The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.

It’s a magical and mystical trip. Albania is quite a revelation to me because I have a different perspective of what it is. It’s nice and people are very hospitable like us. But Montenegro is one for the books! It’s perfectly a picture of beauty and elegance! So love it!!
