    Excellent trip- highly recommend

    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.

    An unforgettable experience

    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.
