How to book your trip with 3E Travel
Booking takes a few simple steps, and you pay nothing until the plan suits you. Here is how it works, from your first request to your first day on the trail.

How to book your trip
Our team in Podgorica answers your request and plans your trip with you.
Choose a trip, or bring your own idea
Browse our walking holidays and cycling tours. Each trip page lists what is included and what is not. Nothing fits? Tell us your idea. We can plan a trip around it.
Send us a request
Use the request form or WhatsApp. Tell us roughly when you want to go, who is travelling and the pace you like. Say if you want to go self-guided or with a guide.
Get your draft plan
Within 1–2 days we send you a draft itinerary and a price. You pay nothing at this stage.
Shape it until it fits
Swap a day, change a hotel or make the walking easier. We adjust the plan until you are happy with it.
Confirm with a deposit
Your trip is confirmed when we receive your deposit. We tell you the amount with your quote. You then get a receipt and an invoice for the balance.
Book your flights
Book your flights once your trip is confirmed. Our prices cover the land part of your trip, so international flights are not included.

How to pay for your trip
A deposit confirms your booking. We tell you the amount with your quote, and you get an invoice for the rest. The balance is due four weeks before you travel. Booking less than four weeks before departure? Then you pay the full amount at once.
You can pay by bank transfer or card. Your invoice explains how. All our prices are in euros.
The price covers everything listed in your itinerary, such as your accommodation and, on most trips, luggage transfers. International flights, travel insurance, meals that are not listed and personal expenses cost extra.
We recommend travel insurance. Want cancellation insurance? Ask for it when you first send your request. You cannot add it later.
Plans can change. You can move your trip to a later date, or cancel it. If you cancel 60 or more days before departure, the charge is 20% of the trip price. It rises step by step to 100% in the last two weeks. Our terms and conditions list every step.

What happens after you book
Once your deposit arrives, we confirm your trip and send your invoice. Then our team arranges the details with our local partners.
When you book, tell us about anything we should know. That could be a food allergy, a vegetarian diet or the bike size you need.
Need to change something after you book? Ask us in writing. We do our best to make it work, though a change can come with an admin fee.
Your timeline
When your deposit arrives
Your trip is confirmed. You get a receipt and an invoice for the balance.
Four weeks before you travel
Your balance is due.
About a month before you travel
Your pre-departure briefing arrives. It covers your trip, the region's history and wildlife, what to pack and how to prepare. Self-guided travellers also get route notes, maps and GPX files.

What happens during your trip
Most of our multi-day trips start with an orientation meeting when you arrive. Bring your questions about the route.
On self-guided days you walk or ride at your own pace. On most trips, your luggage goes ahead to your next overnight stop, so you only carry a day pack.
On most trips you also get a local phone with our 24/7 support line. Our team in Podgorica is one call or WhatsApp message away.
On guided days, a local guide walks or rides with you. When the weather or safety calls for a change, the guide decides on the route.
Something not right? Tell your guide or our team straight away. We can usually fix it on the spot.
Back home, we would love to hear how it went. Read what other travellers say.
