Visit Berat with a private driver Your driver will collect you in your hotel in Tirana at the pre-arranged time and you can relax in your comfortable vehicle during the drive to Berat. He will be a native of the region and can answer all of your questions and take you on the most scenic routes to your destinations. Berat is also known as the 1001 windows town, part of UNESCO world heritage. Walking through the narrowed stone streets offers a fantastic view of the medieval old houses, with windows that seem to stand above each other. Uniquely today, residents still live inside of the castle walls. Berat has it all; a beautiful medieval castle, ancient churches and mosques, a lively lower town consisting of grand old houses draped on steep hillsides, an old stone bridge, great museums and remains from the communism era in Albania. Your English speaking driver will be at your disposal throughout the day and can take you directly to any place you wish to visit.

Two very different experiences combined in one tour so you can get into the real spirit of Berat. After driving for some 35 kilometers from Berat, the next leg of the journey is a 40-minute hike through a lush forest. Then, you will be rewarded with the magnificent view of the Bogova Waterfall! The water falls from 20 meters of height feeding a 12-meter deep pool. The spot is perfect for taking in the sun, relaxing amidst the sounds of nature, and taking an energizing swim. After immersing yourself in nature, it is time to immerse your taste buds in one of the top-rated wineries of the region– the Alpeta Winery. The flavors of their wine selection come alive as you feast on seasonal finger food, all local - cheese, fruits/olives, and dried fruits. A member of the family will tell you the story of the making of this strong Albanian wine brand. You will end the day with the sounds of nature in your soul and a taste of Berat’s most famous wines.
