  Asked on July 2nd, 2025

  I wanted to know whether luggage transfer is possible between each hike in the 5 day self guided albania trek package (even if it's for an additional fee).

    Luggage transfer is only needed on the third day for the hiking part from Theth to Valbona. On the other days, you will be staying at the same guesthouse, so no transfer is necessary. The luggage transfer on the third day will cost €110 for both of you.

    Would it be okay for us to carry standard suitcases (and a 'day backpack')? Would we be able to book the luggage transfer through you as well? Is that 110 euro total or 110 euro each?

    You can carry a light backpack with you during the hike, which is useful for items like water, picnic lunch, and personal essentials. The total luggage allowance is 25–30 kg. The cost of luggage transport is €110 in total (for both of you). The transport is done by mule, which does not follow the same path as you. On Day 3, your bags will be transported directly to the next guesthouse.

  I have two questions: - I can book a flight on Sept 5 @ 20.10 departure; will I make it for an on-time departure? - there's a 10% booking discount today but it was not applied to my booking; how come?

    The group usually returns to Tirana in the late afternoon, around 19:30, depending on traffic and road conditions. Since this timing can vary, we recommend booking your departure flight at least one day later to ensure a smooth and stress-free connection. Your reservation was made via Bookatrekking.com on January 28, 2025, and we have noted that Guy also requested an add-on for an additional participant. Please note that the 10% discount you mentioned is a promotion available only for bookings made directly through our official website, and unfortunately does not apply to reservations made through third-party platforms.

  Asked on October 15th, 2024

  I am wondering how it makes a difference that this trip is 'self-guided'. Will there still be a group that you can walk with?

    Choose BalkansOperator•Written October 2024

    With the Self Guided hike, you will hike independently however of course there will be other hikers around in the Alps. We would not organise a group from our behalf though you are welcome to make friends along the way once there.
