Unfortunatelly we do not provida invitation letters

Do you provide a supporting invitation letter for visa?

We would be happy to have you join us but we can not provide a visa invitation as it is not allowed for us.

We wanted to find out if we can extend our tour by 1 day to explore the Albania Riveria. Can you please let us know if there are more interesting attractions in this tour extension compared to Day 2 of your tour? If not, can you recommend any other tour extensions for 1-2 days? We are mostly interested in culture & outdoor activities. Also, one of us is a vegetarian (eggs ok; no fish / meat) - would the food options include anything more than salads / bread & cheese?

Regarding the vegetarian option, in most places you will have plenty of choices as Albania is becoming more aware of these options. If you are looking to add more days, I would suggest "Best of Albania – 6 days Multidays tour of Nature and Culture". We should keep in mind that the tours can be private or shared. The private option is more expensive but has a guaranteed departure. The shared option requires 4 participants at least.

Koman Lake, Valbona and Theth pickup in tirana right on time. met all timetables, like ferry, and up into the mountains early before the sun and crowds. amazingly knowledgeable guide Endri taught me so much about every aspect of Albanian history and culture and people...comfy accomodations and great meals, perfect pace up and over the Valbona pass making allowance for my short height and age (74). mountains so beautiful, blue eye pool so clear and refreshing. really enjoyed company of others playing uno and drinking homemade raki with one of our restaurant hosts in Thieth.. plenty of time to enjoy walking around Thieth. authentic lunch in old inn at Shkroder a highlight, well chosen..i wish the ferry had not been so crowded, standing room only with my bag fastened to the rail to save space. returned safely and in a timely manner to Tirana. would recommend this tour to everyone (who have mountain hiking experience, not for just flatland walkers).

I had a great time. On this type of trips, everything stands or falls with the guide. I can only speak highly of Xhulio, who did not only perform an excellent job, but his erudition about the Balkan history, it’s political, socio-economical, cultural situation and all sort of issues was simply overwhelming. The result was that we did chat and laugh and shared opinions, points of view and emotions the whole trip, thus killing time on long distances in a very enjoyable way. Grazie mille! Wim

Great tour and well organized. All of the hikes were picturesque and worthwhile. The accommodations were love. Our tour guide, Redon, was very knowledgeable about the area and the trails, he couldn't have been better. The only thing that could have been better was a take away lunch provided on the last day. With hiking, the 8am breakfast didn't last until 4:30 when we finally had a chance for food in Shkoder (I brought snacks, but I didn't want those, I wanted a meal, and I don't have a large appetite).
