Exploring Albania’s Charm This tour through Albania was unforgettable! Visiting Berat, Shkoder, and Gjirokaster offered a perfect mix of history, culture, and stunning architecture. Each city had its own unique character and beauty, leaving me amazed at every turn. The hospitality, delicious food, and well-organized itinerary made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend exploring these gems of Albania!
Incredible 4-Day Tour of Albania with Local Friends Albania!” We had an amazing 4-day tour across Albania with Local Friends Albania, and our guide Skerdi was exceptional. From the moment we met him, Skerdi made us feel welcome and comfortable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the country’s history, culture, and hidden gems. The tour took us from the stunning landscapes of the North to the beautiful coastal views in the South, with stops in charming towns and UNESCO World Heritage sites along the way. Skerdi’s passion for Albania shone through, and he tailored the experience to our interests, ensuring we got the most out of every stop. From exploring ancient ruins to savoring local cuisine, every moment was well-organized and memorable. We felt like we got to see the real Albania, thanks to Skerdi’s insights and recommendations. We highly recommend Local Friends Albania for anyone looking to explore this beautiful country. Thank you, Skerdi, for an unforgettable journey!
4 Day Private Tour of Albania from North to the South
- Self-Guided Tour: Theth, Valbona & Koman Lake in 4 Days
We enjoyed a lot this self-guided hiking tour. I'd like to thank Choose Balkans' team and Brikena specifically because of their assistance and kindness before, during and after the tour. We felt really comfortable with them. The whole experience couldn't be better: the hikes and the amazing places we discovered, the accommodation, people we met... The fact of being self-guided gives you much more freedom to organise your time as you wish, without pressure. We would definitely recommend it to everyone! :)

Coastal regions offer seafront options such as Hotel Martim in Saranda. According to a TourRadar review: "The accommodations ranged from charming family-run guesthouses in the mountains to elegant hotels in the cities each offering unique character and comfort."
What's the best time of year to take a Private tour in Albania?
Albania's diverse regions shine in different seasons. Cultural tours to places like Berat and Gjirokastra work best from April through October when temperatures hover between 20-30°C. Beach visits along the Albanian Riviera peak from May to September while mountain treks in the Albanian Alps are ideal June through September. As one TourRadar traveler noted about their summer tour: "We had an amazing 4-day tour across Albania with Local Friends Albania and the weather was perfect for exploring from the stunning landscapes of the North to the beautiful coastal views in the South."
What are the main highlights covered in Albania Private tours?
Private tours weave through Albania's key sites from the UNESCO-listed Ottoman towns of Berat and Gjirokastra to the rugged peaks of Theth National Park and the Mediterranean beaches of Ksamil and Saranda. Visitors spend time at local wineries in Berat explore the ancient ruins of Butrint and trek through Valbona Valley's mountain paths. As one TourRadar traveler noted "Having a private guide made exploring Albania's cultural and natural wonders an unforgettable experience - from hidden mountain villages to coastal gems."
How do I get between destinations on Private tours in Albania?
Tours provide modern air-conditioned vehicles with professional drivers at the wheel. Journeys between major points like Tirana to Berat take about two hours (130km) while Saranda to Gjirokastra runs about one hour (55km). Mountain destinations such as Theth require specialized 4x4 vehicles. According to a TourRadar review: "The private transfers were comfortable and our driver was excellent making even the mountain roads feel safe and enjoyable."
How physically demanding are Private tours in Albania?
Physical requirements depend on your chosen route. City-based cultural tours through Berat Shkoder and Tirana need basic fitness for walking on old streets and modest hills.

According to a TourRadar traveler: "The hiking trails were well-planned with stunning views and our guide Skerdi adapted the pace perfectly to our abilities while exploring both mountains and coastal areas."
