- James· August 16th, 2025The itinerary is perfect to cover the areas other tour companies don’t cover. The are also very flexible with it too. The highlights of different countries gave a great overview of the areas other and we have learned a lot. The company’s customer service is fantastic. They provide all the detailed information about the tour, how to meet the guide… and they followed up twice during the 14 days tour to make sure everything is ok. Our tour guide Eraldo is just amazing. He is very knowledgeable and he is a fantastic driver. On top of it, he is very caring and detailed. Every time we stood up, he would make sure we did not leave anything behind ; he made sure sure to show us how to get back to hotel when we insisted on going around by ourselves …and he speaks perfect English and very well read. It is enjoyable talking to him about anything. A big thank you!Show more
- Sally· August 16th, 2025Our tour guide, Julian, was the highlight of our tour. He looked after us so well, drive so safely, and was so calm in the face of any challenge. The itinerary itself could be streamlined, as we had to repeat several parts of the trip. Better planning would prevent this. Some of the hotels were not great - hard beds, small rooms, tiny showers - but they were generally well located for walking around. We couldn't understand why our guide often had to stay far away from us in substandard accommodation.Show more
- Dino· August 30th, 2025I used Choose Balkans for my transfer from Albania to Montenegro. It was an absolute seamless experience. They have curated drivers to fit the needs of the passengers. Ervis, our driving was top notch. He was accommodating and catered to the unique needs of the group. One of the best drivers and experiences I had in my many years of travelling.Show more
