Serbia small group trips

May to October. May and June bring the fullest waterfalls at Plitvice and Jajce; July and August are hot inland, often over 35°C, so we start city days early and enter Plitvice in the afternoon. September and early October are the best balance of warm days and thinner crowds.

Answer for Croatia and the Balkans: Zagreb, Plitvice, Sarajevo, Belgrade and Budapest

Moderate. You walk about 5 to 10 km on city days, on cobbles and some hills, and about 8 km at Plitvice on boardwalks and gravel, shortened by the park boat and train. Fortress climbs in Jajce and Novi Sad have an easier alternative, and you can sit any part out.

A room of your own is from CAD 800 more, a fixed supplement shown before you book, not added at checkout. If you would rather share, ask for a roommate match when you request to book, and we tell you whether another solo traveller of the same gender is on your departure.

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests, never merged with another group, so everyone fits in one vehicle, can hear the guide in a crowded bazaar and sits at one table at lunch.

Canadian, US, UK and EU passport holders need no visa for short stays in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia or Hungary. We cross three borders by road with our own vehicle. Croatia and Hungary are in the Schengen area, so the EU's Entry/Exit System applies, and ETIAS is due to start; we confirm what you need when you book.

Answer for Croatia and the Balkans: Zagreb, Plitvice, Sarajevo, Belgrade and Budapest

Yes. Many guests travel alone, and a room of your own is a stated supplement from CAD 1,185, shown before you book, with no surprise later. If you would like to share, tell us when you book and we try to match you with another solo traveller of the same gender; we cannot promise a match.

Answer for Budapest to Istanbul: Belgrade, Sofia, Plovdiv and Edirne

Canadian and US citizens do not need a visa for short stays in Hungary, Serbia or Bulgaria. Hungary and Bulgaria are in the Schengen area, where the EU's Entry/Exit System registers fingerprints, and an ETIAS authorisation is planned. Turkey's rules differ by passport and have changed recently, so we confirm what you need when you book.

Answer for Budapest to Istanbul: Belgrade, Sofia, Plovdiv and Edirne

Yes, a fixed one: a room of your own is from CAD 750 more, shown before you book, with no surprise later. Solo guests get the same room standard and the same seat at the table as everyone else. Ask if you would like us to try to match you with a roommate of the same gender.

Answer for The Balkans: Dubrovnik, Mostar, Sarajevo and Belgrade

Not for Canadian, US, UK or EU passports on a short stay. Croatia is in the Schengen area, so the EU Entry/Exit System registers you on arrival, and the ETIAS travel authorisation will apply once it starts. Serbia and Bosnia are outside Schengen. Check your passport's validity requirements for each country; we confirm them when you book.
