Balkans Best 15-Day Group Tour: Dubrovnik to Athens

Io e mia moglie abbiamo fatto il tour dal 13 al 25/8/2018 con guida parlante italiano (ottima, professionale, disponibile, gentile. Perfetta!!). Bei posti e paesaggi partendo da Tirana- Berat - Tushemisht -Rehove (presso una famiglia: esperienza stupenda)- Gjirokaster bella cittadina con il suo meraviglioso castello - Sarande città marina molto vivace! -Himare dove abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti, sempre al mare ma cittadina molto più tranquilla -Vlore -Kruje (stupenda sia per il posto che per l'hotel) e per finire nuovamente a Tirana dove abnbiamo gironzolato per la città e visitato musei ed altro

El proceso para acordar el itinerario fue muy sencillo y muy cómodo. Allí fue todo correcto y contamos con la ayuda de la agencia para cualquier incidencia. Si es verdad que el calor causó algún estrago pero en general disfrutamos bastante del viaje.

Le persone che abbiamo incontrato sono state tutte amichevoli e disponibili. Gli hotel sono stati mediamente di buon livello, tranne a Saranda dove, pur essendo un bel hotel era troppo rumoroso. A posteriori avremmo soggiornato un solo giorno a Saranda e avremmo scelto delle località più a nord per le ultime notti, dove le spiagge erano più accessibili. Gli hotel avevano sempre il parcheggio ed erano comodi a livello logistico. L'Albania è un Paese bellissimo, ma a rischio di overtourism incontrollato. La costruzione di resort e strutture turistiche senza una adeguata pianificazione territoriale inizia già a rovinare un territorio meraviglioso e a riempirlo di rifiuti. Speriamo che i giovani sappiano accorgersi in tempo come sta facendo il movimento dei fenicotteri.

La nostra organitzadora local,la Donald ha sigut excel.lent. Amable, organitzada i molt sincera en els consells. Recomano viatjar a Albània I contactar amb la Vilma. El xofer-guia encantador,servicial i ens va introduir a la vida del pais. En Ledio un molt bon guia.

Un' Albania da scoprire, montagne assomiglianti alle dolomiti, mare stupendo...peccato x la speculazioni edilizia e che siano in mano a gente senza scrupoli. Siti archeologici molto ben tenuti e con guide del posto competenti

Nach einem etwas holprigen Start konnten wir unsere Reise so wie geplant durchführen. Wir hatten tolle Hotels und alles war gut organisiert. Mit Ivy hatten wir einen Guide, wie man ihn sich nur wünschen kann. Das Land und die Menschen haben uns sehr beeindruckt.

I joined this as a solo traveler in a small group. It was perfectly organized. I loved the balance of expert-led heritage walks in places like Dubrovnik and Kotor with free time to wander on our own. The group dinners with authentic food moments from farm kitchens, were a great way to bond. This is a fantastic option if you want a social but comfortable travel experience.

The selection was really good for all the aspects of the trip and Tea with Mira were there all the time for anything that we needed . I recommend this tour!

Organisation perfekt, alle individuellen Wünsche wurden eingearbeitet - Herzlichen Dank an SARA !

I booked this trip for my clients and they loved it, will book again in the future and if time allows it I will also join.

We had a nice time. Some places are not ready for tourists and the service was average. Inalb agents were helpful all the time.

My wife and I chose the self drive option and it was the best decision for us. The car was great, and having the freedom to stop wherever we wanted. What made it perfect was arriving in a complex city like Sarajevo and having a wonderful local guide waiting for us to show us the Baščaršija and the Tunnel Museum. All our hotels were booked, one great meal a day was included, and the local support team was always a quick text away. It was the ideal mix of a road trip and a guided tour.

We liked every place we visited and everything was unique. We are happy we did this tour with Mira.

Muy fácil la comunicación la agencia, responden a tus peticiones y muy bien organizado . La guía espectacular, y también el chófer

Mi experiencia con Inalb ha sido muy buena. No hubo contratiempos y tenían muy controlado cuando nos tenían que recoger de cada hotel. Fueron muy amables y atentos y nuestra guía muy profesional, nos explicó muchísimas cosas y fue muy paciente con todas nuestras preguntas. Cuando llegábamos a un hotel, nos acompañaba y hablaba con recepción para asegurar que la habitación estaba preparada y se quedaba hasta la entrega de las llaves. En los restaurantes lo mismo. Sin duda la recomiendo.

Wir gesagt, ein schönes Land Albanien, noch sehr im Umbruch. Wir würden wieder hinfahren, diesmal dann den Norden bereisen.

Esperienza da fare almeno una volta. Valutare bene le compagnie aeree in base alle loro basi (x limitare il rischio di annullamento volo) Mare, cibo e cultura: di tutto un po'

Die Reise mit dem Auto war hervorragend ,genauso wie der Chauffeur

Con la agencia todo muy bien, buena atención, la recomiendo para organizar un viaje en el país

Nice trip!

We liked our trip, we would prefer a more powerfull car for such a long tour , an ecofriendly Kia is good yes but maybe something more powerfull could make the trip better.

Comfortable, well paced and fascinating

My wife and I are in our 60s and were looking for a cultural trip that wasn't too strenuous. This was perfect. The label 'rich yet relaxed' is very accurate. There was plenty of walking, but it was always manageable, and there was always time to just sit at a cafe and soak in the atmosphere. Having the private airport pickup and a guide to handle all the details made it completely worry-free. We could just focus on the incredible sights.

Everything was good , some places deserved a seccond day!

We would like have had a couple more days in some places and some others like Prizren are not worth spending a night.

Will book again

I booked this trip for my clients and they loved it, will book again in the furture and if time allows it I will also join.

Smooth from start to finish

Everything was coordinated perfectly. Transfers, activities and guides were always on time. I really appreciated the responsiveness of the local team.

Overall it was a special experience

We had a nice time, some places are not ready for tourists and they had avarage service. Inalb agents were helpfull all the time

We loved it

Me and my family travel a lot and we have never been to Balkans , we have been in Greece bit not in the northern part. I can say it was one of our favourite trips.

Beautiful trip and helpfull agents

The selection was really good for all the aspects of the trip and Tea with Mira were there all the time for anything that we needed . I reccommend this tour!

I liked every day

Every day was a new place and aa new thing. Logistics were on point. We had to change cars 3 times but it makes sense since it would be hard for the team to take the a car from Thesalomniki back to Croatia .

We had a great experience with Inalb

Well planned and well thught from start to finish.

Don't miss the hidden gems!

Everyone knows about Dubrovnik and Kotor, but the real magic of this tour was in the hidden treasures. The unique ex military base agrotourism experience and dinner on the first night was unforgettable. I loved exploring Počitelj, the charming Ottoman era town and the Berat Castle. This itinerary is so well planed because it balances the iconic landmarks with these special less visited places.

Small issue handled perfectly.

We had a small issue where a planned restaurant was unexpectedly closed and some similar incidents. I messaged Donald and within 15 minutes, they had arranged a fantastic alternative for our included meal. This is what you pay for responsive, professional service. It showed us they genuinely cared about our experience.

Balkans was more beautifull that I imagined

This was my first time in this part of Europe, and wow! This tour is the perfect introduction. I couldn't believe the diversity, from the vibrant city of Tirana to the breathtaking Tara River Canyon, Europe's deepest gorge. The included meals were a fantastic way to try local food, especially the renowned meal at Mrizi i Zanave. Having a driver guide for some of our days made crossing the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina easy. We tried the Balkan breakfast and the trend is that, just a trend :D

Extensive itinerary covering all main attractions and beautiful landscapes from Albanian Alps, rivers, villages, castles down to turquoise waters and beaches. Programme maybe a bit too packed. Would have preferred to do the trip in 12 days and to have more time to stroll around on my own. Our guide/driver Ergi was outstanding, friendly and always with a smile despite annoying and stingy fellow travellers in our group. He made my day on every single day of the trip. He was very professional and provided us with information on historical and archaeological sites and shared interesting insights of his family’s personal history. He had excellent driving skills. While admiring the breathtaking scenery, Dave drove the big car through the twisted mountain roads or narrow cobblestone paths in the villages in sunshine, rain and fog. And he loved squeezing the car into the tightest parking spots. I always felt very safe. Likewise for the nature walks as Ergi is passionate about hiking. Albania is beautiful and I enjoyed the trip very much.

Great team! Great service! 5 stars all along 🙌
