    Tesi the guide was good. The only criticism I have is that she gave us too many options: when some people took one...

    Reply from: Explore!
    Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to hear you found Tesi to be a good guide. I appreciate your thoughtful comments—it's helpful to know that having too many options created some logistical challenges, and your suggestion about a clearer default plan makes a lot of sense. Noted also on the first day's hike; we’ll certainly reconsider the pacing in future itineraries, especially after long travel days. I'll also pass along your comments regarding the bus—both the air-conditioning issue and the slow journey on the last day—so we can look into improvements there as well. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

    Christina

    Asked on April 2nd, 2026

    We are a group of four people, with a 13 old kid, used to hike hard trails, since she was little. Is it possible to book the trip with her? If so, is there any possibility of an alternative date?

      No i am sorry the Walking Albania's Coastal Trails is not a Family trip and we only take passengers over the age of 16 years. We do have a Family Albania Adventure trip here.
