What people love about Albania Tours for Seniors
- Albania: Local Food & UNESCO Heritage
The leader and driver were great, looking after us as if we were friends. The tour pace was about right, it was never 100% clear upfront what all the plans were for each day which was often nice, as we had an idea from the itinerary but some of the little stops etc were just built in to fit the vibe. There were a couple of key things included each day as per the itinerary, but also time to ourselves. If we needed to stop along the road for a break, or take a picture, or spend a bit longer in x then this was all doable. We weren't sure about taking a tour, but having travelled with Good Albania on their Local Food and Unesco Heritage tour we are so glad we did, the local experiences, attention to detail and way of travel get a thumbs up from us. This tour was one of the best we have done.
- Small Group Tour of Albanian Riviera; Vlora, Dhermi, Himara, Saranda and Ksamil
I thought the overall holiday was amazing. Very well organized. Lots to do and you get to see what Albania is all about. Our tour guide was great.
- Albania: Cultural Cities & Saranda Beach Stay
Andi and Rando made sure we did a good amount of hiking and exploring, took us to remote beaches that were beautiful and we had all to ourselves, and overall added to our appreciation and enjoyment of Albania’s natural beauty and culture. This tour was absolutely what I was hoping for!
