Multi-Country Balkan Tour
Balkan Revealed: Best of Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina in 10 Days
Belgrade to Dubrovnik — four countries, ten days, a lifetime of memories.
This Balkan multi-country tour moves through four distinct nations across ten days, connecting vibrant capital cities, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and landscapes that range from Adriatic coastlines to forested mountain parks.
The itinerary is structured to balance guided discovery with personal exploration. Certified guides handle the logistics while you absorb the layers of Ottoman, Roman, Baroque, and Communist-era history that define this region.
From the fortress-topped confluence of Belgrade to the medieval walls of Dubrovnik, the route covers territory that rewards curious, independent-minded travelers. Plitvice Lakes, Kotor Bay, Mostar, and Sarajevo each bring a different chapter of Balkan history and geography into focus.
Bosnia and Herzegovina adds particular depth to the final days, where Ottoman bazaars, Austro-Hungarian architecture, and the quiet dignity of post-war Sarajevo sit within walking distance of one another.
Tour Highlights
Guided walking tours of Belgrade Fortress, Zagreb Upper Town, Split Old City, and Dubrovnik's walled historic center.
Three-hour guided exploration of Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO-listed natural wonder of interconnected lakes and waterfalls.
Boat ride to the island church of Our Lady of the Rocks in the Bay of Kotor, followed by a walking tour of medieval Kotor.
Visit to Mostar's reconstructed Old Bridge — a UNESCO-protected symbol spanning the Neretva River — and the surrounding Ottoman-era quarter.
Sarajevo city tour covering Bascarsija bazaar, the Gazi Husrev-bey Mosque, the 1984 Olympic stadium, and the Sarajevo Roses memorials.
Exploration of Diocletian's Palace in Split, one of the largest and best-preserved examples of Roman architecture in the world.
Stop in Blagaj and Trebinje, two lesser-visited Herzegovinian towns that provide an authentic contrast to the busier stops on the route.
