5.00We chose Berat tour for our anniversary, and it was the perfect decision. The city, known as the “city of a thousand windows,” has a magical charm with its beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. We also visited Belsh Lake and Durrës, but what made the day truly special was our guide, Adi. Through his engaging stories, he introduced us to Albanian traditions, culture, and history in a way that felt personal and memorable. By the end of the tour, it felt like we had gained a friend. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Albania!

5.00For my surprise it became a private tour, which was amazing! Adi was very knowledgeable, and very well informed about the places we visited. The time management was very good as well, allowing me to have some alone time also to explore the places after visiting the main attractions. Would certainly recommend the tour!
A must do tour on your trip to Albania!

Our guide, Adi, was very knowledgeable about the history and customs of Albania and he presented, explained and answered our questions enthusiastically, keeping us interested all day. It was a very hot day and Adi took account of that, going over and above to make us comfortable throughout the day. The places we visited were awe-inspiring. An excellent day. Thank you Adi.
