About this trip
This 13-day overland route runs from Belgrade to Dubrovnik, cutting through Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia along the way. It's a mix of city time and countryside, with a fair bit of wine and food built into the days rather than tacked on.
Expect capital-city walks, a medieval hilltop village, and stretches of Istria and the Dalmatian coast, finishing on Croatia's coastline.
It's pitched as easy-going and guided throughout, with room for families as well as solo travellers, so the pace isn't punishing.
What you'll do
- Walk through Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan Park
- Explore Ljubljana, one of Europe's greenest capitals
- Taste wines on Goriška Hill and visit the medieval village of Šmartno
- Hunt for truffles in Istria
- Try handcrafted wines from the Pelješac peninsula
- See Roman-era architecture in Croatia before reaching Dubrovnik
- Covers three countries over 13 days, so you're changing location regularly
- Wine and food tastings (Goriška Hills, Istria truffles, Pelješac wines) are built into specific days rather than optional extras
- Billed as easy-paced and suited to families as well as groups
Worth it if you get an experienced guide like Marko, Dejan, or Theo. Think twice if you dislike long driving days with minimal downtime and itinerary changes.
- Nine-hour minibus days with no lunch breaks and sightseeing at 7:30 PM defeats the purpose.
- Guides like Marko go genuinely above and beyond: arranging doctor visits, deep regional knowledge, adaptable pacing.
- New or less experienced guides waste time on hotel pickups and switch itineraries last-minute; quality varies significantly.
- Hotels are well-placed and you see five countries, but expect living from a suitcase for thirteen days.
