About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

[Hamed Ghassemian · Rating 3 out of 5]

A comprehensive book by Lonely planet as always
Unfortunately there is no integrity between the countries and still need much more details itineraries

[Carmen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent resource! Extremely handy for my trip there. Honestly I didn't know much about this area. Improved my trip knowing what I was seeing.

[Bryan Fox · Rating 3 out of 5]

Used this because there wasn't a LP specific to Albania, where I had a week's vacation. The Albania section really was just a summary/highlights - I get that a lot of travelers are visiting the Balkans as a tour and not just staying in one country only, but still, it feels like all of these countries could/should have their own guidebooks now, being firmly on the Tourist Trail, as they are.

4 stars

[Moni Chifor · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good book and lots of information about the country you want to visit.

[Erica · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s a decent overview of the various countries, though there is much more info on some places than others. I appreciate that there are some itineraries, but wish there were even more options here.

[Barron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aggressively pared down (by necessity), and one of the maps transposes the location of a museum.

[JC Cornell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love Lonely Planet guides. Find them a great place to get a base of information for deep diving the internet.

[Luisz · Rating 5 out of 5]

El abarcar tal extensión de territorio es a un tiempo su debilidad como su mejor mérito para el viajero con coche.

[Steve Saunders · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lots of great information
