Together with our partner – European Journeys – we have over 30 years of experience designing and operating tours not only in the Balkans but all over Europe.
We organise curated group tours that offer you the chance to explore the rich cultural and natural heritage of the region, all while enjoying exceptional comfort and service.
Our Balkan tours go beyond the region’s highlights, focusing on specific themes like Flowers and Nature, Culture and History, and Food and Drink. With us, you will enjoy unique experiences, such as private garden visits, less explored museums, and intimate culinary encounters.
Our tours are perfect for those who seek more than sightseeing. We offer an enriching journey that connects you with the heart of the Balkans.
