- Mary· July 13th, 2025The tour was amazing! We had such a great time! The countries we visited were beautiful, and we learned so much from our guide, Ilir. He was friendly, patient, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Every site and restaurant he recommended we visit in our free time was outstanding. I also sincerely appreciated the tour company and our guide staying in touch with us using WhatsApp--it was so easy and convenient. The only thing that wasn't so great was that some of our hotels didn't have strong AC, so it was hot when we tried to sleep. One of those hotels, Beatrix Luxe (in Budva), also had no lift, and our rooms were on the top floor. We had to carry our luggage up all those stairs and the rooms were hot. The location of all of our hotels was excellent, though. Hotel Mozart was outstanding, and the AC worked great!! I would enthusiastically recommend Tour Radar and Choose Balkans to travelers interested in visiting the Balkans. I wouldn't hesitate to take another tour with either company. I'm so impressed with how amazing and affordable this tour was.Show more

Asked on September 1st, 2024I plan to do the "Peaks of the Balkans Trail" route solo. Citizens of my country do not need visas, but I know that it is necessary to issue permits for crossing borders when hiking. However, I have come across information that permits are issued only for groups and not for individual travelers. Is it really true?
Choose BalkansOperator•Written September 2024We have never come across information regarding not being able to issue solo travelers a permit so you will be ok to come along on the hike.

Traveler•Written September 2024Do you provide assistance in obtaining border crossing permits? How much does it cost to complete the entire track (starting and ending in Theth)? How much time before the trip should it be done?
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written September 2024
Once you book the tour, we do take care about border crossing permits.
