What people love about Albania And Montenegro Tours
- Visit Albania - North Macedonia - Kosovo - Montenegro
Overall the tour was great! Jenka, our tour guide and Ervin, the driver always ensure we were happy and comfortable throughout the tour!
- Semi-Private Hiking Tour; Peaks of the Balkans in 10 days
What an incredible experience we had! The trip was perfectly organized, and the food fantastic. A truly gifted guide, he had an encyclopaedic knowledge of everything, was always attentive to the group and had us laughing always. Don’t miss this trip!”
Wow!!! What a trip! Where to start? Everything was wonderful!!! The hosts and their food were all amazing, the places where we stayed were all better than I expected with hot showers, much nicer rooms than what I've seen elsewhere AND incredible views, Anton and Blendi did an awesome job (everything is ready when we need it: bus waiting for us at the time requested, rooms ready when we arrive, meals on time... everything runs really smoothly but we know behind the scene there's a lot of work to make this happen) and they're both very friendly, helpful and always making sure we have everything we want. We had a great group of people, lots of laugh, lots of raki, lots of sweat (but oh so worth it: I got over 800 photos to prove it!) ? And to top it off, flowers everywhere and couldn't have asked for better weather! As Anton would say "I was VERY IMPRESSED!" ? Would totally recommend this tour to any avid hikers! ❤️❤️❤️
Peaks of the Balkans - Hiking Beyond Borders in Albania, Kosvovo & Montenegro (12 Days)
What our customers ask about Albania and Montenegro Tours & Trips
Is it better to visit Albania or Montenegro first when combining both countries in one trip?
You'll want to kick off your Balkan adventure in Albania - starting with the buzz of Tirana before heading south to soak in the stunning Albanian Riviera. From there it's a natural flow into Montenegro where Kotor Bay's dramatic scenery and the historic charm of Budva and Cetinje await. This route really lets you ease from cultural immersion into coastal relaxation and works perfectly whether you're planning it yourself or joining tours like the Gems of the Balkans or Montenegro & Albania Adventure.
How many days are recommended to properly experience Albania and Montenegro?
You'll need at least 7 days to get a proper taste of what these countries offer - enough time to hit the major spots like Tirana Berat Kotor Bay and Budva. If you can stretch it to 10-14 days though you'll really get to dive deep into the culture explore the mountain regions and discover some amazing off-the-beaten-path spots. The longer timeframe works great with tours like Peaks of the Balkans or the 4 Capitals of Western Balkan experience that really let you soak everything in.
What are the most practical ways to travel between cities and across borders in Albania and Montenegro?
While renting a car gives you freedom those border crossings and insurance rules can get tricky. You might find it easier to hop on organized tours that handle all the transport hassles - popular options include Gems of the Balkans or Montenegro & Albania Adventure. Getting around within each country is pretty straightforward with reliable and affordable bus networks connecting the main spots. For shorter trips or if you want more flexibility private transfers like the Tirana to Podgorica service are worth considering.
Which lesser-known destinations in Albania and Montenegro offer unique experiences with relatively low tourist traffic?
You'll love Himarë on the Albanian Riviera - it's this gorgeous coastal town with peaceful beaches and stunning views that hasn't been discovered by the masses yet. Shkodër's another hidden gem sitting on Lake Skadar mixing cultural heritage with beautiful Venetian architecture. Up in Montenegro Zabljak serves as your gateway to Durmitor National Park's pristine mountain landscape. These spots feature in various tours like Montenegro & Albania Adventure Classic Balkans and the Balkan Express cycling route but still maintain their authentic charm.
Which regionally recognized dishes should I try in Albania and Montenegro, and where can I find them?
When you're in Albania you've got to try Tavë Kosi - this amazing baked lamb dish with yogurt and eggs that you'll find in traditional restaurants. Speca me Glizë bell peppers stuffed with rice and herbs is another must-try usually served as home-style cooking. Over in Montenegro don't miss the Njeguški Pršut - that's their famous mountain-air-cured ham you can taste right in Njeguši village. Make sure to sample some Kajmak too - it's this incredible creamy spread that pairs perfectly with local cheeses and bread. You'll find these specialties featured on food stops during tours like Montenegro & Albania - 7 days.
