- Ermal· December 23rd, 2019Europe’s last hidden gem for real. Valbona I have been looking for new adventures to conquer and to be honest all Europe is great but it lacks that level of excitement , of the unknown. Here is where Albania was a perfect fit for this year’s journey. After some research I found this small company called Choose balkans and they were more than happy to facilitate a trip for me and my friends to valbona. They were highly responsive and professional and even though we had some specifications everything was taken care to the detail. The guide was fluent, funny and highly knowledgeable . Overall was a very fun experience and challenging at some parts but the locals made it all the better with their kind gestures like asking how we were or offering us raki which to our suprise was white good. Highly recommend this company to whatever itinerary you have they will make it happen for you. CheersShow more
Choose Balkans commented on this reviewHello Ermal, thank you for another kind review. :) It was a pleasure to organise this tour for you and your friends. Best regards, Choose Balkans TeamTrip date: July 2019 - SGSabrina· August 3rd, 2019We were super delighted with our tour. We were blown away by the breath taking landscape and overwhelmed by the hospitality shown to us even with the language barrier. Our guide Engkel was every kind of wonderful. He ensured we had everything that we needed at all times. He even helped to carry an injured lady down one of the mountains! A true hero. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the local stories and appreciated the extra effort he went to regarding our specific needs along the way. He was exceptional. We will definitely be recommending this to our friendsShow moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewHello Sabrina, thank you for your kind review.
