  • Daytrip to Tirana and the cable car

    We had a very nice day with Gledis. He sended us message about the pick up-point and -time in the evening before. Next morning he picked us up by the hotel. We saw the most important sights in Tirana and had some extra time for shopping. Then we went to the cable car and it was amazing! We were excited and a little bit afraid. When we came up to the mountain it was cloudy, so the wiev wasn’t anything to mention. After five and a half hours we were back at the hotel, both of us were very pleased. I recommend it very much!

    Interesting city. Guide nice and informative. A little more time to explore for yourself would have been nice. We didn't drive Cablecar. 15 € extra p.P. were too expensive for us.

    We had a good time with charismatic Mikel. He showed us the city of Tirana with a lot of history and tidbits about the buildings and history of the Albanian people. Climbed the pyramid and ended with a cable car up mountain Dajti. Overall great, relaxing experience, would recommend 👌
