- Lyne· June 25th, 2022Wow!!! What a trip! Where to start? Everything was wonderful!!! The hosts and their food were all amazing, the places where we stayed were all better than I expected with hot showers, much nicer rooms than what I've seen elsewhere AND incredible views, Anton and Blendi did an awesome job (everything is ready when we need it: bus waiting for us at the time requested, rooms ready when we arrive, meals on time... everything runs really smoothly but we know behind the scene there's a lot of work to make this happen) and they're both very friendly, helpful and always making sure we have everything we want. We had a great group of people, lots of laugh, lots of raki, lots of sweat (but oh so worth it: I got over 800 photos to prove it!) 😉 And to top it off, flowers everywhere and couldn't have asked for better weather! As Anton would say "I was VERY IMPRESSED!" 😆 Would totally recommend this tour to any avid hikers! ❤️❤️❤️Show moreZbulo - Discover Albania commented on this reviewThanks for sharing Lyne! We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed the 12-day Peaks of the Balkans trekking with Anton and Blendi at the fullest. Sustainable tourism is the way forward for the Balkans and local communities.

Stuart
Asked on January 7th, 2025How much will we be required to carry on a daily basis? Just a day pack? Or all of my belongings?
- Zbulo - Discover AlbaniaOperator•Written January 2025
Luggage transport up to 15 kg per person in soft bags (duffels, rucksacks) is included in the tour price. You carry a daypack (20-35 liter range is recommended) and we transfer your main luggage from one accommodation to the next. As this is partly by horse, flight/suitcases are unsuitable. You may also store additional luggage at the first hotel of the trip, but should not forget to retrieve it upon return from the mountains.

Scott
Asked on August 6th, 2024I wonder if you have room for 1 more on the August trip? I could pay a premium if an additional guide is needed.
- Zbulo - Discover AlbaniaOperator•Written August 2024
I undestand that you're interested to join the 12-day Peaks of the Balkans. As you have noted the August 18-29 departure is booked out and while with two guides a larger group size would not be an issue guide-wise, we would prefer to respect the advertised maximum group size of 12 participants.
