What people love about touring Mediterranean solo
We had a fabulous trip led by Toni, our safe driver and fountain of knowledge about the Balkan countries. Highlights were Sarajevo, Prizren, Skoder, Ohrid, and Berat. He was flexible and allowed us to modify the itinerary to suit our interests. Also, had fantastic support by Sirma from the Tirana office who was great with logistics, payment, and answered all of my questions. Highly recommend this trip, Toni as guide, and Sirma for support.

- Rome to Athens / Corfu; Semi – Private Tour with Dedicated Tour Leader & Car
We took this tour on September 1st, 2024 with Erikson M., who was an AMAZING guide. He took really great care of us while showing us everything the beautiful Struga and Ohrid had to offer. I appreciated experiencing the beach feel of one city juxtaposed to the historical focal points of the next city the most about this tour. It is roughly a 12 hour day and Erikson showed our group a lot of patience during it all. He encouraged bathroom stops, snacks, provided clear and concise instructions, and was an extremely safe driver. For future patrons, eat a large breakfast and bring a snack because we did not eat "lunch" until about 1500. Also, on the way to N. Macecedonia, you stop at this gorgeous rest stop to try an alcoholic drink called "raki" and you'll definitely want to have something in your belly before it. LOL! Erik, thank you so much again and best of luck to you in your future endeavors!
