- Carlos Gustavo· April 25th, 2025It was a really good tour. I felt that I was traveling with a friend, Oltion, my guide, explained to me a lot of things about history, nature and showed me the better landscape to do pics in south Albania. Oltion managed the tour and it was not the classic tour that gave you 10 min here, 20 min there.... That's why I felt that I was traveling with a friend. Also, Choose Balkans allowed me to add Gjirokaster to have a diverse tour, the historical part with gjirokaster; the nature in the blue eye; the European Caribbean in Ksamil and a lovely place in Saranda.Show more
