- MCMary· June 13th, 2024Gosh, where to start. This company was fabulous, far exceeding my expectations. Albania is a beautiful, warm, generous country that welcomed us with all its stunning scenery and curious, helpful peoples. Brikena, Antonella, Gjelosh and many other drivers and guesthouse staff were prompt, knowledgeable and efficient. I can say I have developed a fondness for Albania due to them.

- Choose BalkansOperator•Written September 2024
The price for this tour is €625 per person however this is with no guide and is for hikers who wish to hike by themselves, by following our maps. You will make your own way to a meeting point on the morning of the tour where you will take a bus to the North. If you wish to have a guide and get picked up from your hotel in our private vehicle, we recommend this tour: Hiking Tour of Theth, Valbona Valley, Koman Lake & Shala River in 6 Days. This tour is €1,000 per person and your guide will pick you up from your hotel. You will have this guide during the whole tour. These packages include accomodation with breakfast however lunch and dinner will be paid by you at the Guesthouses. This is approximately 12- 15 euro per meal.
