    Kevin

    Asked on October 10th, 2025

    I am planning one (or 2) of your tips next year. I wil be travelling alone and was hoping you could recommend which would be most suitable for solo travel (Ie the most popular so guaranteed departure) Also could I do 2 tours back to back? If so which would tyoiur recommend so they dont visit the same places.

      Kevin

      Traveler•Written October 2025

      The 2 trips I would be interested in are Coast to Country and Taste of Albania. Are both available for a Solo traveller back to back? maybe a day off in between?

    • Up AlbaniaOperator•Written October 2025

      Both Coast to Country and Taste of Albania can be done back-to-back, with a day off in between if you prefer. These tours are ideal for solo travellers who'd like to join a small mixed group, as they are both guided shared experiences. The Timeless Albania: Coast to Countryside tour is an excellent choice if it's your first time visiting Albania — it covers the main highlights from north to south and along the coast. We recommend the 13 June 2026 departure, which is already guaranteed and guided in English.
