Balkans Local boat rides Trips

Lovely trip to the Albanian Alps and lucky to have a great bunch of people in the group too. The treks were correctly graded at moderate. A good level of fitness and confidence walking on uneven terrain is needed. Accommodation was basic but better than I had anticipated. Albi was a great guide, who had to juggle the capabilities of quite a diverse group. He needs new jokes though ;-) Transport to and from guesthouses wasn’t always great. We didn’t always have working seat belts and one occasion there wasn’t evening seats for everyone. If eating in the evening as a group with vegetarians/intolerances, I’d recommend steering away from fixed menus as they really aren’t catered for. The individuals are left with basically a veggie soup and salad ending up being relatively expensive for what they had.

Doing the Total Thailand tour I saw and learnt more about the country than I could ever have done as a solo traveller. Travelling as a group I have made friends for life and developed my confidence in going out to see the world on my own. I would recommend any tour with the team to my family and friends.

An awesome variety of Great Wall walking - the best part of the trip. Challenging at times but more than doable for the moderately fit. Fantastic to get away from the usual busy parts of the wall and have the chance to get away from it all. Spectacular!

A fantastic week immersed in the remote mountains and valleys of northern Albania. Our leader, Albi, was passionate about all aspects of local geography and history, and the walks were enhanced by his entertaining stories and insights along the way.

Another fabulous trip. Albania was really beautiful. The food was really good, and very healthy. The group were lovely, and tour leader excellent. I would highly recommend the trip. (The hiking is challenging at times if you have any fear of heights though.) Overall an excellent trip.😊

Bali is absolutely lovely and this experience made it even more special. Our guide, was amazing – patient, knowledgeable, and so encouraging. I went scuba diving for the first time, and it was unforgettable! The whole team made me feel comfortable and safe, and once we got in the water, it was like a whole new world opened up. Everything was well-organized and the day felt smooth from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to diving, and I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Bali!
