A truly wonderful day out of the city!

5.00I could not more highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Armela, went above and beyond with her generosity and kindness, not to mention the lovely sights and interesting insight she provided into Albanian history and culture. She was charming, funny, and also really great with the young kids in our group! The castle village was beautiful, the views from the restaurant incomparable, and the town of Berat utterly charming. I also felt very lucky with our group, just a lovely bunch of humans. Despite feeling under the weather myself, I had a fantastic day. Whether you’re visiting Albania for a couple days or an extended trip, this tour is a must-do!

5.00Well organised even if I was not! Guide was great Armela and local girl to Berat with lots of pride of the area I liked that. Few things happened during the trip not of her control and she handled it like a pro and kept the show on the road. Highly recommend and the wine tasting was great with family run resturant with stunning views. Beware of Raki it has some.fire in it ))
Perfect day

5.00I highly recommend this tour! Armela is a fantastic guide and my family and I had a wonderful time! The tour of Berat Castle was interesting and had fantastic views. We had some amazing food for lunch paired with delicious Albanian wine. The restaurant staff was fun and friendly too. We also got to explore the newer section of Berat below the castle. It was an overall wonderful day!! As a side note, they will also make special accommodations for people with various diets and adjust the activities based on what the group would like to do.
Good.

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic day on the tour with Armela—everything we hoped for and more. From being picked up in comfortable transport, we enjoyed a relaxing stop at the scenic lake by Belshi Lake, followed by a breathtaking visit to the historic Berat Castle and wandering through the charming old town of Berat. Armela’s knowledge and enthusiasm brought every landmark to life—she explained the history clearly, answered all our questions, and kept the pace just right so we never felt rushed. The lunch and wine-tasting was a standout: delicious local food/wines/raki and warm hospitality was the perfect way to cap a day full of discovery. Everything was very well organised from start to finish. If you're looking for a day tour that combines nature, history and authentic Albanian cuisine—with a fantastic guide—this one hits the mark. Highly recommend it!
Berat experience, good for a short time stay to enjoy somewhere outside of Tirana.

5.00We went on the Berat tour with the winery and Lake Belashi. We loved every minute. And the minibus was super nice. Our guide, Mela, was great! I am so glad that we didn't try and do this on our own.
