    Very happy with the 4 day tour of Albania. Our tour guide/driver Giulio had a very broad knowledge and understanding of Albanian history and culture. It was a private tour with just my husband and tour guide which we appreciated as the tour was flexible to our needs. Giulio provided interesting information about each area we visited and gave us ample free time to explore on our own. We also appreciated his confident and safe driving as well as his easy going and good company. Accommodation was of a very high standard and well located, some with great views. The hotel in Berat was within the castle walls which was lovely. All hotels provided a quality breakfast. Thank you to Friends Of Albania for a well organised, interesting tour with very good communication at all times.

    Absolutely fantastic. We became friends at the end and learned so much about Albania. I would put 10 stars if there was the option. Skerdi is polite, professional and very funny.

    This 4-day North to South trip with Local Friends in Albania was a great introduction to the country. Giulio, the knowledgeable guide, shared many stories about Albania’s history. I highly recommend this small tour group; the hotels were great, and I enjoyed visiting the castles. There’s a lot to see, and I wish I had more time.

    Our family (me, my husband, and our little one) had an amazing experience on this 4-day tour in Albania! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and we felt completely taken care of. Skerdi, our guide, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, especially with our child. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip, sharing fascinating stories about Albania’s history, culture, and traditions while also keeping things light and fun. The itinerary was a perfect mix of sightseeing, nature, and delicious local food. We explored stunning landscapes, charming old towns, and hidden gems that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Every day was an adventure, and we left with so many wonderful memories. If you’re looking for a tour that combines history, culture, and genuine hospitality, this is the one! Thank you, Skerdi, for making our trip so special—we truly came as customers and left as friends!
