What people love about touring Mediterranean solo
- Dubrovnik to Tirana; Semi – Private Tour with Dedicated Tour Leader & Car
Taking the local food experience walking tour of Tirana was a truly delightful adventure. From start to finish, this tour was a culinary journey filled with delicious discoveries. Our informative tour guide was not only passionate about the local cuisine but also a treasure trove of knowledge about Tirana's history and culture. They made the experience all the more enriching by sharing fascinating stories along the way.
- 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!
- Athens to Rome; Semi – Private Tour with Dedicated Tour Leader & Car
The trip was incredible! Albania is a beautiful country, but the experience would not have been half as memorable if it were not for Choose Balkans and our tour guide. He was very friendly, flexible, patient, and extremely efficient. Great scenery of seaside and south of Albania.
