Our 10-day Peaks of the Balkans hiking adventure, booked through Tratoli, was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service we received was outstanding, including experienced drivers, a knowledgeable guide, and round-the-clock support from the team. The accommodations were notably clean, our hosts hospitable, and the meals provided were simply delicious. The journey itself was a breathtaking exploration of mountain summits, verdant pastures, vibrant wildflowers, and awe-inspiring rock formations. While some trails were bustling with fellow hikers, our savvy guide Ernest ensured we had access to more secluded paths, allowing us to enjoy the serene wilderness. It's impressive to witness the collaboration among diverse communities contributing to the prosperity of this cross-border region through sustainable tourism. Choose Balkans truly excels in promoting eco-friendly travel, and for that, they have our sincere gratitude.

Embarking on an adventure through Tratoli, we experienced the breathtaking views of Komani Lake, commencing our journey with a 1.5-hour ferry ride that unveiled the region's stunning landscapes. Despite the picturesque scenery, it was disheartening to witness the lake's considerable litter issue, a concern vocalized by fellow travelers. The need for thorough clean-up efforts was palpable amid the natural beauty. Following our ferry journey, a brief drive in a cozy minibus brought us to the charming embrace of Valbona Village, nestled amidst majestic natural splendor. The village's serene atmosphere provided a perfect prelude to the next day's exploration. Guided by a friendly and attentive professional, our group ventured out, confident in the safety and expertise provided. The highlight of our trip was the exhilarating Maja e Rosit hike. A full 11 hours were devoted to ascending the scenic trails, culminating in a spectacular view from the peak that simply took our breath away. Reflecting on our experience booked through Tratoli, we are filled with a sense of contentment. The combination of stunning hikes, a beautiful setting, and the company of a considerate guide made for a memorable excursion. This tour is a testament to the vibrant heart of adventure that beats within Valbona and beyond.

We had a delightful experience exploring Albania, beginning with our timely pickup by Toni (Elton), our friendly and accommodating tour guide, at the designated meeting spot. Quickly forging a strong rapport, we journeyed toward Komani Lake amidst a serene and congenial ambiance. With Toni attentively catering to our needs for breaks and photo opportunities, the boat excursion proved to be a serene journey and a hallmark event of our Albanian adventure, perfectly timed before peak season. Seamless communication with Sirma, our diligent organizer, underscored the trip's smooth organization. For future travel plans, I am undoubtedly turning to the same expert travel service—ensured by the fact we had originally booked this memorable itinerary through Tratoli. Next visit, I intend to extend my stay and am excited to reconnect with Choose Balkans for another unforgettable tour.
