    Amazing tour to see off the beaten paths of Albania. I was part of a small group tour last September and I totally enjoyed the places we visit in South Albania. Our guide was very informative and he gave us a great introduction of Albania. Hotel choices and transportation were very comfortable. Totally recommended to travellers who like slow travel mode.

    It was a great trip, we got to see many different sides of Albania! We were lucky with our amazing guide. He had a lot of knowledge about the different areas of Berat and the Lagoon, and was overall a great guy. Great driver too! The national park was beautiful with many birds. Berat city was also beautiful, especially the castle and old town buildings. If you enjoy both nature and architecture, this trip is highly recommended!

    Great tour brought to life by our excellent tour guide gezim. Excellent variety of cultural sites and nature and outdoors. Saw the major sites but also the remote and less visited ones. Hotels generally excellent including some interesting family run businesses, though hotel in Tirana less good. Best time to book the tour is spring or autumn - relatively few people book in summer so our small group tour became a private tour, which was less good for us because we enjoy the company of fellow travellers.
