I had a great time. On this type of trips, everything stands or falls with the guide. I can only speak highly of Xhulio, who did not only perform an excellent job, but his erudition about the Balkan history, it’s political, socio-economical, cultural situation and all sort of issues was simply overwhelming. The result was that we did chat and laugh and shared opinions, points of view and emotions the whole trip, thus killing time on long distances in a very enjoyable way. Grazie mille! Wim

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.

  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.
