    I had heard only good words from my friends about their travels to Albania and i finally decided to try it myself. It was worth it. The Choose Balkans Team helped me find the tour that best suited me and made sure that i had a great experience from start to finish. We visited three different UNESCO sites around the south of Albania and i was very pleased with what i saw and experienced. If you have never been to Albania i would highly suggest this tour. Dont miss it!

    Ali

    Asked on June 27th, 2025

    Could you please clarify the difference between 'Standard' and 'Premium' hotel options? As a 40 yr old female solo traveler planning to join in July or August, I'm curious about the typical age range of participants on this trip. Any tips for solo travelers would also be appreciated!

    Accommodation
    Age Range
    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten June 2025

      The Standard option includes comfortable 3-star hotels, while the Premium option offers upgraded accommodation in 4-star hotels. The typical age range for this tour is between 35 and 65 years old. At the moment, we do not have any confirmed departures for this tour during the dates you requested. However, you can still enjoy this tour as a solo traveler.

      Ali

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Would it be possible to know the hotels we would be staying at and also the average ages of the other people in the group. Are there solo travelers? I am a 40 year old female and was hoping to travel with like minded people 30 - 50. I would do the premium option hotel.

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten June 2025

      We do have a lot of solo travellers, so you will definitely be in good company with like-minded people. Unfortunately, we don't have information about the specific ages of others in the group, however group age is around 35-65 years old. Hotel upgrade is possible on extra charge: 1118 euros for some tours.

    Asked on June 20th, 2023

    We are interested in hiring a private guide. We land in Tirana on the 7th of August with a hotel reservation in Sarande until the 10th. We then move to Tirana until we leave on the 14th. We don't need a tour every day, for example are thinking of taking the ferry to Corfu for a day. We like UNESCO, cultural and historical sites as well as seeing the scenery. Interested in your suggestions and cost.
