Travel story
This is a fixed-departure, 8-day package tour crossing three countries: Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia.

In North Macedonia, the tour continues to Skopje, Bitola, and the lakeside town of Ohrid, allowing you to experience the diverse history and cultures of the Balkan interior.
All itinerary items are confirmed in advance, and while on site an English-speaking guide accompanies the group so you can efficiently experience city sightseeing, old town walks, and visits to historic buildings. As a guaranteed-departure package tour, individual arrangements or itinerary changes are not provided; instead, it offers a worry-free way to enjoy travel that spans multiple countries.
