    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 ⭐️

    is the minimum room requirement 4 people? Or do couples have their own room?

    Accommodation

    • Go as Local OperatorWritten April 2025

      the minimum requirement is not for the number of rooms, but rather for the number of participants—the tour requires at least 4 people to proceed. Rooms can be private if preferred.

    Gina

    Asked on March 26th, 2025

    I am planning to go to Europe and would like to do one of your tours in the Balkans with my aunt. When trying to select the tour and add our information, was asking for a minimum of 4 people. Can you please assist me and let me know if there is another group going that we can join end of July or beginning of August.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Go as Local OperatorWritten March 2025

      The tour requires a minimum of four participants to be confirmed, and at the moment, you are the only two signed up. However, there's still plenty of time, which allows us the opportunity to offer your preferred start date to other travelers who may be interested. If no additional bookings are made, we would be happy to suggest alternative tours that we offer during that time. These include multi-day, multi-country tours covering three or even four countries.

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Is there any other tour in the Balkans that some people might have booked already. I am trying to plan ahead since we are coming from Costa Rica and need to purchase tickets, accomodations and others.

    • Go as Local OperatorWritten March 2025

      We do not have another Balkans tour scheduled for the exact dates you mentioned. However, we do have a 7-day tour of Albania, North Macedonia, and Kosovo starting on August 30th. Our 3-day tour of Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Montenegro is extremely popular, and we often have it fully booked. If we are unable to confirm your first-choice tour, we will be happy to offer several alternative options.

    • Go as Local OperatorWritten March 2025

      We also got a new booking for a 7-day tour of Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia on your exact starting date.

    • Go as Local OperatorWritten May 2025

      We don't have any devices for translation, but I can look into options for renting or purchasing one. I will also check if we can arrange a Spanish-speaking guide for your aunt. Spanish-speaking guides are quite rare in Albania, but we will try our best. In the worst-case scenario, would your group be comfortable with an English-speaking guide? The tour lasts 3 days, so we'll have enough time to speak slowly and ensure there's room for you to translate to your aunt.
