    It was a great tour. My only criticism is there really wasn’t enough time build in to see all of the suggested place due to driving times. It probably should be a couple of days longer.

    Our overall experience was excellent. The itinerary was packed with lots to do and learn about Albania while also offering down time to relax and stroll around at our own pace. Communication with the organisers and guides of our trip was very easy and enjoyable. The guides were super lovely, accommodating and helpful- they were able to tailor our itinerary to include the hotels we liked and ensured we were ready to go with a pre-routed GPS.
