I was part of a group to do the 12-day peaks of the balkans tour and had a fantastic experience. We had Aton as the main guide and Mirjeta as the assistant guide. They are both local to the region and fluent in multiple languages which made a huge difference in understanding the culture and history of the region, as well as communicating with the locals along the trek. The tour was very well organized, most of the guesthouses we stayed at were comfortable enough given the remote locations, the guides were knowledgeable and did a great job accommodating clients of different physical abilities and preferences.

We also came across many other hikers and groups along the trails that didn’t hire any guides, so it’s entirely possible to tackle this on your own. But if you don’t want to worry about logistics and navigation, and spending multiple days hiking with a group of strangers isn’t an issue for you, then going with Zbulo is highly recommended. I’ve made some good friends during the trip and will bring home memories that will be forever cherished.
