Reviews of Albania Family Tours
- Classical tour of Albania
The tour exceeded my expectations. It gave me good insight into the history and the geography of the country. Our guide, Ervin DAJA was more than perfect. His knowledge of the country and explications were extraordinairy. In addition to this, his driving skill was exemplary. He went out of his way to ensure that our stay was a memorable one and he certainly succeeded. The route was a well thought out one which gave us the opportunity to see the maximum number of places in a limited time sphere. My only criticism would be the hotel in Saranda, Hotel Lindi, which was centrally situated but nothing seemed to work e.g. television (poor reception and no international channels), plug in the bathroom basin non-functional, air-conditioning didn't work. Apart from that, all the hôtels were well situated and of a high standard. The transport provided was extremely comfortable. All the people who we met in Albania were very friendly and helpful.
- Small Group Tour; Peaks of the Balkans – Theth, Valbona & Koman Lake
It was good overall but the last two days in theth could have been done in one day (the blue eye and the grunas waterfall) The last day could be exploring shkodra and hiking up to rozafa palace etc.
This October, I had the privilege of joining a 6-day tour of Albania with Local Friends Albania, and it was an unforgettable experience! Every day was a perfect mix of culture, history, stunning landscapes, and genuine Albanian hospitality. We started the journey in Shkodra, a charming northern city steeped in history and tradition. Exploring Rozafa Castle and taking in the panoramic views of Lake Shkodra was the perfect introduction to Albania's rich heritage. Next, we headed to Durrës, where the ancient Roman amphitheater and the lively seaside promenade gave us a glimpse of both the country's past and its vibrant present. Berat, known as the "City of a Thousand Windows," was another highlight. Wandering through the cobblestone streets of the old quarters and visiting the hilltop castle transported us back in time. Local Friends Albania ensured we got to meet locals and even sample homemade treats, which made the visit feel extra special. The journey continued to Gjirokastra, the “Stone City,” where the beautifully preserved Ottoman architecture and the imposing castle offered a fascinating look into Albania's history. Our guide's storytelling brought the city to life, making it one of my favorite stops on the tour. Nature lovers will adore the Osumi Canyons, and so did I! We hiked along the edge of the stunning canyon, marveling at its dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters. It was a refreshing and awe-inspiring escape into Albania’s incredible natural beauty. Of course, no trip to Albania would be complete without experiencing the Albanian Riviera. The beaches were absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters and golden sands. Himara, a charming coastal town, became our base for exploring the Riviera. From swimming in secluded bays to savoring fresh seafood while enjoying sunset views, it was pure paradise. Throughout the tour, the team at Local Friends Albania was exceptional. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, friendly, and passionate about showcasing the best of Albania. The small group size made the tour feel personal and flexible, allowing us to truly connect with each destination. The food was another standout! Every meal was an authentic feast of Albanian flavors, from traditional dishes like byrek and tave kosi to delicious fresh fish and local raki. The visit to a family-run winery was a special treat, where we tasted some of the best wines in the region. Local Friends Albania truly lives up to their motto, "Come as customers, leave as friends." By the end of the tour, I felt like I had gained not only a deeper appreciation for Albania but also lifelong friends. If you're considering a trip to Albania, don’t hesitate to book with Local Friends Albania. Their attention to detail, passion for their country, and genuine hospitality make them a standout choice.
