Journey across the Balkans, uncovering the layered history, cultural diversity, and present realities of four nations: Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, and Montenegro. Blending MEJDI’s signature “Dual Narrative” approach with immersive, community-based travel, this itinerary brings together voices from across historical, ethnic, religious and generational divides.

Walk the cobbled streets of Sarajevo and Dubrovnik, learn to cook with a Herzegovinian chef in Mostar, float across Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor, and hear live folk music on the Adriatic coast. Meet artists and activists, artisans, faith leaders, and survivors of conflict, all inviting travelers to engage deeply with the region’s past while celebrating its resilience.

Extension tour in Albania available per request.

Watch our exclusive interview with TED Fellow, photo journalist, and your tour guide, Ziyah Gafic.

Explore the Land of Blood and Honey through our Dual Narrative tour style, with a Serbian and Bosnian guide.

MEJDI was one of the first global tour companies to earn B Corp Certification back in 2014, long before B Corp became widely recognized beyond sustainability circles. For us, this certification is a transparent way to demonstrate that we stand by our values: we ensure local vendors are paid fair wages, prioritize small, locally-owned businesses, and treat our partners and staff with dignity and respect. This deep commitment to social change drives MEJDI’s mission: “We exist to create a more peaceful and interconnected world through travel.”
