Would strongly recommend Brikena and Choose Balkans. Everything was organised for us and Brikena was very responsive throughout our trip whenever we had any enquiries. Overall hiking in this region was absolutely stunning. The guesthouses were really nice too, a very authentic way to spend our time in Albania.

We travel....a lot, and this was an epic adventure! What we saw was amazing but even more impressive was the logistics behind our travel. Our trip was flawless. Our guide was extremely nice.

What our customers ask about Albania Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Albania?
Plan your Albanian adventure during May-June or September-October when mild temperatures and fewer tourists create an ideal balance. You'll find good travel conditions along the Riviera near Saranda and Ksamil with enough social atmosphere but less intensity than peak season. These months also offer great hiking weather in Theth and Valbona Valley. Booking data shows September leads in solo traveler numbers with one TourRadar traveler sharing "September offered perfect weather for both hiking and swimming plus it was easy to meet other travelers without the summer crowds."
Which areas of Albania are most welcoming for solo travelers?
Solo travelers gravitate to the coastal towns of Saranda and Himara where beachfront areas and relaxed restaurants create natural meeting spots. The historic centers of Berat and Gjirokaster welcome visitors with family-run guesthouses where travelers often connect including spots like Hotel Partner in Vlora. Tirana's cafe scene especially around New Bazaar and Blloku makes meeting people easy. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The local hospitality in Berat was amazing - staying at the traditional guesthouse made it so easy to connect with other travelers over home-cooked meals."
What activities on Albania tours are best for meeting other travelers?
Group tours provide natural settings for connections whether staying at family-run spots like Hotel Colombo in Saranda or joining wine tastings in Berat. Tour data shows solo travelers make up 38% of participants creating a social atmosphere. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The group dynamics were fantastic and our guide Daniel made everyone feel included creating a wonderful atmosphere for solo travelers to connect while exploring incredible sites like Butrint and the Albanian Riviera."
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Albania tours?
Your stays will mix city hotels like the Tirana International with local guesthouses in mountain towns like Theth. Heritage properties such as Hotel Colombo in Berat offer traditional settings while coastal stops feature seaside options like Partner Hotel in Vlore. As one TourRadar traveler put it: "The mix of accommodations was perfect - from modern hotels in Tirana to family-run guesthouses in Gjirokaster each offering opportunities to connect with other travelers."
What's the typical single supplement cost on Albania tours?
Extra costs for single rooms run between 40-65 USD nightly based on accommodation quality. Mountain guesthouses in Theth National Park charge around 40 USD while upscale hotels in Tirana or Saranda may add up to 65 USD. Tour statistics show 50% of travelers choose shared rooms to avoid these fees. One TourRadar traveler noted "The guesthouses were very welcoming and run by lovely families" making shared spaces a comfortable choice.
How easy is it to get around Albania as a solo traveler on guided tour?
Guided tours handle all transport details from Lake Koman boat rides to minibus journeys through the Albanian Alps. Your guide manages transfers between major sites including Butrint National Park Gjirokaster Castle and Berat's UNESCO areas. As one TourRadar traveler confirmed: "Everything went very smooth and whenever I needed help Birkena was always available and ready to help me so I never felt lost."
