- Peter· May 8th, 2025Our tour of Albania was very enjoyable with some great highlights: a very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guide; wonderful cities such as Tirane, Vlorë and Berat; and interesting choices of cultural and historical sites visited. Nevertheless, there were important shortcomings too: it’s wrong to claim it’s a 10-day tour as it’s really just 8 days as days 1&10 are just airport transfers; lunch breaks on several days went on for too long as it would have been better to spend more time in overnight stays; the hotel stays were too variable in quality in both the rooms offered and breakfast provided; one or two locations could easily have had 2 nights in them by swapping stays in other locations eg 2 nights in Gjirokastër and no nights in Korçë; and why was no WhatsApp group set up to help with communications?Show moreTrip date: April 2025

Asked on May 26th, 2025Can I join your June 13 10 day tour? Too late?

Cindy
Asked on May 25th, 2025Have no date in mind but wondered if you offer room share with another single (female) traveller if available? If not, what is the cost for single supplement?
- Albania Explorer DMCOperator•Written May 2025
Sorry we cannot interfere to find another lady to share the room. The extra for single supplement vary from 250€~450€ (july/august) and only if you pay cash Upon arrival. As well you can choose to have shorter tour like 7 nights /8 days, to make it 2 days less than the group. And pay less single supplement.

Cindy
Traveler•Written May 2025Many other tour companies will offer a room share if both parties agree. I do not think it is 'interference'. Has no one else ever asked for this? If I cut the trip short, what sites and activities will be missed?
- Albania Explorer DMCOperator•Written May 2025
After pandemic the single rooms are more common rather than sharing. If you will cut the tour like this you will miss Eastern part of Albania cities like: Permet, Korce, Pogradec and Elbasan. But on our experience 7 nights / 8 day tour is the best seller including all must to see and visit sites and cities in Albania.
