- MAMaryann· November 12th, 2024Excellent trip through Albania. Our guide Gesi was great, so knowledgeable and gave us an understanding of life in Albania in the past and currently. Our walking food tour through Tirana with Markel was also very fun. We loved seeing the many areas that are off the tourist track, seeing how the locals live. The food was also so tasty!Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewHello Maryann and Gregory, Thank you so much for your kind words!

- PFPetra· October 30th, 2024I had a great time thanks to perfect organisation, interesting itinerary and excellent guide. I value the fact that the agency checked at several occasions if everything was OK. Itinerary combined hiking, historical cities and different beaches. I liked the variety. The turquoise colour of rivers and beaches is incredible. Accommodation in small family-run hotels was pleasant. Eraldo, guide and driver in one person, made the trip even more enjoyable as we had many topics to discuss during the long driving. Really memorable week!Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Petra, Thank you so much for your wonderful review of the Pearls of Albania tour!

- FSFrank· October 20th, 2024The Pearls tour was terrific. We saw a wide swath of Albania, were introduced to its various cultures, tasted many of its traditional foods, and stayed in nice hotels throughout. Albania was full of jaw-dropping beautiful sights. We were surprised by the variety and beauty of its landscapes and seascapes. We found the Albanian people to be very welcoming and friendly -- and also helpful whenever we needed it.Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Frank and Kelle, thank you for your fantastic review!

- ESEllen· September 12th, 2024Great private tour with hiking, castles, ruins, beautiful cities with a lot of history, picturesque villages, amazing beaches, excellent boutique hotels, great food. Our guide Juli was extraordinarily patient, kind, knowledgeable,friendly and flexible to our needs and a skilled driver as well . All staff were very pleasant and reliable. Very good tour but the hike for me at age 72 to Teth was a real challenge and I should have been advised before and probably an alternate tour that day. The Soloman Museum in Berat was an extra treat for us and good suggestion to include with all your Israeli and Jewish tourists. Juli was a wonderful guide and all your staff were extremely pleasant.Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Ellen and Asher, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
