“This was a very well planned and a guided tour. I took this day trip from Tirana with my partner. The tour operator informed us about our hotel pickup time well in advance. Elton, our tour guide, was very punctual. Elton is an excellent driver and a guide. He showed us all the lovely stops en route North Macedonia. He stopped at photogenic locations and helped us click some of the best pictures. Elton helped us navigate through the old town and shared brief history of the scenic locations. Overall, it was a very well planned and well executed day trip.”

“We had our trip with Gentjan to enjoy the magnificent view of Montenegro. Our journey from Shkoder to Budva and Kotor was truly magical. Thanks to this travel guide, it led us to charming towns and stunning view, making every moment unforgettable. I highly recommend this guide for anyone wanting to experience the best of Montenegro.”

“Excellent tour and wonderful day, everything went smoothly despite the wind and rain. Enrid was a great guide”

“Altin was a great tour guide. He took me to see the Berat castle, museums and we had a very tasty authentic Albanian lunch in Berat. I learned a lot about local culture and the country history.”

“Elton was very knowledgeable and it made for an enjoyable day. One in our group uses a cane, and he went out of his way to be accommodating, adjusting the walking and climbing to suit our needs. He gave us a great history of Albania and Kosovo, touching on many of the historical periods. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.”

“The team at Choose Balkans kept in touch with us right from the moment we booked the tour to the day of our tour and answered all our questions promptly. We had a great trip with our tour guide Arian. The time and route were very well planned to fit within a day trip. Our tour guide was a thorough gentleman who made our trip even more enjoyable and memorable.”

“Vielen Dank einen meinen Chauffeur Taulant für diese wunderschöne Tour!! Man ist zwar lange im Auto unterwegs aber es lohnt sich!! Ich habe in Durres gewohnt und wollte unbedingt den Süden sehen! Traumhaft 😍”

“Lovely place to hike in! Really enjoyed it, great organisation in accommodating the pick and drop off too :)”

“This day trip to Montenegro is worth it. Kotor and Budva are beautiful coastal villages and a must see. Even the drive is scenic and relaxing. My guide Skerdi showed me a good place for lunch and I absolutely love it.”

“This was an amazing experience! I was traveling on my own and the pace of the day accommodated my interests and comfort. The route to Gjirokaster was spectacularly scenic! After an opportunity to enjoy the fort, we continued to Butrint. In the exploration of these two locations, Albania's rich history was presented by my driver/guide. When I wasn't learning about the sites, I was given the chance to ask about more current history and was offered insight into the experience of Albanians today. We lunched in Saranda and headed back to Tirana along the Albanian Riviera as the sun set. Wonderful locations and conversations.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our trip in Albania in 4 days. Not only did we learn about Albania’s history, culture and cuisine but also enjoyed scenery of beautiful mountains and riviera coast. Skerdi was very knowledgeable and accommodated us well. Highly recommend this tour.”

“The windows were down which helped but the ride was rather hot without AC on in the car. The driver was friendly and met me in the lobby and handled my baggage well.”

“We had a great day with Henri. He was very flexible and adapting the tour based on what we were most interested in (e.g. whether we drove or walked up the mountain, and whether we wanted a guided tour of Kruje or a bit of freedom). After picking us up from our apartment at a time of our choice, we started the drive, and Henri told us about Tirana. We saw the amazing view at Bovilla Lake and we had plenty of time to explore the summit and take in the views over a coffee. Then we went to Kruje where we also had time to explore. Everything was booked…”

“Ardit provided me with an exceptional experience during my tour to Kruja and Durres. From the on time pick up at my hotel to the thoughtful recommendations for the top sites to visit in Tirana plus restaurant and neighborhood recommendations. Kruja castle complex and the museum were a highlight. Ardit spoke about the history and key events in the area prior to entering the museum and lead me through the museum pointing out areas and artifacts that complemented our discussion as well as answering all of my questions. Durrës is beautiful! We visited the archaeological sites there and then had a lovely walk along the sea. Truly a wonderful day…”

“Not only was this tour incredible but the tour company were also absolutely amazing! Due to a very last minute change in circumstances, I wasn't able to attend my original scheduled tour. The company was understanding, empathetic and assisted in re-arranging for another date without a fuss - spectacular customer service!! The tour itself covered the key highlights of Prizren and Prishtina and the tour guide provided a lot of interesting information about the smallest country of the Balkans. Highly recommend this tour!”
