This thoughtfully curated journey across the Balkans explores the layered history, cultural diversity, and dynamic present of four nations: Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, and Montenegro. Blending MEJDI’s signature dual narrative approach with immersive, community-based travel, the itinerary brings together voices from across divides—historical, ethnic, and generational.

Walk the cobbled streets of Sarajevo and Dubrovnik with local guides offering multiple perspectives. Learn to cook with a Herzegovinian chef in Mostar, float across Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor, and join in live folk music on the Adriatic coast. Through meaningful encounters—with artists, activists, artisans, faith leaders, and survivors of conflict—this journey invites travelers to engage deeply with the region’s past while celebrating its resilience and cultural vibrancy.

Extension tour in Albania available per request.

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.”
