    When I visit a new country. I love to see as much as possible, meet and interact with the locals, and eat the local food. This trip was all of that, and more! Moza, my guide to Albania, was fabulous! We talked about everything from history, to food…to living in todays Albania. I learned much…experienced much…and loved every minute! Thanks to Good Albania!

    Erika

    Asked on July 11th, 2023

    If I am the only one to book do I pay extra to still be able to travel at this time? I am from Australia and this is the only date I can travel. Am I able to transfer to another tour operating at this time?

      TravelerWritten July 2023

      Response time is so slow I now have doubts about the reliability of the tour operator. Will this tour give all it is advertising?

    • Good AlbaniaOperatorWritten July 2023

      Unfortunately our Albania: Local Food & UNESCO Heritage has not a guaranteed departure yet for the 18th of September. In case it ends up being the only one booked on this date, we have the option to run the tour with an additional fee of €. 440,00. Regarding a transfer to another tour operating at this time, we have reached out to my colleagues of TourRadar and they will get back to you on it.

      Thank you for your response. I am unlikely to book this tour as I do not want to spend the extra money if I am the only participant.

    Laurie

    Asked on June 27th, 2023

    The travel days are not itemised against the descriptions of the tour. Please explain. There are no days assigned to the towns being visited. Do they get changed around? What amount of travel time occurs for each day? It seems to be a lot of travelling between towns. I am looking at the Local Food and Unesco Heritage tour on Sept 18 to 23.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Good AlbaniaOperatorWritten June 2023

    Asked on August 6th, 2022

    Confirm availability and cost for 1 person single private room departing Sept 21, 2022. Is airport pick up included? Is airport drop off included? How many people are expected on this tour?

    Single supplement
    • Good AlbaniaOperatorWritten August 2022

      The pricing for 1 person in a single private room is of USD 1,410.67. Airport pick up is included indeed but the drop off is not. You can add it though during the booking process or I can add this to you when adding the date of the tour (price of drop off is USD 28.00). We highly advise to spend a couple of more days pre/post tour in the capital of Tirana as this tour just touches it on the first day. The Sept 21st departure is a guaranteed departure and we are capping this tour date at 8 travelers. Most likely you will be 5-6 travelers on tour.
