What are people saying about Albania

Local food experience & walking tour of Tirana

Takeshia_D, Nov 2026

Tirana food tour

Really enjoyed this activity in Tirana. Markel was an excellent guide who shared so much of Albania's history during the food tour. The food was plentiful and it ranged from fruit, nuts, honey to a full sit down meal in a restaurant. So glad I booked this while in Tirana!

Berat UNESCO Heritage and Belshi Lake Tour - From Tirana/ Durres

Christina_F, Nov 2026

Affordable and pleasant way to see Berat

I was hesitant about joining such a big group but ended up having a great time. Klajdi and driver were both excellent. The bus was comfortable and spacious. Only downside was that it smelled like a teenage boy’s room that hasn’t been aired out in weeks. Otherwise, no complaints. Klajdi was friendly and organized. No tired jokes or cynical commentary, just interesting history, useful information and clear instructions without talking down to anyone.

Day Tour of Kosovo from Tirana, Pristina and Prizren

Guy_B, Nov 2026

A day’s insight into Kosovo

Felt the right pace with the right amount of stops I don’t understand previous reviews complaining about the time driving….it’s as stated on the your description and you expect it!

From Tirana/Durres/Golem: Prizren and Prishtina Full-Day Tour

Coumaravadee_N, Oct 2026

Armela - Fantastic Guide & One of the Best Tours We’ve Had!

Our tour of Prizren and Prishtina was absolutely fantastic, and Armela was an exceptional guide! The pickup was smooth and well organised, with all the necessary details communicated to us the evening before. Armela was incredibly knowledgeable about both cities, their history, culture and politics. She created a WhatsApp group for everyone, sharing recommendations on exactly what to see and do during our free time, along with coordinates for each landmark, which made exploring so much easier. Throughout the day, she was informative, engaging and happy to answer all our questions. My husband and I particularly enjoyed the political, cultural and economic discussions we had as a group. These conversations made the experience even more interesting and gave us a much deeper understanding of Kosovo and Albania. What could have been just another sightseeing trip turned into one of the best tours we’ve had! Armela’s knowledge, enthusiasm and approach really made the difference. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy history, politics and meaningful discussions beyond the usual sightseeing!

I had a lovely time seeing the shrine, old bazaar and Kruja Castle. The bus is really comfortable and the guide was amazing with her knowledge and keeping us to time whilst having enough time to explore the different areas of the visit. Highly recommend as the distance wasn't that far from Tirana !

Traditional Albanian Cooking Class in Tirana with Raki Tasting

Teresa_S, Oct 2026

A great cooking and eating experience

Dervis has prepared a very well executed menu of traditional Albanian dishes, all very delicious. The space is small but just right for a class of 12. His English is perfect, he’s fun to talk with and he shares lots of Albanian food history along with the lesson. Highly recommended!
