What type of vehicles are used for transfer? I get car sick quite easily, especially in big buses, so I want to make sure I know what type of transport this tour offers. Secondly, what is the maximum number of people per tour, i.e. how many people would the three of us be travelling and touring with?

This is a private tour so we use private cars for the best comfort. As the tour is private, it will only be your party

How far in advance should I book the tour?

We are quite flexible so you can book even just a week before departure

It was an awesome trip exploring the Balkans with friends. Our tour guide, Skerdi, was an excellent host and very knowledgeable. We all learned a lot on this trip! The trip route was well organized, and we spent just the right amount of time at each location. I will definitely book through this company on my next visit to Albania and the Balkan region!
