Hiking trails were better than I expected in challenge wise. I came after hiking of 119km and over 4500m elevation over 5 day period before coming for this trip. Dispite some adjustment at the end the trip, my friends will love the trails we've done.

This trip is definitely an adventure - the scenery is incredible and while the hiking can be challenging (especially in the heat) the views are always worth it. Ivan (our guide) is one of the best. If you’re looking for something a bit different put this on your list - you won’t be disappointed.

Hiking Via Dinarica was such a beautiful adventure - the combination of the stunning alps, the wonderful women on this tour, our extremely knowledgeable and dependable tour guide Bashkim, and the hospitality and generosity of the Balkan people has made this a trip of a lifetime. Highly recommended, and forever grateful.

I really enjoyed the Hiking- the Balkans: via Dinarica. It was definitely challenging but equally rewarding and fun. The accommodation locations, history, cultural and dining experience were out of the world for me. Highly recommended to anyone.

This is a unique region to visit and should be on people's bucket list.

The hikes should have started in the morning. More hikes and destination in Croatia. Wild horse activity should be taken out.

A fantastic trip led by Ivan that showcases the breathtaking natural beauty of Bosnia, Montenegro and Albania. While physically challenging (particularly in 30 degree heat!), the views were worth it and the Day 1 hike to Devil's Gate, the Three Peaks hike in Gusinje and the Theth-Valbone hikes are particular highlights.

Highly recommended! The hikes go through beautiful and relatively quiet routes. Our guide (Bashkim) is passionate and extremely knowledge, meaning we learned lots about the area. The cities we visited are fascinating and have delicious food. A great escape from normal life.

What an amazing trip , 4 beautiful countries , Bashkim was a brilliant guide , full of knowledge and a pleasure to be with . Trip was well organised and I met some amazing people from all over the world.

I can warmly recommend this trip to anyone loving mountains - you will get an unforgettable insight into the stunning scenery of the countries of the Western Balkans. I was on the very first trip that took place, and it was a unique experience being the guinea pig! There are some tweaks needed to the timings of things to ensure a smooth flow, but I have full confidence that the Intrepid team will make this trip even better for future groups.

This trip exceeded my expectations in terms of scenery, variety of hikes and itinerary. The rest day was great to do some exploring and relax the pace a little. You won't be disappointed! I highly recommend this trip!

Would love to do another Italian tour with Vincenzo

Hiking the Dolomites with Intrepid was a fabulous and unforgettable trip. Based in a wonderful hotel, it was made easy for us to experience different highlights of the Dolomites every day. The guide (Vincenzo) was excellent in every way and great fun! Highly recommend this trip.

This trip was magical. Dobbiaco is an absolute fairy tale heaven of a town. The hikes were inspiring. Every moment of this trip was marvelous, I would stay in town and do it again if I could!!

Do it. This was a challenging and highly rewarding trip Very well led. Glorious scenery. Lots to learn and enjoy.

Absolutely amazing experience and worth doing. ( I would do it again). It does require a certain level of fitness as some hiking is steep and intense. The views are worth the hard work in my opinion. You really get a feel of achievement. The tour guides are brilliant.

Our guide was very knowledgeable with the country and the area. But the timing of activities are a bit off which impacted overall experience. Places visited are beautiful and very scenic. I had a good time throughout the trip. I’m a happy traveler and have done many intrepid tours in the past and already booked/paid one for September. But I will probably choose another tour company if I’m given a choice. Their customer service/back office is seriously lacking a common courtesy.

This proved to be a very challenging and rewarding trip for those who opted to tackle every hike. The Balkans were new to most of us, and many spots (the drive through the national park in Montenegro in particular) were truly beautiful. Meals and accommodations were sometimes limited but generally sufficient, and the trout this pescatarian was served virtually every evening was exceptional.

Loved this trip. Our leader Vincenzo was so enthusiastic it was infectious. The hikes were beautiful and not too difficult there was no pressure to take part and you could always make time for yourself. I feel recharged and enthused after spending time in the beautiful mountains. The hotel is well located and the transport around is easy!

The dolomites sell themselves, stunning scenery at every turn, a magical place which will steal a piece of your heart. Matteo our tour leader is exceptional at his job, going above and beyond to create the most wholesome experience, with him and the group I was with, it made for the best week, forging friendships for life!
