    What an Epic Albanian Adventure with Skardy and Local Friends Albania! Seriously, if you're thinking about visiting Albania, you HAVE to go with Local Friends Albania, and if you can snag Skardy (Skerdi) as your guide, do it! My friends and I just wrapped up an incredible 6-day tour, and honestly, it was a whirlwind of amazingness. We saw so much, from ancient ruins that blew our minds to vibrant cities, stunning landscapes, and hidden spots we never would've found on our own. Every day was packed with new experiences, incredible stories, and genuine laughter thanks to Skardy. He didn't just show us around; he made us feel like we were visiting a friend's home, sharing his passion for Albania in a way that was totally infectious. This trip was seriously one for the books! A Little Heads-Up for Local Friends Albania

    Wow, we just had the best 6 day private tour of Albania, from the minute our guide Zeni picked us up to the moment he dropped us back in Tirane. From mountains, to lakes to seaside, beautiful castles, secret waterfalls, grand bazaars, daily surprises, stunning scenery, delicious food all presented with enthusiasm and showing the love for his country. We have both left a part of our heart in Albania, Zeni thank you thank you thank you!

    On this 6 day tour of Albania we had the opportunity to see us much of Albania as possible. Our guide was very gentle and very caring, but also very knowledgeable and very patient about his job, but also he loved his country. We were shown to great places to the most famous one in, but also hidden sports all around. I would highly recommend this tour with one day accident for everyone who is visiting Albania for the first time.

    Just got back from the 6-Day Tour and wow – what an experience! From stunning beaches to gorgeous mountain hikes, this trip was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We got to see a ton of cool places like Gjirokastër and Berat, and the guides were awesome – super friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the trip feel like we were hanging out with friends. They shared tons of interesting facts about Albania’s history and culture, and the food... absolutely delicious

Every destination had something unique to offer, from stunning UNESCO sites to breathtaking nature spots. Our guide made everything smooth and personal, giving us great insights and local recommendations. It felt like traveling with a friend rather than just a tour. Highly recommend it for couples looking to explore Albania in an authentic way!
