About Brill Travel
At Brill Travel we believe that the best way to experience the Balkans is through the stories, flavours, and hidden paths that large tour buses often miss. Specializing in private cultural tours, we connect the dots between the ancient ruins in Bulgaria, the legendary castles of Romania, and the medieval lakeside heritage of North Macedonia.
Why Choose Our Balkan Routes?
Our team is comprised of local experts who don’t just show you landmarks; they introduce you to the soul of the region. From the cobblestone streets of Plovdiv and Sibiu to the vibrant modern energy of Bucharest and Skopje, our itineraries are designed for the curious traveller.
- Regional Expertise: Deep knowledge of Transylvania, the Balkan Mountains, and UNESCO World Heritage sites.
- Tailor-Made Flexibility: We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” Every private tour is customizable to fit your pace, interests, and dietary preferences.
- Seamless Logistics: We handle the complexities of multi-country travel—including border crossings and local currencies—so you can focus on the journey.
Join us for a bespoke regional experience that goes beyond the guidebook. Whether you are exploring the “Paris of the East” in Bucharest or the “Jerusalem of the Balkans” in Ohrid, we ensure your journey is as unique as the destinations themselves.

Knowledgeable, friendly guide-escorts @Brill Travel
In fact, we plan our tours attentively with our guests’ interests in mind. Licensed guides lead our guided tours. And each one is an expert in their field: historians, geographers, archaeologists, wine experts. We try to make our tours more intimate, having the same guide to accompany you throughout the trip.
Intelligent, professional English-speaking drivers
We operate private self-guided tours with the best local English-speaking drivers. They know how to make you discover the hidden treasures at your own pace. They are your best consultants as to where the best local coffee-shops, restaurants or beauty spots en route are.
Adventurous and Memorable
Our tours are moderately active and require a certain amount of walking activity. Most of the city tours are on foot and sometimes on uneven surfaces. Old towns in the Balkans have not changed much through the centuries and cobblestone streets involve some walking. With our tours, you will enjoy a walking sightseeing at your own pace – you are on holiday, after all.
We at Brill Travel offer several possibilities to make your tour unique and memorable. Should it be a side trip to a winery or an eco-fest, an egg painting demonstration, or a “horo” dance lesson, the options are endless. As a result,we create an unforgettable travel experience and satisfy our guests’ expectations.
