Tirana Food tours 2018/2019

“This trip covers parts of Serbia, Macedonia and Albania. You see a variety of different places, including the capital cities of Belgrade, Skopje and Tirana, the hills / mountains in Serbia, beautiful Lake Ohrid, and many ancient and old sites ranging from Roman to Ottoman to relics from Albania's communist past. There are some beautiful places to see.”

“This was my first trip to the Balkans and it was a good introduction to this misunderstood area. From great cities to great landscapes! We saw it all! I hope to return very soon.”

“A very enjoyable trip to 3 countries. i think the day in Bosnia Herzogovina (lunch, train ride, bridge over the River Drina and film director's villages) was not necessary and the time could have been better spent elsewhere. the rest of the trip was very good and varied.”

“Trip to former Yugoslavia (Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia) and Albania. These are countries I had on my radar to visit but all the research I did revealed that they were not easy to get to so this trip was perfect.”

“This is a really enjoyable, varied trip that gives a great introduction to three interesting countries (and a brief sojourn into Bosnia) encompassing history, beautiful scenery, and the hustle and bustle of the capital cities thrown in for good measure. There are a number of longish drives, but to see so much in 11 days I guess this can't really be avoided”

“Snowshoeing in Albania was excellent. Blue skies led to some stunning images of snow of the Valbone valley and surrounding mountains. Snowshoeing was good with local information about each area was very informative.Lots of happy people ready to help ensure our holiday was fantastic.”

“A fascinating trip combining beautiful mountain scenery but also a unique insight into the cultural and political world of the Balkans.”

“The trip is really well organised, and the tour leader is clearly an expert in running this kind of thing. The views experienced during the snow walks are breathtaking, and are definitely worth the sometimes long ascents. Oddly when booking the trip I worried that there may not be enough walking - but I assure you there is! The hotels are all really good - even the 'standard' and 'basic' ones were significantly better than I imagined.”

“An excellent trip to a very beautiful and unspoilt part of Europe; stunning landscape, delicious food and very friendly people. The holiday is a good blend of mountain activity and sightseeing enhanced by a very knowledgeable guide with seeming unlimited patience. For people who enjoy the less usual and love being in the mountains this holiday is ideal.”
