- RPRonald· September 6th, 2024An affordable and well run tour covering Albania's highlights. Our guide Vini did double duty, driving our van for hours then donning his tour leader hat, attentively leading us on various walking tours. We were also alloted free time to tour and dine on our own. Our hotels were uniformly clean, well maintained, with usually decent w-fi. Several of us purchased sim cards for more reliable internet access, using this as a hotspot when there was spotty wi-fi coverage. We lucked out in Gjirokaster when a pop concert was held in the square directly outside our hotel. It was a nice insight into Balkan-flavored contemporary music and tastes.Show more

- AOAtefeh· October 27th, 2022I enjoyed this tour and exploring different parts and cities of Albania. This tour is a mix of culture/history and sightseeing/nature and includes a half day at a sandy beach (the beaches are lovely). Personally, I would have loved one or two full beach days 😁😊 Ervin, our tour guide, was nice, and helpful. The hotels that we stayed in were all really good, so did the breakfasts. The tour is basically six full days of doing various kind of activities and sightseeing. The first day includes airport pick up but apart from that you won’t do anything else (would be nicer if a welcome dinner with the other tour members was organised, especially for solo travelers). The last day is also transfer to airport so again you won't do anything with the tour (but can do stuff on your own). Overall, a nice, decent tour. Albania is such an amazing, beautiful country with good food and drinks 😊👍🏻Show moreBalkan Insight commented on this reviewDear Atefeh, Thank you for the review.
