Refund requested for Alabania Tour!

Kathy_K, Jun 2025

I am on a cruise and Upon arrival in Albania, we had to wait for 30-45 minutes after we had security call them for us and was told our PRIVATE tour will be a small group. Asked for refund and was given it. They recommended a driver, who was very kind but was not a guide. He couldn't answer questions we had.

The most friendly guide and the perfect tour alla Albania!

Nora_T, Jun 2024

We travelled more three weeks across Albania with a caravan and decided to try this private trip, as we wanted to spare us the parking stress. Well we received the most of these sites i believe ! We had a private tour, our guide was young, speaking fluently english, studied. He could answer us all the questions we've gathered through our travels. He gave us great historical description as well as natural description from the places we've visited. We could plan and adjust the trip, we even drove slowlier so we could enjoy the picturesque scenery ( the whole trip is really nice! ) our driver brought us safe to all places and we stepped of the car right before entrances. We even had some water and snacks on the board. Our guide was really helpful, nice, friendly and funny ! We had a funny time, just the thee of us, felt verry familiar ! We can only recommend this tour if you want to travel without worries, comfortly, ask and learn about the coutry and the history of them. Thank you very much for this unusual experience.

Posti interessanti e belli, guida preparata

Claudia_A, Sep 2024

posti molto interessanti. A Gijrokastra, guida brava con l'italiano e appassionata nel raccontarci la storia del proprio paese, i propri valori di cittadino albanese e nel trasferirci usi e costumi del posto. Autista con buona guida, ci ha scortato anche al blu eye, fonte molto fredda ma incantevole.
