North & South Albania: A 5 Day Tour

This tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, and the itinerary allowed us to see the best of Albania in a short amount of time.What truly made this trip special was our guide, Anest. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, always ready to answer questions and share interesting stories about Albanian culture, history, and local life. Transportation was comfortable, accommodations were well selected, and the pace of the tour was perfect. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Albania. Thanks to Anest, this journey was not just a tour, but a truly unforgettable experience!

A fantastic tour- we saw and learnt so much in 5 days, with a real variety of history, culture , food, scenery, beach … and adorable cats & dogs. Our guide Anest was a fountain of knowledge, and explained things very well- he seemed to know everything about everything. Very friendly , and his English was excellent . Hotels were very good. Some days had quite a lot of driving, but only to be expected when we covered so much of Albania. Would highly recommend- so much less stressful than hiring a car. We were a middle- aged couple, and then there were two younger single people in the tour- we all got on very well, so would be a fab trip for single people.

El tour de 5 días por el norte y el sur de Albania fue una experiencia excelente. El itinerario estuvo bien organizado y permitió descubrir paisajes impresionantes, ciudades con mucha historia y la auténtica cultura local. Nuestro guía, Henry, fue muy profesional, amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, lo que hizo el viaje aún más agradable. El ritmo del tour fue cómodo y bien equilibrado. Sin duda, una muy buena opción para conocer Albania en poco tiempo.

I really enjoyed my 5 days in Albania. It was my first time there and everything was well organized. The itinerary was easy to follow and gave a good mix of culture, history, and nature. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth it.

My 5 days in Albania were amazing. It was my first time in the country, and I loved exploring both the mountains in the north and the coastline in the south. The days were well organized, with plenty of opportunities to see historical sites, enjoy local food, and take in the beautiful scenery. The pace was perfect, not rushed, and I felt I really got to experience the country. Definitely a trip I’ll remember.

Overall, the trip was great, and we were able to see the fantastic blue eye of Theth. We loved Ksamil and the Albanian Riviera also. Gjirokastra is very nice and lots of history behind it. Our tour guide, Anest, was excellent, always attentive and kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. We will go back to visit Albania again. The food was amazing too!!

Thank you Albania Inbound for offering such interesting and beautiful tours in Albania. The communication with the company was fast and clear. We were offered multiple options from day trips, multi day trips and also Balkan trips. We chose a 5 day trip North & South Albania. Our personal travel agent (Henri, from the company) arranged everything for us and was quick to respond to our inquiries. The tour was one of the best tours we have ever done. The small group of 8 people made this experience more personal and memorable. This was one of the best travels ever. Big thanks to Henri and Noli (the tour guide).

Really good experience and professional service.👍

1st class tour operator. We did the 5 day north and south Albania tour, which was a great way to see a lot of the country.

Our tour guide was Anest, who was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the country – history, culture, current situation, food and drink etc.

Nothing was too much trouble, and he made sure we enjoyed the trip.

Inevitably there is quite a bit of driving, but the roads are pretty good (especially compared to those here in the UK), and he drove well. The scenery was stunning.

We stayed in various hotels, and they were all fine, some very new. The whole country is gearing up for tourism, with investment in high quality infrastructure.

Finally, the country is safe. I have travelled in many countries around the world and Albania is certainly a safe place for tourists. This is because the culture is to welcome visitors, and as the country continues to develop from a dark past, the people appreciate the benefit of tourism to their economy.

Thank you Albania Inbound for the exellent and professional service. The response from the company (Henri our travel agent) was very fast and clear. We had the best time in Albania. The group was 8 people, small group and we were very lucky that we all got along togather and became friends. The hotels were very nice in prime locations. One of the best travels I ever had. Big thank you to Noli for being the best tour guide ever.

Amazing tour! We covered a lot of places and had a great time. The tour guide took care of everything. Would highly recommend it!

We enjoyed this five day tour very much. Anest is good driver and an excellent guide. He has been very helpful in everything we are asking for. We highly recommend him if you are interested in visiting Albania.

Ich habe diese Tour gebucht, um möglichst viel zu sehen in einer Woche Albanien und ich wollte kein Auto mieten. Das Unternehmen macht einen super Job, die Tour ist super aufgeteilt. Unser Guide „Anest“ war genial. Er hat uns viel über Albanien erzählt und uns das Land näher gebracht. Die Hotels waren gut ausgesucht und die Standorte der Unterkunft immer sehr zentral gelegen. TOP. Anest hat uns tolle Restaurants gezeigt, in denen man einheimische Kost probieren konnte. Ich würde diese Tour weiterempfehlen. Es hat von allem etwas und eigene Wünsche können eingebracht werden. Von meiner Seite: „alles Wunderbar“

our guide anest , his love of his country his pride in his history and hos knowledge about people places amd things made it an amazing and informative 5 days

We went as a couple on our own it was absolutely brilliant. The tour really allowed us to experience the highlights of Albania. Our guide Anest spoke fluent English he was great company very knowledgeable and above all a really good driver ( rare in Albania!)

I would highly recommend contacting Albania Inbound regarding tour options, you choose and they arrange!

Good value, great places amazing food and lovely people.

Los conductores Enri y Toni fueron excelentes. Con Enri pasamos 4 días, muy buenos hoteles y guias

We had limited time but wanted to visit specific places, and this tour delivered. Theth was a highlight, and traveling from North to South was an adventure. The hotels were great, and the scenic stops, especially Berat, were stunning.

From hiking to wine tasting, mountains to beaches, the tour had a bit of everything. Rey ensured we were comfortable throughout, and his driving skills were top-notch! We had ample time at each stop, and thanks to Rey, never a dull moment. It was an amazing experience!

We had an amazing 5-day private tour that was perfectly organized.

Accommodation: The hotels were excellent, comfortable, and full of local charm. Our stay in Theth is memorable with homemade breakfast including homemade butter and pettulla (fried dumpling).

Driver/Tour Guide: Henri, our guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and a great driver. He made our trip truly special. Lots of interesting insight he shared and nice conversation along the way.

Highlights: We explored vibrant cities, stunning landscapes, traditional markets, beautiful beaches, and a renowned national park and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Each day was filled with unforgettable experiences.

Overall, this tour was a fantastic way to see the best of the country in just five days. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time with out guide Henri, he was very patient with us and sent us to several sites extra from the itinerary. We saw all the best sites: Theth,the riviera, Gjirokastra, Ksamil etc. I highly recommend taking this 5 day journey. Worth every penny!!!!!!

Great tour to have an overview of Albania from north to south. Those were very busy days, covering a large number of sites. Thanks to the energy and passion of our guide Henri, those days were very pleasant. Henri has passion for his country and was flexible to accommodate our needs and expectations.

We customised our family trip to Albania with this company and really enjoyed it! Nolan (our guide, local expert, chauffeur, good humoured all-rounder) demonstrated resourcefulness beyond his experience by supporting us throughout the tour, ensuring it was a smooth process as we transitioned between locations without complaint.

Nolan is open to foreigners and full of helpful tips and pieces of information related to the sights and happenings. We felt confident as he is prompt, attentive and knows his way around. He would offer WiFi hotspots, meal suggestions, alternative routes to optimise time and destinations and reassured us as visitors to a new country.

We learned a lot about local practices and saw unexplored and off the beaten track areas with Nolan. Wish you all the success ahead as you share beautiful elements of your country with others – and balance your education and work with skill.

We had a wonderful trip with Albania travel and Tours. Our guide ‘Nolan’ was so helpful and we were able to cover all the places as per Itenerary without missing any places.The team was very helpful in customizing the itinerary as per our wish and the trip was well planned and executed.

My family booked the 5-day tour so that we could make the most of our time and see as much of Albania as possible. Henri was a great tour guide and worked hard to ensure that we were comfortable and enjoyed our journey. He was informative and took us to places we would not have discovered on our own. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves exploring and seeing all that Albania has to offer.

We had limited days and wanted to visit some specific places which were included in this tour.. Theth was one of them.. From North to South was definitely an adventure.. Hotels were great, the stops were scenic.. Berat was one of my favourites.!

From long drives, to hiking and wine tasting.. Mountains to beaches.. This tour included a lil bit of everything..

Henri from the start till the end made sure we were well taken care off.. Even though we were on the road for long hours, the journey was comfortable.. An extra star for Henri’s driving skills!!!

We had enough of time at every place.. Thanks to Henri – Never a dull moment! We had the best time!!
