About Us

We are Vlad and Zoe Trestian the owners and managers of Balkan Trails. Vlad is Romanian, Zoe is Bulgarian we have first hand, local knowledge of the countries our tours explore.

We have been working in the travel industry in Eastern Europe since the late 1990s. In 2009, we decided to set up Balkan Trails as a family-owned and managed tour operator company. When trusting us with your travel experience, you will be dealing directly with one of us. Zoe or Vlad will be your single point of contact, so youre always talking to an expert who has an overview of all details related to your tour.

We understand traveling is personal and individual, and no two travelers are alike. That is why the majority of our tours are based on customized itineraries. Your tour is exactly that: YOURS. Just let us know when youd like to arrive and depart, what your interests are, the type of hotels you prefer, and well take care of the rest.

We work with a small number of hand-picked, licensed guides. They all have solid experience and speak excellent English. During your time with them, you will get an insiders perspective on the country, its people, and culture. They are also the ones who will help you interact with locals meeting locals is key to truly understanding a country.

Being a small, family-run business and working with a small number of carefully selected guides also means we can only manage so many tours each year. And that’s OK. Our focus is not organizing lots of “just OK” tours. We are here to create memorable travel experiences. And those do come in limited numbers.

Get in touch today. Were really looking forward to showing you our part of the world.
