What people love about Albania Tours from Tirana
- Self-Guided Hiking Tour: Theth, Valbona & Koman Lake in 5 days
We arrived on monday at Tirana and met Sirma at the office. Shs was really helpful and enthusiastic about the hiking trip we booked at ChooseBalkans. The 5 day tour was organised very well so there were very few times we had a question for Sirma during the tour. We are happy with the service and we would recommend this tour to everyone.
In early November 2017, my wife and I took the 8 day tour of Southern Albania (Local Food and Unesco Heritage tour). We loved every minute and can highly recommend it. We covered an immense amount of geographic, cultural, and culinary ground in this trip. Even though the week contained a seemingly impossible amount of places, people, meals, and other activities, the pace was ideal. There was a perfect balance of scheduled events and alone time for exploring or relaxing on our own. Our guides were consummate professionals with incredible attention to detail. They are obviously very experienced because everything went so smoothly, but never did things feel routine or scripted. The level of interest and enthusiasm they maintained kept it from feeling like a canned experience. We felt like a group of friends on an adventure together. We were initially on the fence about a guided tour because it seemed so unlike the way we normally like to travel. But Albania from the outside appeared to be more opaque a place than we normally visit. Not much information is available online, and quite a bit of what we did find turned out to be out of date (this country is changing really fast). We’re so happy we chose to go with GoodAlbania. No amount of planning or exploring on our own could have given us as exciting, as honest, or as memorable a trip to this amazing country.
