    It’s so lovely having everything organised for you- all we had to do was show up. The selection of guesthouses was great, and the transportation was also good. Brikena was very responsive on WhatsApp and checked in with us daily.

    This was a transfer as well as a tour. Klodi’s life experience added a different level to most guides I’ve had. His perspectives were insightful and very valuable to understanding the complexities of Balkan’s politics which is what I was hoping for.

      Carmen

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      You will provide accommodation for 3rd March and 4th March? If we arrive the day before the start, does that mean we book our own accommodation for 2nd March and 5th March (since we want to stay overnight)?

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten November 2024

      That is correct, during the tour there are only 2 overnights covered. Pre tour accomodation and post tour accommodation in Tirana are available on extra charge.
