The Balkans cultural vacation

Planet

Upon arrival at the Belgrade airport, as a welcoming gesture passengers will receive canvas bags and reusable water bottles since the tap water from all these countries (Serbia, Bosnia, and Montenegro) is drinkable. So we will kindly ask them to not use plastic bottles and bags in order to protect the environment. During our trip, mostly, we will visit rural areas and natural resources, less-known travel destinations, so we will spend most of our time outdoors passing through the amazing wilderness. Therefore, we will suggest to our visitors to adjust so, our tour leaves a minimal trace on these areas, either by off-road vehicles or on foot depending on marked trails. Also, our tour leader will regularly inform visitors about the cultural and political sensitivity of the particular areas to respect and protect what makes these areas unique. We do not print brochures, our guests will receive all the necessary information in an online format in advance, and the tour leader will regularly remind them about it when visiting a certain location.

People

Next to the tour leader (a person from our agency that will be at your service throughout the trip), we will also have professional local guides for the city tour, mountain guides, and skippers. For accommodation, we chose local places, from Salaš 137, a typical place for one part of Serbia to smaller private motels such as Motel Braca Cesko in BiH. To support the local community we have found accommodation in local areas with rural household Ivanicki konaci Serbia, sleepover Carobni breg Serbia and visiting households Bektic in BiH. The food that will be served to our guests is grown and produced in these areas so the guests will have the opportunity to try different cuisine that is characteristic of these local communities such as rural household Savic Serbia, Ethno house Belino sokace Serbia, rural household Brkic BiH, Women association of Srebrenica BiH, Ethno village Milogošce Serbia, rural household Ðalovic Montenegro. Also, the drinks offered for tasting and sale are locally made. Brandy and wine from the distillery Zeric Serbia and the rural household of Viljamovka BiH. Visitors will have the opportunity to engage with locals during the workshops, cooking, fishing as well as by visiting cultural and historical facilities whose tickets will be provided. Besides food, as a way of connecting with locals, we like to learn local songs. The tour guide will make sure to inform the visitors about living conditions, the educational system, the role and status of women in society, and when is a good time to take photos.
