    In October 2017 my girlfriend and I were on a 6 day tour of Albania booked through Adventure and Fun Albania. We were expecting it to be a tour group (6+ people) but turned out to be just the two of us who had signed up! This was a shock! We're very glad that they honoured our tour booking rather than cancelling, as we have been let down in this way in the past! However we are fairly quiet and like to keep to ourselves so being the only people getting the guides attention was not our ideal situation! Ben was our guide, we found him to be friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. There was a bit of a personality clash as Ben is very communicative and outgoing. This would have been great in a big group as we'd been expecting when we'd booked the tour. This isn't a criticism of Ben, more that it wasn't our ideal situation and he would have been perfect leading a large group or a private tour for more outgoing travellers. The tour itself was fantastic. We loved every place that we visited. The drive through the mountains was beautiful. The beaches on the Ionian Coast were incredible. Albania has so much varied history, landscapes and architecture. Each day seemed to bring something different but was as good as the last. The accommodation on the tour was excellent, far better than we had anticipated, we couldn't fault it in the slightest. The hotels were always clean, in a great location and we had some spectacular views from our room. We are both vegetarian and we were able to find some good meals everywhere we went, we again couldn't fault any of the places chosen to eat. The car was also in excellent condition, comfortable and spacious. Ben (our guide and driver) was really reliable, we always felt safe with him behind the wheel irrespective of whether we were on a motorway, one of the older, less maintained roads or in the crazy Tirana traffic. We did deviate a little from the published itinerary, some of this was done to suit our personal preference (and the smaller sized group than planned allowed for more activities), a few things because it wasn't the best time of year for them but we were certainly not disappointed with any activity. We would definitely recommend doing a tour through Adventure and Fun Albania, but be prepared that it may be a small group!
