- MDMarcus· October 6th, 2025This was a fascinating, informative and occasionally exhausting tour. Ermest (Eri) is an amazing guide and really provided us with insight into the history of the Ilyrian people and the cultural influences in the region. It is clear that Eri knows his stuff and loves showing his country off. We have reflected several times on what a great value this tour was. The hotels were well-chosen and the ride and drive were great. We recommend this tour highly and hope to travel with them again.Show more
Choose Balkans commented on this reviewHello, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We look forward to welcoming you again in our tours. Best regards, Choose Balkans TeamTrip date: September 2025 - Woon Hooi Grace· March 12th, 2025It's an experience to travel to see so many things and places in just four days. Berat and Kruje were beautiful places to visit. The castles were scenic. North Macedonia Ohrid is a must see. If you could do a 2 nights stay there it would be more wonderful. Skopje has beautiful monuments, statues and bridges. Kosovo was alright, more of a city. But in total, all worth the visit. The weather is March is just nice. The guide was helpful and knowledgeable.Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Woon Hooi, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable tour.

- Quirine· July 2nd, 2024What an amazing experience we had on this adventure! It was a perfect mix of guided experiences and free time to explore each place at your own pace. We saw a lot in 4 days, the drives never felt too long, we were very comfortable and the views were beautiful. The hotels were located very centrally and all within walking distance from the must-see areas. The communication before, during and after the tour was perfect. We learned so much about the area and would want to go back! Thank you to Choose Balkans and our guide Ilir!Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewHello Quirine, it was a pleasure to have you both on tour with us over four days of Balkan highlights.

- Ana Sofia· May 23rd, 2024We had the most wonderful time exploring Albania, North Macedonia and Kosovo in this 4 day tour. Our tour guide, Gentjan, is not only the most considerate, cultured and welcoming tour guide, but also one of the kindest, generous and insightful humans we ever met. We are deeply grateful for the eye-opening experience he provided us with. We learned greatly about the history and culture while also having fun. I particularly enjoyed beautiful Ohrid. The tour is well-organised, with good accommodation and flexible pace. I would totally recommend this tour for anyone looking for an amazing overview of these 3 countries in a short period of time. I hope to return one day and to give Gentjan a massive hug!Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Ana, thank you so much for your kind feedback.

- VRVarija· May 23rd, 2024Didn’t like the tour at all. Hotels were below a stage. They gave an electric car and driver cum guide didn’t know where to charge the car and wasted lot of our time.

- Holly· January 8th, 2024Choose Balkans used a freelancer who is an unlicensed tour guide and self-proclaimed hiking guide. He did not know hardly any history and would invent information when asked something he did not know. His English was hard to understand too. He had bad time management skills by disregarding when the winter sun set, not knowing the winter museum hours, and driving half of the speed limit. Thus, we missed a UNESCO museum, could not see the castle grounds or countryside while driving for hours after sunset, and did not have free time as mentioned in the itinerary. He was very kind, but obviously not qualified as a tour guide for 4 days in December. Since it was off season, we should have been booked into hotels in the old town centers. At 2 hotels, I was given unenclosed showers, so water went everywhere, including on towels and my stuff. Sirma at Choose Balkans was very quick and thorough when responding to my questions and did daily follow-up during the tour. Unfortunately, nothing could be done to change guides during the tour over the holidays. I would NOT recommend using Choose Balkans.Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Holly, Thank you for taking time to share your feedback about your experience with us.
