The Albanian Alps are a wonderful area to visit, the people are friendly and helpful. CB Tours did a great job of booking accommodation and supporting us throughout the five days. Brikena was very helpful when I left my jacket at a hotel and she arranged for it to be dropped off the following day.

What are the main highlights covered in Albania Private tours?
Private tours weave through Albania's key sites from the UNESCO-listed Ottoman towns of Berat and Gjirokastra to the rugged peaks of Theth National Park and the Mediterranean beaches of Ksamil and Saranda.
