Beautiful Berat.

5.00Our day tip to Berat was excellent. Berat is a very beautiful city. Our guided tour, Denis, did a great job managing a full bus of 50+ people. Paul Schneider
The weather forecast wasn't good, so we could go ahead to Belsh...

4.00The weather forecast wasn’t good, so it was nice to go ahead to Belsh (though it didn’t rain until the bus home after all). Our guide Lora was in plain English, which even those of us who don't know much English could understand to a certain extent. The view was amazing and we had a great time.
Amazing tour of Berat

5.00I did a day trip from Tirana to Berat and Bëlshi Lake with Klajdi, and it was an absolutely brilliant experience. The tour was around 8 hours and covered a lot, including Bëlshi Lake, the incredible Berat Castle, and the beautiful town of Berat itself. Klajdi was an exceptionally knowledgeable guide who really brought each place to life. A truly stunning day trip that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Albania.
Very good!

5.00Everything was great! Our guide Paola was fantastic, very kind, helpful and always smiling. The trip was well organized with enough time to visit all the spots, plus Paola guided us through the Berat castle, explaining a bit of its history. We just had some issue in the beginning because some customer was in late and we had to wait a lot for them. That didn't depend by the organizer though, but just by people showing no respect for the others. Anyway, apart from that everything was great.
Interesting trip to Berat.

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.
