KUOCHENG· October 26th, 2024The mountain guide Albi is very knowledgeable of the Albanian culture and history. I enjoyed not only the hiking experience but also the interaction with the local people as well. Everything worked out really well from accommodation, food and transportation. I highly recommend this unique tour for adventurous travelers.Show more
Choose Balkans commented on this reviewThank you for your kind feedback, we are so glad you had an enjoyable time in Albania and got to experience the warm and wonderful hospitality our country has to offer. Albi also enjoyed taking you on your hiking adventure and we really hope to welcome... Show moreTrip date: October 2024- CGChristine· September 1st, 2024This was a great tour! We loved the hikes we did, especially Valbona pass and the hike into the mountains from our place in Valbona. Our guide, Albi, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, engaging, and did his best to make sure all of us had a good time. He shared information about the culture of the area, history, and was happy to answer all of our questions. The only thing that I wish had been different was the last day, which was a long day of bus, boat and van driving back to Tirana. Albi did his best to make it as painless as possible but it was a lot of sitting! Not sure anything could have been done differently though, given that we were in a remote part of the country. Administratively, I think communication from Choose Balkans coild have been better from the outset about the need to carry our packs the whole way. We didn’t have a problem with it, but we also didn’t know til after we signed up that this was required. I think a few people on our hike would have been happier had they known.Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Christine, Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and for sharing your experience in the Albanian Alps!

Trip date: June 2024 - MSMary· June 17th, 2024Klei our guide was excellent. Informed and sensitive to our needs. I found the itinerary difficult to understand at times.eg the distances to walk could be interpreted in 2 ways. The discription suitable for ages 9-90 is misleading, as the hikes are demanding. The hike on day 2 in Valbona , is rated difficult and only possible for the very fit, considering it is after the mountain pass of Theth to Valbone, which is tiring. Accommodation in Valbone, disappointing due to a scarcely functional bathroom. This has been detailed to Suzi. Thank you to the CB team, you were great communicators and always ready to help.

- AWAdele· July 2nd, 2023Albania is so beautiful and this was a great trip to appreciate the beauty and hospitality of the locals. The walks take you through ragged rocks, woodland paths and meadows and although tough at times with some long days the scenery thoroughly distracts you. Our trip was well organised and the local operator was very quick to reply to any questions we had and also kept in touch with us throughout the trip to ensure everything was okay. Our guide was very informative and very easy to get on with. An excellent trip in a country where tourism is still new. Go now before the masses!Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your wonderful experience in Albania!
