I absolutely loved the trip, and it’s hard to identify a highlight! The hospitality of everyone was incredible. The food exceeded expectations everywhere we went. I really loved the guesthouses and feeling like we had an authentic Albanian experience. I loved learning about a variety of things such as nature, history and people. I loved our Guides, I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’m so sad it’s over!

I came to this tour with no expectations, I was just happy and excited to be doing this walk and meeting a new group of people. I think if you can have that mindset then you will be so impressed with your overall experience. This trip is designed so you do the highlights of the Balkans, meaning you get the skip the more ‘boring’ parts (I.e walking on long stretches of road) which leaves more time for socialising and exploring the better bits! I met some wonderful people and I’m very grateful for that. There are obvious benefits to doing your own trip or going privately, such as being able to walk at your own pace etc, but I would say the benefits of doing a tour like this greatly outweigh doing it by yourself. It is great value for money and you barely have to spend anything more than what you pay for the trip. Can’t recommend highly enough!
