What To Expect
Rozafa Castle
We drive from Tirana towards Shkoder. Shkodra is the only mentioned Illyrian capital in the 3rd-2nd centuries B.C. Visiting Rozafa castle we will not only experience the supremacy the Illyrians would have feel over their enemies standing in such an imposing Castle, but will also admire breathtaking views 360 degrees over the valley, the two rivers Buna and Drin, the lake of Shkoder and the surrounding mountains.
We will take a walking tour in “Gjuhadol” a newly renovated pedestrian area of Italian and Austrian architectural influences, testimony to this city’s historic links with both these countries. Then we can nvisit the Marubi Museum (Optional) (master photographer of the end of 19th century) which houses an exposition of old prints. He took the first photograph in the Balkans in 1856. Marubi has left a wealth of 500 000 glass negatives. The selection of prints we will view, show people and life of the area nearly 2 centuries ago.

A great and very complete trip

5.00Everything was on wheels. Another company canceled the tour that same day in the morning, we called Aria travel and in less than 1 hour we were riding in the van on the way to Shköder. Jetmir our guide has been charming, very attentive and has fulfilled all our wishes and expectations. The trip has lasted longer than anticipated due to traffic and other matters and has had no problem explaining and teaching all the stops of our tour, always cheerful and close. I highly recommend this company.
Excellent attention and humane treatment

5.00It was a magnificent experience. We contracted two excursions with the agency: the first day, Lake Belshi and Berat, and the segundp, Krujë and Shkodër. The guide, Gleni, was very friendly throughout. He spoke Spanish very well and helped us to get to know the places visited and the Albanian history and culture. I recommend this company without any doubt.
Albania, Europe’s Best Secret

5.00Excellent tour company with very reasonable prices, almost too reasonable so was expecting a ride to famous places with a little information given but I was pleasantly surprised. We had the best tour guide I have ever had & I’ve been to 20 different countries. I signed up for tours because after I arrived it took me about 1 minute after getting in my friends car to decide there’s no way I was going to drive in Albania & I’ve driven in most of the countries I’ve visited. I only listed one tour but the first tour to Berati was so well done we signed up for the Two day tour to Gjirokastra and Saranda (Butrint was included) and the one day tour to Kruja & Shkroda. Having Gleni as a guide was like having your cousin or other family member show you around.
Must have

5.00The whole day was wonderful, and the tour guide Jetmir was just so great, and informative about all the areas we visited. Jetmir was probably the most outstanding guide that I have ever encountered. I will most certainly request his services again.
