    Reply from: Local Friends Albania
    Thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad to hear that overall you had a very good tour and that you appreciated the work of your guide. Regarding the additional amount requested, we fully understand your concern. This is not part of our normal practice, and it was only asked due to the current fuel situation and the euro exchange rate reaching very difficult levels, which we could not predict at the time the tour was booked. We also tried to make it clear that this extra amount was not obligatory, but only a suggested supplement under the circumstances. Regarding the hotel in Kosovo, this was Hotel Kacinari, a 4-star hotel where we usually receive very good service for our guests. We are sorry to hear that your experience there did not meet expectations. We will investigate this with our local partner and make sure it does not happen again. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing to travel with us.

    Chelsea

    Asked on April 18th, 2025

    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?
