All Tirana Tours & Excursions in 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Day Trip with an Excellent Guide! Our day trip, Hiking to Gamti, Bovilla Lake and Kruja from Tirana, was absolutely perfect! Our tour guide, Gjenc, was wonderful. He is such a gentleman, very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing valuable information about Albania and the places we visited. Gjenc made the whole experience even more enjoyable with his kindness and attentiveness. He even offered to take photos of us, making sure we could capture some beautiful memories of the day. It was truly a fantastic experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If I were to do this day trip again (or another day trip), I would be more than happy to have Gjenc as my tour guide once more! Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Albania and enjoy a memorable day trip with an exceptional guide! Julian

Our day trip started with a pickup from outside Farmici First, which was our meeting point on all three trips we took . A couple of stops to pick up a few others and the mini bus was on its way to the first stop. Just over one hour of slow climbing up Mount Kruje on very twisty roads and we were at our first stop the 'Temple of Sari Salltik', a Bektashi cave shrine, consisting of a water fountain, a small mosque and a bust of the saint. Certainly something different and with some great views. A short journey and we were in Kruja for a walk through the bazaar where we stopped and were given a brief demonstration of traditional Albanian musical instruments. The bazaar had plenty of souvenir type things to buy but not really for me. After the bazaar we headed upto the castle, we were left to our own devices here and had a good walk around before popping into the museums (you have to pay for these). In the free time we had left we went back down to the bazaar and grabbed a snack and drink before heading back to the minibus and our journey back.. At around 7-8 hours and costing just £20 each it was a bargain and highly recommended if spending more than a couple of nights in Tirana.

Our guide Xhuljano was very friendly and helpful. There was a very good balance between parts of the tour where we’re guided on a particular route vs free time when you can roam about. The tour gives visitors the perfect opportunity to visit both Prishtina and Prizrzen as well as ticking off a box of visiting a new country. I would highly recommend this tour.

Despite it being a veeerrry long day … 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM. The driver and guide made this trip great! Everything felt organized and smooth and timed!! Mela, the guide was extremely pleasant and fun and engaging! Spoke a lot and gave great and smart introduction to understanding Albania and Kosovo and the people of the two nations. Gave great lunch place recommendations as well. Very well put together trip despite being sooo long of a day … but small bus transport was decently comfortable.

An amazing evening experiencing Albanian culture, food, and traditions! The dinner was not the best, but the traditional music and dance show made the night truly special. The performers were talented, full of energy, and passionate about sharing Albania’s rich heritage. The atmosphere was welcoming and full of life, making it a memorable experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Albania who wants to enjoy traditional entertainment and a wonderful cultural experience!

An incredible excursion, an absolute must-do! We had an exceptional day in Albania! The spots were simply magnificent, with breathtaking landscapes. 🇦🇱😍 A huge thank you to our guide, who was top-notch from start to finish! Very smiling, responsive, friendly, and attentive, he was able to make himself understood easily and make the excursion pleasant and accessible to everyone. You can tell that he loves what he does and that he cares about everyone having a great time. Everything was there for a memorable day! I highly, highly, highly recommend this excursion, without hesitation! If you are hesitating, go for it, you will not be disappointed! 🙌✨

The guide was already ready at the Opera on Skanderbeg Square before the agreed time. We were in total with a group of 6 people. The guide knew a lot to tell about the city, about the country, and its history. Very interesting! He left enough room to also ask and answer questions. This way you know better what you see in the city. Why certain things are the way they are. With explanations for points that you would otherwise skip. He also knew how to tell fascinating stories about life under communism. The walking pace was fine, there was no rushing anywhere, and the distance was about 2.5km that you walk almost unnoticed. Our guide had studied English and has a master's in it, so very easy to understand and comprehend. It has changed our view of Tirana and Albania in general (positively). Really recommend hiking this tour.

Being able to make a day trip to another country from Tiranë was great. North Macedonia is beautiful. Our guides (Nolan from Tiranë and Martina in Ohrid) were both great. They explained historical facts about the areas we visited and made sure everyone had a good time.
