5.00Funny as it may seem - I left with a huge smile, a belly full of great Albanian cuisine, and some killer pics. Our tour guide was an incredible and insightful individual, with a unique personality, a polyglot, and perhaps one of Albania’s greatest experts in the fields of history, culture and tourism.
Great value, and very informative!

4.00We very much enjoyed this day trip. Everything was well-organized, the group size was not too big, the van was nice, and all the stops were interesting. Tour guide Bledi spoke fluent English and he did a good job explaining what we were seeing. He also answered our many questions about the more recent history of Albania, and about things we noticed along the way. The day before, we had visited BunkArt, which had left us totally befuddled about Albania's history, but thanks to this tour we could start to understand this beautiful country and its people a bit better. Bledi also gave us great lunch and snack recommendations in Berat and at Lake Belsh. All in all, we were super happy and felt like it was time and money very well spent.

5.00Very good excursion, 100% recommended. The guide spoke pretty good English even for mid-level Spaniards. We recommended a very good place to eat in Berat and also recommended the dishes. A hit. The place is called çuçi and although it is a very normal place the food is very good and cheap.
An exceptional tour guide

4.00Long day but got to see 3 places. Tour leader had a lot of information to share. Tour was in 2 languages which made it seem like a lot.
Great experience

5.00We had an excellent experience with our Bledi guide. The drive to Berat and Durres has been quiet because of the good driving of the driver. Bledi is a very well-trained professional in history, politics and very knowledgeable about the day-to-day life of Albania. We made nice excursions with the whole group and received good recommendations. Thank you very much
