Is there any way you can organise international flights from Brisbane Australia to the starting destination of this tour, for 4 adults in the December period? Is it possible to include Florence Italy as a destination to learn about the Medici? Is the tour on the last day in Athens an included guided tour to all those landmarks you mentioned, or is it a self guided tour that we have to organise transport to all the landmarks?

Yes, the last day will be guided. As this is a group tour with others, there is no way to add Florence in the middle of the organized tour. We do not organize flights. This way you can book any flights that you prefer. Most travelers choose to land a day or two before the tour.

Jeffry Hoxha was our driver and guide for a 12 day exploration through Albania from cities to rural areas, north to south. We spent a lot of time with Jeffry and can honestly say that his excellent guiding and careful driving skills, warm and humorous personality and can-do attitude made the trip fabulous. He solved the small problems that naturally occur with patience and good humor. He was flexible and willing to accommodate us while staying within our trip itinerary. We became quite attached to Jeffry and feel that he made our trip. Albania is a beautiful country with warm, friendly people and we loved the rural areas especially. We learned so much about Albania's history and appreciate how it has changed since the fall of communism. This trip is highly recommended and be sure to go off the beaten path for a most enriching experience. And ask for Jeffry!Show more

Overall it was an enjoyable trip, our tour guide Rezi was outstanding. I believe you need to inform people in your description of the trip that it is quite physical the first few days, so 0-99 isn’t quite accurate. Could I also suggest that should you use the hotel in Berat that we stayed (beautiful) you recommend that people just take an overnight bag & leave heavy luggage in the minibus, it is almost vertical! The hotel you booked us into at the end of the trip, had no rooms, sent us to a 2nd, then a 3rd, finally we got a bed at the 4th hotel late & in the rain. Communication from Albania Inbound was sketchy at best.Show more
