Over 10 years of research and experience boiled down into 4 weeks of untamed, raw and pure Balkan
We’re locals, we're licensed tour guides and, above all, we're travellers. You're in good hands.
Balkan Roads is the difference between visiting and experiencing the Balkans
There are 3 main elements that make the Balkan Roads adventure unique:
01/ THE CHECKPOINTS
Over 100 hand-picked, most authentic, and interactive experiences available in the Balkans.
Take a photo with a monument, climb a mountain, watch over a herd of sheep overnight, get invited by a local for a homemade meal, go bungee jumping… The list goes on.
It’s up to you to decide what you want to experience, and we’ll help you make it happen.
02/ THE GAME
Each checkpoint brings points and a chance to win a prize in the end.
BR is not a competition but rather a game. By completing the tasks listed in our BR app, you collect points and play your way through the Balkans. The more points, the closer you are to getting a prize.
It’s just our way to add an extra flavour to the trip for our most competitive wandering spirits.
03/ THE GUIDES
Meet the Guide whisperers – your personal guide through the Balkans
Every team gets a dedicated professional remote travel assistant we like to address – “the guide whisperer”.
They will reveal all the hidden secrets in vast and complex Balkan customs, tradition and natural wonders to you, communicate with you while you driving and be the first in a row to laugh at you when you get lost.
IF YOU DECIDE TO VISIT THE BALKANS – YOU’LL HAVE A GOOD TIME.
IF YOU DECIDE TO EXPERIENCE THE BALKANS – YOU’LL NEVER FORGET IT.
MAKE YOUR TRIP MEMORABLE.
MAKE IT A BALKAN ROADS TRIP.
"I have come to know the Balkan Roads team on a personal level. Filip, the owner, is a wonderful person.
He has an extensive industry knowledge and knows the ins and outs of the whole Balkan region. If you are looking for a wonderful experience in the Balkans, I certainly recommend joining them."
"Highly recommended for all adventurers! This trip is like a return to the past when everything was sooo easy... Thank you for such a fun and enlightening experience. Totally worth it!"
"I'm not sure how the whole thing works but their guests seem to love it. I'm always worried about Filip when he leaves for his trips. But when I see with how much passion an love he does it, I can't help it but be happy for him. He's a good boy."
