    Our guide was very informed and the tour was very well organised and went to places that were off the beaton track. Our guide made informed choices when the set plan required changes. Our guide assisted me on the walks and found walking poles that helped my balance so I could walk independently. He treated all members of our group with respect and is a very special youngman.

    Our tour guide, Daniela, was outstanding, very well organised and took very good care of all of us on the trip. The tour followed the itinerary almost exactly and as a result I have seen all of the amazing places in the Balkans I was hoping to see. If you like the look of the itinerary, I would highly recommend this tour.

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange a Spanish speaking leader. Since this is a group tour and we have travelers around the world joining this trip, so the drive will be English speaking only.

    What additional costs are not included? How much should I budget for food, tips, etc?

    Payments
    Price / Availability
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten April 2024

      When it comes to spending money on the trip, every traveller is a little different. We suggest EUR 500.00 for meals not included on this trip. Our suggestion is based on past traveller feedback but you may choose to spend more or less. You may consider tipping your group leader or local representative for outstanding service throughout your trip. The amount is entirely a personal preference however as a guideline 4-7 USD or EUR per person (in a currency relevant to your destination), per day can be used.

      Could I get a euro price not pounds sterling please?

      Sophia

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      If I convert the price from pounds to euros on xe.com (1548 + 430) I get 2340 euros. If I take the 275 intrepid only credit from that, the tour price should be around 2065 euros. Is that correct?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten February 2022

      Trip cost: €1,732 (discounted price), Single supplement: €505, Total: €2,237 per person
