What Did Our Friends Say About Us

Dear Balkan Peak Expedition, I was really impressed with your professionalism. Also, I note how willing you are to help with our stuff at the guesthouse. Ilir does such a valuable job with search + rescue, so good luck for the future, considering this is not your professional job.

Best wishes,

Glenys

Dear Balkan Peak Expedition, this is to thank you for looking after us on this wonderful hike. Your passion for the mountains is contagious. This was my first multi-day hiking experience and certainly would not be the last. I wish all the best!

Sue

Dear BPE, I feel extremely fortunate to have a guide as amazing as you. Ilir worked so well, managed a group of older women with different levels of capabilities, and I felt so safe and cared for all the time. Particularly fun was your shouts of encouragement going up the peak with their different boarders that had all laughing. Thank you so much, Ilir, couldn't have hoped for a more enjoyable experience - Bravo

Hi Balkan Peak Expedition, it has been an amazing week, having the opportunity to walk the Peaks of Balkan with you as a guide. Even though I did not have a chance to interact with you, being a bit tail-end Charlie, I appreciate the way you filled our gap and worked hard to keep us together as much as possible. Thank you for your passion!
