    We took this tour on September 1st, 2024 with Erikson M., who was an AMAZING guide. He took really great care of us while showing us everything the beautiful Struga and Ohrid had to offer. I appreciated experiencing the beach feel of one city juxtaposed to the historical focal points of the next city the most about this tour. It is roughly a 12 hour day and Erikson showed our group a lot of patience during it all. He encouraged bathroom stops, snacks, provided clear and concise instructions, and was an extremely safe driver. For future patrons, eat a large breakfast and bring a snack because we did not eat "lunch" until about 1500. Also, on the way to N. Macecedonia, you stop at this gorgeous rest stop to try an alcoholic drink called "raki" and you'll definitely want to have something in your belly before it. LOL! Erik, thank you so much again and best of luck to you in your future endeavors!

    We had an absolutely brilliant time and would highly recommend the trip. Our tour guide was Ilir who made the trip so special. He was very kind, knowledgeable and attentive, and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. The journey was comfortable with good stops and the places we visited were really beautiful.

    Juli was our tour guide and was fantastic! He knew the local history, architecture, culture, food, and current environment. We could not have found a more knowledgeable guide and competent driver on our own! And the Choose Balkans team that organizes and manages all the logistics are world class! I've traveled to more than 40 countries, and I'd match this tour group with any in the world I've used before. I'm grateful for a memorable experience and for making our time in Tirana worthwhile. It was a trip that we will not forget!
