Buckle up
The beginning
Established in 2015 in Bulgaria, the agency initially offered private tours around Bulgaria. The owners took great pleasure in showcasing the lesser-known and often underappreciated aspects of their homeland to travelers.
As many of their satisfied customers returned, they asked:
– We’d love to tour with you again, but we’ve already seen Bulgaria! Do you cover the neighboring countries?
Embracing the opportunity, they expanded our offerings to include all 12 Balkan countries in our tours.
Today’s Balkan Tales
At its core, Balkan Tales is about sharing stories.
Experience them firsthand from the locals themselves – beyond providing you with a guide/driver throughout your journey, we also include walking tours led by the best local tour guides in each major city you visit with us.
As a licensed tour operator based in Bulgaria, we specialize in small group tours across the entire Balkan region.
Our tours cater to families and individuals of all ages, cultures, ethnicities, and religious beliefs.
Our mission
Our primary goal is to welcome you to our homeland and offer an unparalleled tour experience.
We strive to create lasting memories and invite you to join us on a journey that feels more like a road trip with friends.
We are deeply passionate about travel, delicious food, genuine friendships, engaging conversations, expanded horizons, and a spirit of adventure.
