The trip was excellent. [...] I found huge benefit in seeing all these countries as a "package" - their history, languages and cultures are so intertwined that it gave a very good perspective on this part of Europe as a whole.
The itineraries were great - I especially enjoyed the last tour (Albania, N Macedonia and Kosovo) which included opportunities to enjoy the scenery and outdoors a little more than the others.
