhatsApp and checked in with us daily.

  We do not have dates yet but we're thinking about going in August or September 2025. We plan to just come in for this tour so likely stay somewhere the day we get in and will spend a night after the tour ends but we still need to find where.
