    Me 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.

    The 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!

    Our 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.

    Asked on December 28th, 2024

    I am very interested in this tour and another tour - Small Group Tour; Gems of Albania, Kosovo & N. Macedonia and would like to know if there is a single supplement for solo traveler or you could pair me with another same gender (female) solo traveler. My travel date is flexible.

    Single supplement

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      I had not realized the Semi-Private Tour; Serbia, Bulgaria & Romania from / to Belgrade is so expensive for solo traveler supplement, it's double the price. Looks like if I were to take this tour I will have to find a friend to join me. Gems of Albania, Kosovo & N. Macedonia from Tirana looks more affordable for me with supplement, but the confirmed departure dates you recommended are not agreeable with me.

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten December 2024

      The single supplement fee guarantees the tour departure even for one participant. That is why the price is more expensive. It would be great if you can find someone to join you on the tour. In regards to Gems of Albania, Kosovo & N. Macedonia from Tirana, this tour is one of our best selling so if you can check at a later stage we might have more confirm departures.
