I have injured my knee but am still interested in seeing the sights in Albania. I can't climb steep stairs or do hikes or anything but I am thinking there would still be plenty to enjoy on this trip without a lot of walking. Is that a correct assumption?

To be completely honest with you, this specific tour involves a considerable amount of walking. The city visits, castle areas, and some of the main attractions require moving on foot, often on uneven surfaces or with steps, so it would be quite difficult to fully enjoy the experience without that level of mobility. Also, this is a shared group tour, which means we follow a fixed pace and schedule together with other travelers. Because of this, we're not able to adapt the itinerary or reduce the walking as needed for individual situations. For these reasons, we would not consider this tour ideal for you in your current condition. It might end up being uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. That said, we would be very happy to suggest a more suitable private option for you, with minimal walking and a more relaxed pace, so you can still enjoy Albania comfortably.

Do you have any confirmed bookings from middle November through the end of year (2025) that I could join as a single traveler?

  Are there many already on the tour starting the 7th? I really would prefer a shared group tour as enjoy being either other travelers (for a couple days. :) ) since I have been traveling solo for weeks. I really like this itinerary & am fine hanging out and having a tea or whatever while others explore more if that is a possibility. Would the 'relaxed' option still hit the same places?
- Local Friends AlbaniaOperator•Written May 2026
  At the moment, we don't have availability for the group tour starting on the 7th, as there are no other travelers booked yet for those dates.
  
  We completely understand your preference for a shared experience — it's always nicer when traveling solo.
  
  If anything changes, we'll let you know right away, or we can suggest alternative dates where a group is already confirmed.
