BNA set up a fantastic ski tour across the 3 Balkan countries, the pre tour communication and organisation was excellent. The tour itself was exceptional with a knowledgeable guide and comfortable, well located guest houses.
The mountains themselves are stunning, up to about 2600m high, the snow was plentiful too.
Thank you BNA!

Klettersteig & Guide 10/10
Wir haben ganz spontan telefonisch eine Klettertour gebucht und es hat einfach perfekt funktioniert. Unser Guide war super nett, sehr entspannt und hat die Tour wirklich zu einem tollen individuellen Erlebnis gemacht. Neben dem Klettern hat er uns auch viele hilfreiche Tipps für unsere weitere Reise durch den Balkan gegeben und während der Tour tolle Fotos von uns gemacht. Nach der Tour hat er uns sogar noch auf einen Kaffee eingeladen und den Abend mit uns verbracht. Insgesamt wirklich eine rundum großartige Erfahrung – klare 10/10 und absolut zu empfehlen! Wir kommen wieder 🤗
We did the 10 days self-guided tour. It was a phenomenal trip and BNA were excellent. Edmond was an incredible help when we ran into some misadventures along the way, and the logistical support provided by these guys was second to none. I would wholeheartedly recommend BNA if you considering doing the Peaks of the Balkans trek.

It's all very well organized. The guest houses are family-run. We have always looked after each other very well ge
I did the 7 day tour Zagoria Valley together with my wife in a small group. We were allowed to spend a wonderful time in southern Albania. Niti informed us well at all times. He told us a lot about the history of the country and its culture. We were allowed to enjoy the hospitality of shepherds and families. They were relaxing days with good local, traditional food.
Sehr kurzfristig haben wir entschlossen, zu zweit den „Peaks of the Balkans“ zu laufen. Alba hat uns geholfen und ganz großartig organisiert. Jederzeit zuverlässig, zügig und stets freundlich haben wir mit ihr per Mail alle Details für unsere ganz persönliche Tour besprechen können. Und dann konnten wir mit Gzim losgehen. Der Mann ist einfach klasse! Fröhlich, sicher, bestens organisiert und sehr erfahren. Mit ihm kommt man über jeden Berg!

Die Tour mit Alba und ihrem Team wurde professionell geplant und ebenso durchgeführt. Unser Guide Gezim Murati ist auf unsere Wünsche und körperliche Konditionen, sowie aufgrund seiner überdurchschnittlichen Ortskenntnisse sehr gut eingegangen. Ohne die tolle Planung und Betreuung durch Alba und Gezim wäre die Tour für uns so nicht möglich gewesen. Noch einmal ein herzliches Dankeschön an Alba und Gezim. Tolles Team, mit euch immer wieder gerne unterwegs.

Nature and culture
It was a completely different journey than I had imagined. We were not so lucky with the weather, but thanks to Astrit and Neti, I got to know so much about the culture, the history of the Balkan countries and the people, which I may remember much more. Both guides were authentic and unique in their own way. Thank you for your effort.

Cultural Guiding Excellence
Our guides, Arianit (Niti) Mula and Astrit Begolli, helped us manage the weather and tricky route-finding, but most importantly shared their experience, insight and enthusiasm for their cultural and amazing history. I went for the mountains, but I will come back for the culture and people. Thank you Astrit and Niti for sharing so much of yourselves and your heritage.
Wir haben die sechs Tages Tour Anfang Oktober gemacht. Das Team von Balkan Natural Adventure hat uns zu jeder Zeit auf dem laufenden gehalten bezüglich der Wetterbedingungen. Auch eine spontane notwendige Umbuchung des Transfer konnte in kürzester Zeit umgesetzt werden. Ich kann jedem empfehlen, die Tour über Balkan Natural Adventure zu buchen.

Es waren 10 Tage, die wir in den Peaks of Balkan verbracht haben. Alles war gut organisiert. Niti und Astrit haben trotz gesperrten Pässen, aufgrund von Schnee und Eis, die Gruppe bei Laune gehalten. Sie haben kurzerhand das Tourenprogramm angepasst. Bei den abenlichen Besprechungen haben wir viel über die Kulturen des Balkan erfahren.

A wonderful trip, well-organized with built-in flexibility. Our excellent guides, Arianit (Niti) Mula and Astrit Begolli, were warm and funny, and shared their experiences growing up and living in the area, which added another fascinating dimension to the trip. Really worthwhile.

Thanks a lot on your review. Travel is about seeing experiencing and sharing stories. Both Astrit and Arianit are natural storytellers, so happy they get to share them with the world.

These were six exceptional days. The entire organization of the journey was outstanding — the preparation and updates in advance, the coordination and arrival at the starting point, the self-navigation, the accommodations, the ongoing communication — everything was at the highest possible level. Exceptional support and 24/7 communication. A 10/10 experience.

Unique Experience
A highly memorable trip, both a multi-day hike and an in-depth cultural introduction to the Balkans based on the personsl experiences of our guides. Extremely well organized, with built-in flexibility, and you visit some of the most beautiful and interesting places in Europe. Our guides, Arianit (Niti) Mula and Astrit Begolli, were outstanding: warm, funny and welcoming. A unique experience.
We had a really wonderful trip (6 day peaks of the Balkan). The hike was challenging at times but amazing! The communication with BNA was really good and they were really helpful and flexible. Guesthouses were all nice with good food and hot showers! Highly recommended!

I am so glad you mention felexibility, we try to offer that as it is needed in these situations. Its the hardest dimension of our work but we believe it is one of the most important.

My friend and I just completed a 9-day hike with BNA and it exceeded expectations! I loved the fact that this company focuses exclusively on the Balkans and it shows. The guides -- Astrit and Shkamb were amazing. They were accommodating and told informative and touching stores about the areas and their history. The scenery was out of this world. You have to work for it -- we calculated that we hiked 32,000 feet up and 29,000 feet down, but it was totally worth it. And the guesthouses were amazing and full of friendly people. I highly recommend this trip and Balkan Natural Adventure.
