Customer Reviews

  • Best of Albania Explorer 10 days Tour - Guaranteed Departures reviewer 1
    · May 8th, 2025
    Our 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?
