Albania's white-walled hilltop towns, North Macedonia's vineyard-fringed valleys and Kosovo's layered old cities are each worth the journey alone.

Albania Explorer Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer Albania tours
Tara K | Traveled in September
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.
Angelica G | Traveled in August
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.
Ben P | Traveled in August
An amazing journey around just two of the Balkans with a chance to discover their amazing cultural and political history. Needless to say, the landscapes are incredible and vary massively as you cross the country. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learnt as much as they can about this spectacular region in a relatively short amount of time.
Deborah D | Traveled in August
