      TravelerWritten June 2026

      We are planning our first tour departure within this month. Our groups typically consist of approximately 35–40 participants. As an Islamic and conservative travel company, our primary focus is on providing travel experiences that align with the values and expectations of our clients. Therefore, we are particularly interested in tour programs that emphasize cultural heritage, local traditions, history, and family-friendly experiences within a respectful and comfortable environment.

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten June 2026

      Based on the preferences of your clients, we would recommend one of our best-selling tours: Pearls of Albania; Tour with Dedicated Tour Leader & Car. This program focuses on Albania's rich cultural heritage, local traditions, UNESCO sites, natural beauty, authentic experiences, and family-friendly, making it very suitable for Islamic groups. Price: 1400 Euro / Person based on twin, double, triple, or quadruple room occupancy in 3-star hotels. Single room supplement: 438 Euro / person. Included: Accommodation and Breakfast for all overnights in 3 stars hotel, Private transport provided by the company, Professional tour leader, Hotel pick up, Entry tickets for the sites visited, Tourist taxes, Road taxes, Petrol. Excluded: Lunches, Dinners, Drinks & Snacks, Souvenirs, Personal spending, Everything that is not mentioned in the included. We have very experienced tour leaders who have previously guided Islamic groups and understand the expectations and requirements of Muslim travelers. As your departure is planned within this month, please note that this is quite last minute, especially for a group of 35–40 participants. We would therefore need to move quickly with reservations in order to secure accommodation, transport, and guides. In some smaller towns or destinations, should availability become limited, the group may need to be accommodated in two nearby hotels.

      It appears that most flights get in about 11 PM into Tarina, can you recommend a mid priced hotel for the first night coming in that late?
      Do any of the hotels have a free shuttle from the airport?

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten December 2025

      Mid April is a very good time to visit Albania with pleasant weather. Flying into Tirana at that time works perfectly.The tour starts every day, so you can choose the date that best fits your group's plans. For clothing, we recommend comfortable, casual layers suitable for mild spring weather. Comfortable walking shoes are important. Both small suitcases (trolly) and backpacks are fine to bring.

      What is the discounted price for eight people and the 12% discount on Saturday, does that mean that if we start the tour on a Saturday we get the 12% discount?

      I'm assuming that if we get a hotel in town, you will pick us up on the day of the tour?


      What kind of deposit will you need and when is the balance due?

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten December 2025

      A 50% deposit is required to confirm the booking. The remaining balance is due 60 before the start of the tour.

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten December 2025

      Saturday Discount, Yes, the 12% discount applies when the tour starts on a Saturday. With the Saturday discount applied, the prices would be:
      Group of 8+ people: 1400 Euro / Person – 12% = 1232 Euro / Person
      Group of 2–7 people: 1750 Euro / Person – 12% = 1540 Euro / Person

      Hotel Pick-Up: If you stay at a hotel in town, we will pick you up directly from your accommodation on the day of the tour.

      Deposit & Payment: A 50% deposit is required to confirm the booking. The remaining balance is due 60 before the start of the tour.

      The deposit and time to pay the balance seems a little bit different from the other tour guides that I've contacted. One is offering 10% deposit and balance in 30 days. Is that something you can match?

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten January 2026

      Regarding the payment terms, the maximum flexibility we can offer is a 30% deposit to confirm the booking. Our standard policy is a 50% deposit, which helps us maintain the high reputation we have built over the years. We pay hotels, guides, transportation, and other services well in advance to secure availability and guarantee the best possible experience for our guests. The remaining balance would be due 60 days prior to departure, which is a firm policy.

    Do you have any dates where at least one other person is confirmed, that I could join another group? Is there a chance for room share? If not, how much is the single supplement?
