What To Expect
Durres
Your day starts with a pickup by your tour guide, and then you’ll head towards Durrës. During the drive, your guide will share interesting facts and simple stories about Albania and the areas you pass. After about 1 hour, you’ll arrive in Durrës and begin a relaxed walking tour to feel the vibe of the city and learn about its history
Descending on foot, we visit one of the city's ancient towers, a restored structure that serves as a panoramic balcony offering a breathtaking 360° view of Durrës and the sea. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the fortifications that once protected this strategic port city.

5.00Finally got to see the longest beach in Albania on the last day in Albania. Durres is beautiful 😍, simply put. Golem beach is world class... enjoyed walking the promenade with hotels and variety of restaurants lined up on either side... beautiful beach area with millions of umbrellas and lazy chairs 😍😍

5.00I would say very enjoyable and Bladi, our tour guide's not just knowledgeable but the way he delivered the information about albania and its history as well as the places we visited was engaging and not boring. Not something that one just memorised and most of all he has a very nice sense of humour and very friendly and he's caring too especially to the elderly guests who were with us. Meti our driver drove safely. Thank you guys.
Nice tour

4.00Nice guide and a good customer expererience. In my opinion Golem is not a beautiful beach, Dürres, beter for us. Albania has other best places to visit. But the tour was very well organised, we had good comunication before the tour and we feel very well during the visit 'cause the guide was funny, atend and he gave us interesting information about the country!
Durres in June.
