      Thank you for your response; that will not work as I only have time of during the first couple weeks of July, not the last weeks of it

    • Albania Explorer DMCOperatorWritten June 2024

      We can offer a private tour for the given period if ok?

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      I am currently waiting for another tour to confirm; I will probably know by Friday June 7. In case that does not confirm, what is the price of a private tour? In my experience, a private may cost more than what I budgeted, but I would like to know just in case it does not.
