Drive a 4x4 Off-Road in the Tirana Valleys
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
You won't believe you are still officially in Tirana on this day trip! We're going to show you forgotten villages and incredible views, and all just a few kilometres from the city!
You'll get to drive the legendary Suzuki Jimny on sometimes challenging dirt trails. These amazing little cars are very simple to drive, with an automatic transmission. You don't need any previous experience of driving off road to enjoy the day.
Our route will take us through the beautiful and little-known Tirana Valleys. This area is rarely visited by tourists due to the difficulties of getting around (there are few asphalt roads). You can expect incredible scenery and forgotten villages.
This is a long but rewarding day, with a 09.00 pick-up from Mother Teresa Square (to avoid getting caught in Tirana's notorious congestion!). We'll aim to get you back around 17.00, but sometimes the trip runs a little late due to traffic.

5.00I would really recommend the tour and Kreshnik as a guide. You will see the beautiful scenery around the hills and valleys, have plenty of interesting historical and cultural information. We would make an other tour with him for sure.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable 4x4 Adventure in Tirana We had the most incredible day on our 4x4 adventure in Tirana. From start to finish, the communication and organisation from the tour company were exceptional—professional, clear, and so accommodating. A huge shout-out to Nik, our guide, who truly made the experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the area was unbelievable — from the local geography to the wild herbs growing along the trails, he brought every part of the journey to life. His instructions were absolutely first class, making us feel confident and safe throughout the entire experience. The cars themselves were fantastic to drive—powerful, comfortable, and perfect for the terrain. Every stop along the way was a highlight. The hospitality of the people we met was genuine and warm, the coffee was fantastic, and the food was some of the best we’ve had on our trip. It felt like a real taste of Albania. If you're in Tirana and looking for a memorable, authentic and exciting experience, this 4x4 tour is an absolute must. We couldn’t recommend it more highly!

5.00We have booked a day trip with a group of friends during our Tirana visit to experience the countryside of Albania. We were a bit skeptical at first but it turned out to be a real 4x4 tour, we all enjoyed the tour very much. We have had lots of fun with the tourguides Edi and Genti, with guiding during driving and talks about various topics. I would recommend this tour during a visit to Albania, great way to explore the countryside!
Lada off road experience

5.00Done this driving experience in August this year and have to say it was one of the most thrilling experiences I done on my trip around Europe, the owner Ed firstly collected me from my hotel and took me to the base, from there we were given clear instructions on how to drive the Ladas, Genti was my guide as we took the Lada off road and he kept me right, more so he was a wealth of knowledge about the local area and the history of Albania which I found very interesting, overall I really really enjoyed this experience and would 100% do it again.
Just a great experience and adventure.

5.00It was just a great experience altogether. Eddy and Ganthy were great guides and could tell us a lot about the area and its history. The tour was awesome, driving these 4x4’s in the mountains was both easy and adventurous. Could definitely recommend anyone to choose this activity for a day trip.
