Why travel with us ?

Despite sitting on the fringes of Europe, most of the Balkans sees fewer visitors than many further flung destinations that people typically consider to be off-the-beaten-track. Nonetheless it boasts many charms as well as a fascinating history, both ancient and recent. We know the region well and work with the best local guides and so we will be happy to advise you so you fulfil your trip requirements.

We offer itineraries that cover each country in depth - Serbia,  Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Albania - some are available as group or private tours, others on a private-only basis. We also offer a range of multi-country small group tours including our Balkan Odyssey (15 days covering Serbia,  Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Bosnia), Balkan Explorer (20 days covering all 6 countries) and the Archaeology of the Balkans (covering key archaeology sites in Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro over 19 days).

For tailormade tours we can offer anything available on our group tours but also more individualised options.

The Balkans, or former Yugoslavia (apart from Albania), to most of us! Having been through years of war and turbulent times in the 80s and 90s, the Balkan nations now stand out strong and independent, each with its own cultural, linguistic and historical identity. These appeal to the most intrepid traveller and would satisfy those who want to peel back the historical layers of each country’s modernising image. Join expert Robert Dee, on a journey through the Balkans as we experience local cultures, delicious food & wine and some of the most beautiful scenery in all of Europe.
