Armir was a Good guide. Mostly great hotels. The vehicles the guide drove could have been cleaner. Lovely country. Food tour with Markel was terrific. He was a gem.
Albania, Kosovo & N. Macedonia; Semi – Private Tour with Dedicated Tour Leader & CarIt’s so lovely having everything organised for you- all we had to do was show up. The selection of guesthouses was great, and the transportation was also good. Brikena was very responsive on WhatsApp and checked in with us daily.
Self-Guided Hiking Tour: Theth National Park, Valbona Valley & Koman Lake in 3 DaysI had an excellent trip to last year to the Wine Fight in Spain, i was a solo traveler but i met so many cool people which i enjoyed my trip with. I upgraded to the glamping option, which gave me some luxury at the campsite i could not recommend this enough. Guides helped get the party started and meals were great and would recommend adding the booze option for £10 per day.

What our customers ask about Camping Tours & Trips in Europe
When is the best time for camping in Europe to avoid crowds and bad weather?
For the best camping experience in Europe head out during May-June or September-October. These months offer a sweet spot of mild weather and fewer tourists.

September brings excellent conditions to the Basque Country coinciding with the wine harvest. The Mediterranean coast stays warm enough for comfortable camping through October. A TourRadar traveler shares: "We went camping in June and the weather was perfect - warm days for outdoor activities and cool nights for comfortable sleeping plus we avoided the July-August tourist crowds."
What type of camping accommodations can I expect on a European camping tour?

Popular spots like Camping Les Marmottes in Les Bossons and Camping le Pontet in Les Contamines come equipped with modern conveniences: hot showers electric hookups bars and internet access. Guests stay in roomy 3-person dome tents (used for 2 people) featuring sewn-in groundsheets and covered entrance areas.

How challenging are camping tours in Europe?

Iceland's Laugavegur Trail features 4-6 hour daily treks across volcanic landscapes. A TourRadar traveler explains: "The walking is demanding so as the grade says it is challenging. It's rather like going up Ben Nevis everyday but with lots of fab views and camping adds another dimension of adventure."
What facilities are available at European campsites?
European campsites typically offer comprehensive amenities. Camping Les Rocailles in Champex-Lac features hot showers power points laundry facilities shared cooking spaces and WiFi. Remote locations like Theth National Park provide basic but adequate facilities. A TourRadar traveler reports: "Most campsites were excellent with very good facilities though mountain sites were more basic but had incredible views to compensate."
How do I manage luggage and valuables while camping in Europe?
Support vehicles handle main luggage transport between locations on most European camping tours such as the Tour du Mont Blanc where hikers carry only daypacks.
