I really enjoyed the trip, especially the group was great (you can't influence that...). The tour guide Renata was especially great, because her information during the bus trip and on site was really great, and her enthusiasm for the work in Abania immediately spread to the whole group. I will definitely recommend Tourradar and SKR to others. There are also countries that are still worth a trip/tour for me, such as Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia...Show more
