Best tour I've been on!

This was a great day trip from Shkoder! Our guide was Vilson and he was phenomenal! We went first to the highest point where we took a quick stop for the bathroom and some coffee/tea and photos of amazing views. We continued to the Blue Eye hike start. This hike is moderate. Vilson was very attentive to my bum knee (I brought hiking poles) and even caught me before I completely wiped out at the very end. The Blue Eye was gorgeous and well worth the hike and the lunch we had after was filling and delicious. We headed back down to hike a shorter path to a waterfall, but it was more steep/rocky. I skipped this hike since falling, but my husband said it was a beautiful waterfall. We made one last stop at a church in the center of Theth where Vilson gave us a quick history lesson. All in all, this tour was great and well worth it. If we were to come back and do it again, I would ask for Vilson!

Roxanne_P, Apr 2026

Amazing day!!

We were lucky enough to inadvertently have a private tour because of the off season and Jona was a brilliant guide, knowledgeable, kind and funny. The half day tour is good to get a taste of traditional and historic Albania at gjirokastra and then a taste of Albania’s stunning natural landscapes at the blue eye. Highly worth it if you want to explore Albania beyond the beaches!

Day Tour to Belsh Lake, Berat and Durrës

It was a great tour and experience visiting those 3 places. The tour was very talkative and was always giving us tips and information about the places and extra activities ideas to do there. We were given enough free time to enjoy the different places visited. I recommend this experience.

Tour to Butrint Unesco Site - Blue Eye-Ksamil and Lekursi Castle

Nicola_F, Apr 2026

This was a perfect shore...

This was a perfect shore excursion. Klajdi had contacted us to organise the meeting point a couple of days before and also sent us a photo of himself so that we could recognise him! He was very friendly and spoke perfect English. There were 6 of us in the group and Klajdi made sure that all of the group could manage the paths and steps etc. He was great at explaining what we were seeing and the history. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the castle, Blue Eye and Butrint. Thankyou

Fantastic experience

Our guide, Gjenc, was outstanding. He shared a wealth of information about every place we visited, answered all our questions with enthusiasm, and made the experience both engaging and enriching. He took us to a stunning lake, beautiful waterfalls, and the city of Kruja, each stop thoughtfully explained and perfectly timed. He also made a lot of photos :) This excursion was without doubt a highlight of our trip to Albania — a deep dive into the country’s culture, history, and, of course, its remarkable nature.

Semi-Private Tour of North Macedonia: Ohrid & Struga from Tirana

Justin_S, Dec 2025

Fantastic experience in Ohrin with Altin!

We had a wonderful trip to Struga and Ohrin, thanks to our fantastic driver and guide, Altin! He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured our comfort and safety throughout our journey! The return trek is not for the faint of heart, with navigating and traversing on such twisty, winding roads, but Altin was a true champion! Further, I appreciated the clear communication of pick-up point, and I he fact that he was there waiting for us, with a smile. We experienced beautiful weather and stunning views from the castle, and monastery. There is a significant amount of walking across uneven terrain, so please be mindful, and choose this trip accordingly based on your walking/fitness abilities. It is a full day activity, but incredibly worth it!

Lovely trip to Berat!

Well organised even if I was not! Guide was great Armela and local girl to Berat with lots of pride of the area I liked that. Few things happened during the trip not of her control and she handled it like a pro and kept the show on the road. Highly recommend and the wine tasting was great with family run resturant with stunning views. Beware of Raki it has some.fire in it ))

Saranda:Boat Tour to Kakome,Hidden Cave & Beaches,with snorkell.

Sara_Z, Oct 2025

Beautiful and fun day 🌊🚤

Amazing day! Such a beautiful coastline. 100% recommend the Leonardo team. Because the weather was a bit cool, and waves, they took us to nice coves so that we could swim in sheltered water or relax on the beach. Yes, it's a speed boat so sometimes we went a bit fast for fun- but the drivers are very vigilant of the water and aware of the guests who were all smiling. Thanks to the Captains Rezi and Kristi!

Markus_R, Oct 2025

Heartfelt Albanian Hospitality

What stood out for me was the genuine kindness. It didn’t feel like just a business — more like being welcomed by friends who really love their country. The guide’s pride in Albania was contagious, and it made the whole trip extra special. Highly recommended if you want more than just sightseeing.

Gjirokastra and Blue Eye, Small-Group Tour from Saranda & Ksamil

Lori_R, Sep 2025

Nice day with lots of history

The Castle, Cold War tunnels and Blue Eye were fascinating. I’m convinced that no one knows more about Albania’s history than our guide, Marsia! The only down side are the many, many hills and uneven steps involved in this tour. It is NOT for almost anyone, as the description states. Numerous people on our tour stayed behind rather than climb another hill or navigate more uneven steps.

Fabulous day trip!! Excellent tour guide!!!!’

This day trip was well worth the money! Tony our guide was so knowledgeable. He made this experience so memorable and gave us information that we won’t forget. Not sure what we expected but was far better than we had imagined. Top tip - cover yourself in mozzy repellent before you leave for the ruins.

This was an amazing...

This was an amazing experience and tour! My tour guide, Oltion (Tony), was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend booking a tour with Choose Balkans as they were communicative and well organized. If you get paired with Oltion, you are without a doubt in great hands! It was an unforgettable day, stress free and a gave a great overview of Montenegro!
