Do you have availability for one person on the tour departing Bucharest on4th October please? Is breakfast and any other meals included in the price? What grade are the hotels please?

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day hiking tour! Spectacular views, great hospitality, interesting people, intense but doable hiking and such an enjoyable experience. Best of all was our wonderful guide Allbi. His knowledge of the area, the history of Albania, the current Albania, his connections with the people and his expertise hiking skills, made our trip the best part of our time in Albania. We would definitely recommend this company and trip!

  We do not have dates yet but we're thinking about going in August or September 2025. We plan to just come in for this tour so likely stay somewhere the day we get in and will spend a night after the tour ends but we still need to find where.
