    Gillian

    Asked on August 19th, 2025

    Are there any guaranteed departures in October where there are already others booked on the tour that I could join as a single traveler, so that I don't have to pay the single supplement/private tour price?

    Group size
    Single supplement
    • Albania Explorer DMCOperatorWritten August 2025

      We have guaranteed group for this particular tour on 03 OCT, 10 OCT, 17 OCT, 24 OCT & 31 OCT. Just to let you know the single supplement is a mandatory add-on for single travelers that wish to travel on shared tours.

    • G

      Gillian

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      Am I able to select the Group Price 6+ Pax = $1,850 option if I am a solo traveler? Does this option mean that I need to wait to hear if there are at least 6 people who sign up before I know if the tour will go ahead? What is the single supplement? How much is it? Is this to have my own room, or can I share a room with someone else?

    • Albania Explorer DMCOperatorWritten August 2025

      The group is ok and you can pay based on 6 pax. As for the single room supplement, it means you will be sleeping in single rooms for the whole trip duration.

    Cindy

    Asked on May 25th, 2025

    Have no date in mind but wondered if you offer room share with another single (female) traveller if available? If not, what is the cost for single supplement?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Albania Explorer DMCOperatorWritten May 2025

      Sorry we cannot interfere to find another lady to share the room. The extra for single supplement vary from 250€~450€ (july/august) and only if you pay cash Upon arrival. As well you can choose to have shorter tour like 7 nights /8 days, to make it 2 days less than the group. And pay less single supplement.

    • C

      Cindy

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      Many other tour companies will offer a room share if both parties agree. I do not think it is 'interference'. Has no one else ever asked for this? If I cut the trip short, what sites and activities will be missed?

    • Albania Explorer DMCOperatorWritten May 2025

      After pandemic the single rooms are more common rather than sharing. If you will cut the tour like this you will miss Eastern part of Albania cities like: Permet, Korce, Pogradec and Elbasan. But on our experience 7 nights / 8 day tour is the best seller including all must to see and visit sites and cities in Albania.
