What people love about Albania Tours from Tirana
- Solo Traveler Tour in Albania 11 days
I am glad I took this trip. It was actually very refreshing and exactly what I needed. Everyone was cool and the experience is worth it.
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 Not much information is available online, and quite a bit of what we did find turned out to be out of date (this country is changing really fast).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.
Albania: Local Food & UNESCO Heritage
- Albanian Highlights|6-Day Private Tour Across Albania
It was a wonderful experience. A country with not much known history, culture and traditions from us. Such amazing people to meet and places to visit. We loved the citi of Berat. Thanks to our albanian guide we learned all the amazing story and legends of this city. Gjirokastra was the tween of Berat with to much diversities. Wonderful places in the north also. The acomodation in the hotels was very comfortable and the food was delicious. Our guide Isuf was full of energy, enthusiast and perfect in comunication with a keen sense of direction. We enjoyed any day in Albania. Planing to come back again next year in the summer to visit all the riviera. Although the weather was very good now in november it was to late for the beach :) .
