The Balkans Revealed: Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro & Bosnia & Herzegovina

Start & end in Belgrade 10 days Up to 15

About this trip

Ten days across four countries, moving from the buzz of Belgrade to the quieter Croatian coast, taking in mountains, waterfalls, and a string of UNESCO sites along the way.

You'll walk the Old Bridge in Mostar, wander the bay towns of Kotor and Perast in Montenegro, and finish in Dubrovnik, with Plitvice Lakes National Park's forests and waterfalls somewhere in the middle.

A guide travels with you throughout, and transport, accommodation, and entrance fees are all sorted, so you can focus on the places rather than the logistics.

What you'll do

  • Explore Belgrade's city centre
  • Walk among the waterfalls and forest trails of Plitvice Lakes National Park
  • Cross the Old Bridge in Mostar
  • Visit the UNESCO towns of Kotor and Perast on Montenegro's coast
  • Wander the old town of Dubrovnik
Good to know
  • Covers four countries in ten days, so expect a fair amount of travel between stops
  • Fully guided throughout, with accommodation and entrance fees included
  • Suits those who want an easy, organised introduction to the region rather than a slow-paced stay in one place
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want stunning Balkan scenery with reliable guides and minimal planning stress. Think twice if you dislike long coach days and need luxury hotels throughout.

  • Guides consistently excellent—Uros, Stefan, Konstantin all praised for deep local history knowledge and genuine helpfulness.
  • Plitvice Lakes waterfalls, Bay of Kotor fjord drive, and Mostar crossing left travellers genuinely moved, not just ticked boxes.
  • Packing four countries into ten days means long coach days; one reviewer noted driver worked nearly twelve days non-stop.
  • Hotel quality inconsistent—mostly comfortable and well-located, but one marketed as 4.5-star looked more like 3-star standard.
