- NNeeraj· July 31st, 2025Would strongly recommend Brikena and Choose Balkans. Everything was organised for us and Brikena was very responsive throughout our trip whenever we had any enquiries. Overall hiking in this region was absolutely stunning. The guesthouses were really nice too, a very authentic way to spend our time in Albania.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
- KVKhushaal· July 31st, 2025This was an excellent tour with very helpful and responsive staff. Brikena in particular was amazing. She regularly checked in on us and also went out of her way to have some gear we had left behind returned to us. The itinerary itself is wonderful - memorable hikes. The guest houses are comfortable and with spectacular views and having the transport logistics all taken care of is immensely helpful. I highly recommend this tour for any hikers keen on an independent experience but want to reduce the stress of arranging all the logistics. Thanks again to Tour Radar, Choose Balkans and Brikena!Show moreTrip date: July 2025

- VVera· September 19th, 2024The tour takes you past some of the most stunning parts of north Albania, it was gorgeous and the guesthouses we stayed at were small and welcoming. The food was really good too (dinner is not included, but available at the guesthouses we stayed in). The self-guided hiking tour was well organized, all we had to do was walk ;). Our tour operator (Brikena) made some changes during our trip, which were always discussed before. Because of that, the tour was far more convenient than having to schedule everything yourself, additionally, we had a short private boat trip which was really funShow moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Vera, it is so wonderful to see you enjoyed this beautiful part of the world with our help on your Self-Guided tour!

I'd like to thank Choose Balkans' team and Brikena specifically because of their assistance and kindness before, during and after the tour. We felt really comfortable with them. The whole experience couldn't be better: the hikes and the amazing places we discovered, the accommodation, people we met...
