    An unforgettable hiking experience with LIT Travel & Tours! Our hiking tour through the Albanian Alps with LIT Travel & Tours was an fantastic adventure – it couldn’t have been better! From the first contact to the final stage, everything was exceptionally well organized: professional, reliable, and with a wonderfully personal touch. A special thank you goes to our guide Bled, whose warmth, attentiveness, and helpfulness made the tour a true highlight for all of us – especially for our two teenagers. He connected with them so well and enriched our experience with fascinating stories, deep local knowledge, and his genuine passion for the region. Thanks to him, we didn’t just witness breathtaking landscapes but also gained meaningful insights into the culture and traditions of Northern Albania. The tour struck a perfect balance between physical activity, nature, and cultural exchange. Each stage was thoughtfully planned, and while the accommodations were basic, they were authentic, cozy, and exactly what we had hoped for. A big thank you also to Esmeralda from LIT Travel & Tours, who supported us with patience and kindness throughout the planning process. This was an unforgettable journey for our entire family. We wholeheartedly recommend LIT Travel & Tours to anyone who loves nature, hiking, and genuine experiences!

    Olivia

    Asked on April 2nd, 2025

    Do I understand correctly that if we are flying into Albania from Italy we would need to arrive the night before (ie Day 0) to make the Day 1 pickup? Similarly we would either need to fly out evening of Day 7 or book an overnight hotel to fly out Day 8. If above is correct any hotel suggestions to accommodate pickup? Can you advise cost if this were just wife/self?

    • LIT Travel and Tours OperatorWritten April 2025

      Starting time can be arranged even at starting day, that means even if you fly in the morning we can pick you up directly from the airport. (Of-Course not later than 12:00) For the last day you can fly in the evening of the last day too. You can choose your pickup Location Between: Any Hotel near Airport or in Tirana City, no extra charge for pick up service. The price will not change even if you are only 2 persons, you and Wife.

      I understand that you will be able to pick up us from hotel for trip if booked for 17 -23 of May. Our flight back from Tirana is in evening at 20.45 on 23 of May so I wonder if you can drop us back to the airport after trip.

    • LIT Travel and Tours OperatorWritten March 2025

      Yes we can pick you up at your stay in Tirana and Drop you off in Airport. Its easily doable.
