    We arrived on monday at Tirana and met Sirma at the office. Shs was really helpful and enthusiastic about the hiking trip we booked at ChooseBalkans. The 5 day tour was organised very well so there were very few times we had a question for Sirma during the tour. We are happy with the service and we would recommend this tour to everyone.
