5.00We spent just over a week in Albania and wanted to make the most of our time there. Ari offered us 4 customised trips which allowed us to see the highlights of the country (Albania riviera, Vlore, Llogara pass, Ksamil, Gjirokaster, Berat etc…) which included some transfer tours. It was a great way to discover Albania and its rich history, getting to know lovely Ari along the way, and making the most of our short visit. Thank you!
Wonderful Trip

5.00No one could make the trip as wonderful as it was except Ari. He knows the history of the country so well and he was a thoroughbred professional. He was very friendly and gave us enough time to enjoy the views and sceneries.
Great Albania customized tour with Ari!

The Best in Albania

5.00I've been on so many tours but this one in Albania is simply the best. I’ve easily booked a 4-day customised tour with Ari, the operator and tour guide of A Tour To Remember. It was easy to negotiate things especially the budget of the trip and places and things you may want to visit to be included in the itinerary. Some of the best parts of the was driving along the coastline, watching the beautiful sunset in Lekuresi Castle overviewing Saranda, being mesmerized with the mytical beuaty of the blue eye, short hike on Gamti Mountain to witness the magnificent and relazing view of Bovilla Lake, admiring the beautifully preserved ottoman houses in Berat and shopping in the old towns of Gjirokaster and Kruja, the city above the sky. But to be honest no place is a waste in the trip, everything was worth visiting. The experience I had with Ari, was like no other. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Albania, and he made sure to bring me to all the best spots that I should not miss during my stay in his country. You can sense how passionate he is on how he talks anything about Albania. His enthusiasm for the country was infectious, and I really had a great time! Oh and did I mention that the man is really a God of photography? So no worries with your travel photos as each memory is covered by this great talented man. Ari has been an amazing guide, driver, interpreter, and but most importantly and unexpectedly being my new best friend in another country. Come visit Albania and dont hesitate to book your trip with A Tour to Remember.

5.00I have been doing lots of Tours in the recent years, but I never found myself good enough. This experience was amazing and if I have to give my opinion based on previous experiences with other companies and with Ari(the tour guide that was present here) then I would advise everyone to go with him as he makes the experience enjoyable & lots of fun 😊
Amazing eperience with a true ambassador of Albania!

5.00If you are planning to visit Albania just go with Ari otherwise you will be disappointed! He is very knowledgeable, and a true ambassador for Albania. He asked us about our plans and took the time to create a custom tour for us! I am sharing with you just a part of our custom tour as we received it from Ari: "- i will pick you up at your accommodation and we will start driving along the coastline (Albanian Riviera) We will be able to stop by any spot that you would like to take picture. -We will drive up the mountain to the National park of Llogara amd enjoy the view watching the coast from top of mountain. -after that we will stop by at a restaurant and enjoy the delcious yougurt with honey that the local make. -We can have lunch at any time and any place. - After Llogara Park we will head to Vlora city, stop for a coffee break, take a walk around. -The last place to visit is Zverneci monastery which is not far from Vlora city. -Then time to go to Tirana airport." We had such a great time in Albania with Ari and we will reach out to him for our next trip in the Balkans.
An unforgettable experience!

5.00I booked 2 separate tours and planned them months in advance. Ari, the travel guide, was extremely helpful throughout the entire duration prior, during, and after our tours. He shared his thoughts and knowledge on the country and helped us customize every part of the tours. We felt secure and safe throughout the whole time as Ari is a true gentleman! It was an amazing experience. Thank you, Ari!

5.00The tour was very nice. We were able to see most of the attractions in just half day. Ari was very help and has very good suggestions for food and shopping. We were able to see 3 different cities in one day. The location and the food of the restaurant which was next to the castle were amazing. He told us about the history behind each place. Thank you Ari
