- Fleur· March 31st, 2025Me and my friend joined this tour in January operated by Choose Balkans. We had the time of our life while exploring the region. Everything was well organised. A huge thank you to our guide Ana who made this trip a memorable one.Show more
- Tefta· August 10th, 2025Very well executed tour with our guide Ilir!Show more
- Gustav· July 31st, 2025Gifted my sister this trip for her 30th birthday. She had never hiked before, but loved it! The scenes were amazing and the hikes were definitely worth the effort, despite some days having +1,000m of altitude gain. We stayed with the sweetest hosts in both Theth and Valbona. Food was good (and authentic) and drinks were super cheap. Would definitely recommend this to anyone, regardless of hiking experience! Choose Balkans (specifically Brikena) also did a great job organising. Everything was seamless and they were super helpful in organising a private transfer early on the day of the departure, so we could make our flight. Provided a very useful itinerary, and tips along the way and were always responsive (even checked in when we had our private shuttle at 4:50am to make sure we had found our driver).Show more

Asked on February 2nd, 2025I notice there is no tour of Belgrade included on Day 1 or Day 2. What hotel do you use in Belgrade if we wanted an extra day to explore Belgrade? I see that there is a full day city tour on Day 8. What hotel are we in on Day 7? What time is check-out on Day 8? How much is an extra night at this hotel?
Choose BalkansOperator•Written February 2025We are happy to inform you that if you wish we can organize a 9 day tour for you, including also the Belgrade city tour on the first day. On the first day we can pick you up at the airport, after we do the walking tour of the Belgrade and spend the overnight in Belgrade. This tour on 9 days will cost: 2108 euros/person based on double/twin room. Regarding your question about the hotels, the exact hotels will be shared either you 4-5 days after the tour is booked, as this depend on the availability after booking. However to create an idea depending on availability and season we normally collaborate with hotel Argo or similar in Belgrade and Concorde Old Bucharest Hotel or similar in Bucharest.

Traveler•Written February 2025Is there a mistake with your quote for 9 days? You are charging 758€ pp extra for two nights accommodation, one airport transfer and the Belgrade city tour. If the 2108€/person is correct I would have to make my own arrangements for the day before the tour and the day after.
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written February 2025
Since you are 2 people booking together you will fall under the group price of 2-7 pax which is 1874 Euros per person for a 8 days tour. In this case we have only added: 234 Euros / person for adding one extra day. However if you wish you can still make your own arrangements the day before. If you'd prefer to make your own arrangements for the extra days and transfers, we can certainly adjust the quote for you.
