    Having Zeni as our personal guide for the tour was a huge bonus. His command of English was exemplary and his knowledge of places visited excellent. He was a skilful driver and made the whole experience appear seamless. Taking us to wonderful restaurants that he recommended gave us plenty of opportunities to sample some delicious Albanian food. He was polite and thoughtful at all times and we enjoyed his delightful sense of humour. The tour has made us determined to revisit Albania in future.

    I found the company on the Internet. I always organize personalized trips for us using a driver/guide. In discussions with the local agent, isuf, and following her suggestions, I then finalized the schedule to suit us. We were most interested in the history & culture of Albania so the tour was based around this. Loved the funky hotels. they took us to some lovely local restaurants. The whole trip was a success.

    We seemed to skip over things like extras, no wine tasting or boat trip even though it was an optional extra. Too many castles I think a few extra were added in and not enough of other cultural interaction

    It's so hard to pick just one thing, so I'm going to choose two. Firstly - the stunning landscapes and wild mountain roads. Secondly - the friendly and open people (the generally negative image held in the UK of Albania and its people couldn't be any further from the truth).
