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

Excellent. Maximum use of time - 12 to 14 hour days -- for each of the 3 expensive days was ideal for me. Tour guide / driver was courteous to clients and 3rd parties. Cleverly accommodated the three mobile, younger clients and the 2 slower, older clients during walking tours. Very knowledgeable guide -- took us on a better walking tour of Orchid than a previous tour that I took with another tour company a week earlier.

  Could you please provide some more details and costs. We would like to upgrade the hotels and assume we will need to book a night in Tirana both before and after the tour?
- Go as Local Operator•Written September 2025
  The total for the private option would be 3950 euros for both.
