    I had a great trip with Igor as my tour guide. The itinerary was busy and overall well organised. Igor's knowledge of various cities and other locations was very good and interesting. No problems with the English language. Most hotels were centrally located so you could walk easily to various areas of interest.

    This tour was a great opportunity to visit the Balkans and a great ending to my Europe Discovery Tour I had. I had a great time with the group we went to on this tour, and the guide was amazing, very professional, and knowledgeable about the places we visited. The itinerary, accommodation and tours were great and as described. I recommend it.

    Keith

    Asked on October 21st, 2024

    I am looking at 6 to 13 April, 2025 dates. I am wondering if they are all guaranteed departure dates, and if not when would be the latest it would be cancelled.

    Tour Details
    • AjdinisOperatorWritten October 2024

      Yes, these are guaranteed dates. If, for any reason, the tour needs to be canceled, we will inform the passengers at least 1 month in advance.

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      I am trying to finalize my dates for April 2025 and know that Easter is in the days I would like to travel. Does this affect itinerary in anyway as regards highlights being closed. I am looking at Balkan Ring tour from 13-20 April.

    • AjdinisOperatorWritten November 2024

      We want to assure you that the itinerary will remain unchanged during the holiday, and we will cover all the tour highlights as planned.

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      I am wanting to know if the hotel you use in Tirana is the same for all tours or does it change throughout the year? I recall reading somewhere it is the Albanopolis Hotel. I am just trying to plan where I would stay at the end of the tour for a few days in Tirana.

    • AjdinisOperatorWritten November 2024

      It depends on availability, but 90% of the time we use the Albanopolis Hotel. We always prioritize selecting hotels in the city center.
