    Frankly, I didn't know what I was going to find when I travelled through Albania. I was pleasantly surprised when I travelled through a large part of the country. As a country, it has a lot of culture and history, incredible landscapes (from mountains to Mediterranean beaches similar to those in Spain), very nice people who are very open to tourists and spectacular food. I can only recommend travelling to Albania, especially now that it has not yet suffered the effects of mass tourism that we know in other European countries. As for the organisation of the trip by the agency '***', they were involved from the first moment, offering me all kinds of itineraries and alternatives for travelling within Albania. Realy it was a great experince and amazing guide and driver , we suggest this tour and company very proffesional.

  • Unacceptable Service from Balkan Pearls Tour Company; Alketa and Almar

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    1.00

    I recently purchased a tour package from the Balkan Pearls Tour Company, particularly through Alketa and Almar. I was extremely disappointed with the level of service I received. The tour was scheduled on days when the museum and sites we were supposed to visit were closed, and the company failed to inform me of these closures beforehand. As a result, I was unable to view the artifacts and exhibits that I had paid to see. This not only wasted my time but also my money. I am extremely dissatisfied with the lack of communication and failure to provide the service that was advertised and paid for. I only requested half the money back for the tour package, but still received no explanation for why I was not informed of the museum closures before my trip, and also received no money back. The failure of the company to provide the service that was advertised and paid for is unacceptable and I would urge anyone considering purchasing a tour package from Balkan Pearls, Alketa or Almar, to think twice.
