Small groups by design
Guaranteed departures carry 24 travelers at most, 10 to 12 on average. Private journeys run for your party alone. Small enough for family wineries, working workshops and tables that seat a few.
Why Balkan&more
Six standards behind every Balkan&more journey, and booking made simple.
We are a local operator, not a reseller: our own team in the Balkans plans and runs every journey. Every departure is guaranteed, so you can book your flights right away. And the moments that make a trip memorable, from family cellars to village kitchens, are always included in the price.
The Balkan&more Standard

Storytelling guides
Fully escorted by tour leaders who have been with us for years. They tell the region’s stories, not dates, and because they are known locally, doors open. For many, the guide is the highlight.

One operator, across the region
Based in Belgrade, we run our own tours across nine Balkan countries and beyond. One contract, one point of contact, no chain of local agents. When plans change, our people are already there.

Named hotels, not categories
Every hotel is named before you book, centrally located and inspected by our own team. City hotels start at 4*, then boutique, heritage, 5* or small hidden places. Tell us how you like to stay.

How we work
Booking made simple
At Balkan&more, we make booking simple and fully tailored to your needs. Whether you’re looking to join an intimate small group tour (up to 24 people) or a private, personalised experience, we offer the flexibility to craft the perfect journey for you. Enjoy seamless planning and unforgettable travel experiences, designed just for you.
Accommodation
We prioritize comfort by selecting centrally located 4* hotels for Standard packages and high-quality 4* and 5* hotels for Superior. In rural areas, we book vetted 3* hotels. While 95% of hotels are pre-listed, substitutions may occur based on availability, ensuring the same quality and location. All accommodations include breakfast, with some offering dinner (depending on the program), and various room options (single, double and triple) are available.
Pre and post-stay
If our tour dates don’t align with your flight schedule, or you’d like to extend your stay, contact our agents. They’ll assist in booking pre- or post-tour accommodation at the same hotel. Use your extra time to explore the city before the tour or unwind after your adventure. We’re here to make your trip as flexible and enjoyable as possible.
Transportation
A comfortable ride is essential to our tours. For 2-3 people, we use high-quality sedans (no more than a few years old) to ensure safety and comfort. For groups of 4-7, we provide Mini Vans with Wi-Fi and AC. Groups of 8-15 enjoy Mini Buses with 19-21 seats, Wi-Fi, and AC. For larger groups (16+), we use modern coaches with 37-45 seats, ensuring all vehicles meet our high standards.
Leisure days
We understand that while our travellers enjoy their guides’ stories, they also value personal time. That’s why we include slow-paced leisure days in our tours. After main sightseeing, travelers can choose to relax at the hotel or beach, explore on their own, shop, or spend the day as they wish. It’s the perfect way to recharge for the adventures ahead.
Tailored to you
We pride ourselves on attention to detail, ensuring every traveler’s needs are understood and met. Our personalized approach means each tour is carefully crafted for comfort and satisfaction. Whether adjusting the pace, fulfilling special requests, or curating unique experiences, we go the extra mile to make each journey unforgettable. Your comfort and happiness are our top priorities every step of the way.
Trusted local partners
We pride ourselves on delivering top-notch travel experiences, and a key part of that success lies in the trusted network we’ve built over the years. The majority of the services we provide are either first-hand or through our carefully selected and long-standing partnerships with local suppliers , ensuring the highest quality at every stage of your journey.
Secure booking
We prioritize the safety and security of your booking by offering secure online payments , accepting AMEX, VISA, and more, giving you peace of mind as you plan your dream vacation.
Responsible travel
Our extensive tourism experience has shown us the impact travelers can have on a destination, so we encourage our guides, drivers, and travellers to “think green” and respect the environment. We promote reducing single-use plastics, recycling, and leaving no waste behind. We provide eco-friendly water bottles and have minimized printing by using electronic confirmations. We also educate travellers on preserving nature during their travels.
Visa requirements
Due to the various nationalities of our customers, it is hard to unify information regarding Visa requirements. It is the responsibility of the passengers to get acquainted with the visa requirements of all the countries they are travelling to or will be in transit.
Visa rules: to check against the EU Entry/Exit System and ETIAS before launch
Cancellation and refunds
Cancel up to 60 days before departure and you get your full payment back. After that, a share of the total price is refunded, depending on how close to departure you cancel.
