What are people saying about Albania

I had a fantastic day...
I had a fantastic day visiting Kruja Castle and the Sarisalltik site — a truly memorable experience from start to finish. Our guide Arber was a cool guy: relaxed, welcoming, and effortlessly organised. The WhatsApp group he set up beforehand was a real bonus — clear tips, timely updates, and helpful reminders made meeting up and planning transport straightforward and stress-free. Arber brought the history to life with sharp facts and charming anecdotes, and his sense of humour kept everyone engaged throughout the walk. The castle’s dramatic views and the atmospheric Old Bazaar were real highlights, and Arber pointed out local details you’d otherwise miss. Practical details were handled smoothly, the pace was comfortable, and the group vibe was relaxed and enjoyable. If you’re heading to Kruja and thinking about the Sarisalltik tour, I’d highly recommend going with Arber — great communication, brilliant guiding, and a genuinely enjoyable day out.

Can’t go wrong!
This was a perfect break from the hustle and bustle of Tirana and more convenient to get to than Sarrandes. Vilson is such a great tour guide! He really brought the energy of the group up and even taught us a few Albanian words! That was so cool. He had so many great facts about the city that I didn’t hear on other tours that I had taken. I would definitely recommend doing this if you need a more relaxed scheduled. The water was absolutely perfect.

Amazing tour of 4 historical sites!
The amazing trip started with the Monastery of Saint Nicholas before moving on to the Blue Eye, then to Gjirokastër, which was a beautiful stone village. The mountain range along the way was absolutely spectacular. We ended the tour at Lëkurësi Castle near Sarandë, which was the final destination and had absolutely phenomenal panoramic views for taking photos. Our two guides, Angelino and Aemil, were absolutely wonderful!

Great tour with Gjenc,...
Great tour with Gjenc, who was knowledgable and friendly. He gave us a great insight into the history of Albania as well as current issues facing the country. The tour gets you to Bovilla Lake and the viewpoint earlier than most other tours - we had about 30mins up there with only 3 other people - by the time we got down there were 30+ people queuing for the iconic photo at the viewpoint. We also got driven all the way up to the start of the short walk too - larger vans and minibuses have to drop tourists off further down the trail, leaving them to walk up a winding dirt road for about 40-60mins. You then have lunch at Kruje with a quick yet informative tour of the bazaar and castle, and then you have a bit of free time before heading back to Tirana. Note there is a fair bit of driving, but better to have a local do it than attempt it yourself with a rental car - some of the roads, and drivers, can be chaotic.
