About this trip
Two weeks travelling overland through the Balkans, taking in six countries and the mix of history, faith and old town life that shaped this part of Europe.
You move by coach between capital cities, coastal towns and mountain monasteries, from the reconstructed bridge at Mostar to the fortified bay at Kotor. It is a region still finding its identity after the wars of the 1990s, and the trip gives you a chance to see that recent history alongside centuries-old heritage sites.
Guided throughout, this suits people who want the context filled in rather than working it out themselves, with a good number of UNESCO sites along the way.
What you'll do
- Walk the old town of Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina
- See the rebuilt Old Bridge in Mostar's UNESCO-listed old town
- Explore Dubrovnik's walled old city on the Adriatic
- Visit Kotor and its bay, ringed by fortified walls and mountains
- Step inside Visoki Decani Monastery, home to the largest medieval church in the Balkans
- Walk around Lake Ohrid and the old town of Ohrid, a former literary and royal centre
- Coach-based trip covering six countries in 14 days, so you change base frequently
- Fully guided throughout, with a strong focus on history and cultural context
- Suits travellers more interested in sightseeing and heritage than beach time or free days
Worth it if you want a whirlwind cultural sampler across 8 countries with a genuinely capable guide and driver. Think twice if you need comfort—the bus leaks, stairs are frequent, and 14 days is relentless.
- Guide consistently praised by name for deep historical knowledge, strong personality management, and genuine care keeping groups together.
- Eight countries in two weeks means you sample major highlights efficiently and form tight friendships with fellow travellers.
- Bus has reported ceiling leaks when raining; operator acknowledges this needs fixing for future tours.
- Many hotels lack lifts and involve stairs—flagged in documents but worth accepting beforehand if mobility is a concern.
