Drive The Balkans Reviews 7

everything is great, car in good condition, delivery at night was no problem, thanks for the recommended routes... We will use them again

Ed is fantastic and we loved our trip! We traveled corfu to 6 places in Albania and then Kotor area! He was available very knowledgable and a good listener to help us with small details of where and when and what we imaged! We had some small travel snafus due to flights that were easily adjusted. We got to visit many unique locations that ed helped us choose and in directions that were correct map wise. I even had fly fishing arranged! We loved our small hotels and inns and our experiences overall. Would recommend Ed and his group absolutely! Albania is a magical place with treasures that most Americans have no idea about. We also visited North Macedonia! Ed’s advice was spot on as to what each location presented! It was a memorable trip!

Nothing but praise for Ed and this company. Ed devised a fantastic trip for two oldies having an adventure! Everything was arranged to suit our capabilities and what a varied, exciting tour it was. Ed was available if we needed help at any time and it was great to have his backup. Fantastic trip from beginning to end. Just hope we're not too old to use Drive the Balkans again! Perfect - five stars is not enough!

We had a terrific trip on their Southern Albania route, also taking in Zagori in Greece. First thing to say is that the scenery is magnificent and unspoilt (unlike parts of the coast), the roads good and the people friendly. Food was great. What sets this company apart though is their local presence and knowledge. They take real care to make sure you have a route through beautiful places and stay in places with some charm, as well as often being able to recommend good spots to eat. Personal service on arrival and available throughout on WhatsApp. Thanks to Ed for a brilliant time. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again

We recently returned from a great 7 day trip around southern Albania. The suggested itinerary was well considered and balanced. Booking and communications prior to trip very easy and efficient, as was the meet and greet on arrival at the airport.

We had a fantastic week and on return to the airport, we told Ed he had seriously undersold the holiday. It was considerably beyond our expectations. The country is fantastic and we met really friendly people every where we went. The itinerary gave us a great insight into the country and all the accommodation bookings were spot on.

We had not expected regular contact by WhatsApp from Ed who gave us encouragement, suggestions and updated routes, unexpectedly much of the travel was off road and gave us a chance to really experience a wonderful country.

It was a real adventure and an excellent experience. I have no hesitation in recommending the company or Albania and we look forward to our next trip.

We had an amazing 3 day self drive experience through Albania with a custom itinerary devised by Ed. The views were breathtaking every part of the journey and the accommodation, also booked by Ed was fantastic.

We were provided with detailed digital and printed itinerary and maps which gave us confidence to explore places we would never have tried for ourselves (including a 4x4 section which was absolutely stunning). Even though we had a limited time frame, the itinerary gave us time to visit some really special places.

Ed also checked in with us along the way, and gave just in time tips about where to eat and local things to do.

We really appreciated being able to start the drive in Tirana and drop off the car in Saranda, as it meant we could easily continue our journey to Corfu.

It was an unforgettable experience. Our recommendation: do it!
