The sequence of the tour, and the time allocated for each stop was perfect. It was well balanced between culture, history, nature, food, and people.

Marni Goodman Highlights of Albania

A most enjoyable holiday, shared with a lovely group of people – at a far more relaxed place than other Explore holidays I’ve done. We covered a lot of the central and southern part of the country – and it felt like we probably touched upon the majority of the major sites and towns.

Claire Aldridge Highlights of Albania

The real strength of this tour was the use of local guides who gave us their stories of life under Soviet occupation and family histories of displacement. Learning about the terrible war time history of the region was balanced by moments admiring beautiful buildings and lovely beaches and forests. There was enough free time to wander and visit a few museums – recommended the Maritime museum in Tallinn, The Occupation Museum (take a tour) and Art Nouveau Museum and Ghetto Museum in Riga. In Vilnius and Tallinn the KGB Museums. There were some long bus journeys, very flat landscape but plenty of coffee and toilet stops!
