    Excellent. Maximum use of time - 12 to 14 hour days -- for each of the 3 expensive days was ideal for me. Tour guide / driver was courteous to clients and 3rd parties. Cleverly accommodated the three mobile, younger clients and the 2 slower, older clients during walking tours. Very knowledgeable guide -- took us on a better walking tour of Orchid than a previous tour that I took with another tour company a week earlier.

    Engjell, my guide, was great! He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited in prizren and pristina and gave very interesting insights and thoughts about what happened historically in the region! He even gave me some tips for future trips that I was planning in the Balkans. 11/10 6/5 ⭐️

    Asked on April 27th, 2025

    Is it possible to join the tour in Theth rather than Tirane, as I am coming from Shkoder?

    • Go as Local Operator•Written April 2025

      The tour is possible to start from Theth. It is a group tour and requires a minimum number of participants. As of now, you are the only one interested in the exact starting date, but if you confirm your interest, we can start suggesting the tour to others and form a group as soon as possible.

      Gail

      Traveler•Written April 2025

      I am slightly flexible on dates, I can start the tour anywhere between the 27th August - 31st August. If there are any other participants interested in starting on those dates I am happy to join then.

    • Go as Local Operator•Written April 2025

      Would you be open to joining a 6-day or 8-day version of the Peaks of the Balkans tour? These versions are more popular, although we will still suggest the original itinerary first.
