My husband and I used Choose Balkans for private transportation from Tirana to Sarande. The process was smooth, easy, and the communication with the company was great. Ervis was our driver and he made sure to make stops along the way for us and let us stop at the Borsh waterfall restaurant for lunch. Very satisfied with the services they provide!
I had a perfect stay in their Moonlight Apartment in Tirana. Albana was excellent in helping me with everything I need! ❤️
Fabulous host….so helpful And a beautiful apartment The area is perfect for exploring and safe easy to walk around.
We went on a one-day trip from Tirana to Theth with Billy from the Choose Balkans agency, and we highly recommend it to everyone! Billy is an excellent guide and travel companion. He answers every question in an engaging way and shares his knowledge about life, culture, nature, and the economy of Albania. He drives very well and safely. Our journey to Theth included stops at beautiful viewpoints for photos. We enjoyed a pleasant time in the national park and went hiking along the Black Creek to the Blue Eye in Theth. The views were breathtaking – a must-see! On the way back, we visited Shkodër, a beautiful city with a view of Lake Shkodër. It was an amazing day spent in great company. We highly recommend trips with Billy and the Choose Balkans team!
We had such a great experience! Sirma was super helpful in organizing everything ahead of time, and on the day of our winery and Durrës tour, Brikena was there with us to make sure everything went smoothly. Our group of 14 felt really well taken care of the whole time. Big thanks to our awesome driver Jolent and our guide Ilir – both were super friendly and made the day fun and stress-free. Choose Balkans also handled our airport transfers, which went perfectly. Highly recommend – 5 stars all the way!
