We did this tour as a family of five (with teenagers), and it was the absolute highlight of our trip to the Balkans! The itinerary was great for all ages – historical sites in Kruja and Shkoder kept the adults interested, while the hike to the Blue Eye and the boat ride on Komani Lake were big hits with the kids. Our guide was fantastic with everyone – super patient, full of knowledge, and great with suggestions for food and photo spots. The guesthouses were clean, charming, and family-friendly. We felt safe, relaxed, and fully taken care of the whole time. It’s not easy to please everyone on a family trip, but this tour did it. Highly recommended for families who want a mix of culture, nature, and light adventure!
