Excellent
Overall it was great. I think that in Albania it would be good to add in some beach time for the those whe want it. Maybe stay a night in Ksamil and make Butrint optional.
Excellent
This was such a wonderful way to experience the Balkans! There were so many included tours, meals, and private transportation that it really just made me feel spoiled. I love the mixture of city life and national park visits. There is about one week in every country which I felt was perfectly spaced out. I felt like the free time was spaced out well, so that it didn't feel too busy and I had a good amount of time to rest or do my own thing. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a deep dive into history with a side of nature.
Excellent
Great trip and itinerary, had many unique experiences !
Excellent
I am very satisfied with the services provided by G-Adventures on this trip. My expectations were met, and I enjoyed the trip much more than if I had travelled on my own.. Not everything went smoothly, but "adventure" is in the name. When things did not go smoothly, G-Adventures responses were appropriate.
