    Keith

    Asked on October 21st, 2024

    I am looking at 6 to 13 April, 2025 dates. I am wondering if they are all guaranteed departure dates, and if not when would be the latest it would be cancelled.

    Tour Details
    • AjdinisOperator•Written October 2024

      Yes, these are guaranteed dates. If, for any reason, the tour needs to be canceled, we will inform the passengers at least 1 month in advance.

      Traveler•Written November 2024

      I am trying to finalize my dates for April 2025 and know that Easter is in the days I would like to travel. Does this affect itinerary in anyway as regards highlights being closed. I am looking at Balkan Ring tour from 13-20 April.

    • AjdinisOperator•Written November 2024

      We want to assure you that the itinerary will remain unchanged during the holiday, and we will cover all the tour highlights as planned.

      Keith

      Traveler•Written November 2024

      I am wanting to know if the hotel you use in Tirana is the same for all tours or does it change throughout the year? I recall reading somewhere it is the Albanopolis Hotel. I am just trying to plan where I would stay at the end of the tour for a few days in Tirana.

    • AjdinisOperator•Written November 2024

      It depends on availability, but 90% of the time we use the Albanopolis Hotel. We always prioritize selecting hotels in the city center.
