    Our Tour leader, Anna was great. She was very thoughtful, professional, friendly and capable. she was always very keen to assist. There were a couple of issues with the van which she dealt with -minimal fuss. We were given a different guide for our last day in Tirana which was disappointing. we were given good information in Albania but would have liked a guided tour in Delphi and Meteora monastery. accommodation was all very good and the recommendations for dining options were helpful.

    Confused on whether any meals are included with your tours, details have a red X next to meals, but reviews show 5 stars for food? Also, if some/all meals are included my wife requires gluten-free dietary options. If we wanted to extend our vacation in Croatia would your agency be able to add hotel, rental car, or private tour to other locations?
