During this tour you will visit some of the most important tourist destinations in Montenegro, Albania, N. Macedonia and Kosovo. Walk through the narrowed streets of UNESCO-city Berat and admire the beauty of the UNESCO world heritage site of Ohrid on this 8-day tour. This small group tour (up to eight participants) offers the opportunity to get the best out of these 5 unique countries in a short period of time.

My friend and I (2 American women) planned this tour to celebrate our New Year’s Holiday and had an amazing time!
We booked the small group option, but since no one else booked for our dates, we had a private tour experience for the entire trip.
Our guide Almir was the sweetest and taught us so much about the food and culture of the region. He also made sure all border crossings went smoothly.
We were driven in a 2023 luxury electric vehicle and stayed in very nice hotels or apartments, which included breakfast. The days consisted of driving to various historical sites around the region and enjoying delicious restaurants. My highlights were learning traditional Albanian dances on a beach, riding the ferry across Kotor Bay in Montenegro (gorgeous), eating baklava, and checking out the secret military bunker museum (only made public in 2016).
This was not a physically taxing tour, and would be great for participants of any age. Be prepared, though, for lengthy car rides between cities. It was good rest time for us, however; and we passed the time jamming to our favorite music.
Also, if you travel in December / January, plan for mild weather 50-60* Fahrenheit, occasional drizzles, and short lines given you’ll be traveling off season.
Thank you so much Choose Balkans and Almir for taking me and my friend on such a fantastic adventure!

We did this 8-day, 5 country tour between October 31 and November 7, 2023. Had a fabulous experience, visiting places that not many Americans witness. Our guide Toni was both our driver and history teacher, letting us know about the religion, culture, and economics of the Balkans. He was a good driver and flexible in his itinerary allowing us to change places and times along the route. Finally, Sirma at Choose Balkans in the Tirana office was great in handling all of our logistics and payments. Kudos to all and highly recommended Choose Balkans!

What an excellent tour for a nice price. I was little concerning about the rooms because I had no idea where we were going but every single room turned out to be beautiful with excellent staff. I enjoyed the kindness and patience of our guide. He explained everything concerning the places we went with a nice sense of humor at each stop to keep us happy. I will definitely be using Choose Balkans again.
