We booked the tour in English because a German one was not offered. The guide has told a lot about the history of Albania. And took very good care of us. We had slightly different expectations from the places visited. All in all it was a nice tour with wonderful views in great weather.

Beautiful views from the mountain top. The Skanderbeg museum was very well done. My guide, Mario, was very knowledgeable and a good conversation while driving. Had a great time.

Mario was an excellent guide, turned up on time. He went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. He was warm and friendly and could not do enough for us. We did not hesitate to book another trip with him. His recommendations on restaurants to visit were invaluable. We will definitely be booking trips with him again on our next visit. Made our holiday memorable. Thank you Mario

Our tour guide was called Mario. Within minutes of getting into his car he made us feel welcome . Our journey to Kruja was pleasant and he answered any questions we had. Mario was very informative and spoke very good English. He explained all about the history and religions in Albania and found him to be very knowledgeable. The caves where we lit a candle brought me to tears , I found it so emotional. The drive up the mountain was fun and plenty of photo opportunities. The museum in Kruja which told of the history of George was amazing as I don’t normally do museums! Stunning views ! The bazaar was very interesting and then Mario introduced us to taste some local dishes which were lovely. In total we were out about 8 hrs . We weren’t rushed at all and nothing was too much for our guide. Well done guys !!

The views were really awesome and the Tour guide was friendly, articulate, and knowledgeable. I got to see so many artifacts and learnt so much about the history of Albania. I also found the food to be quite tasty. I honestly would recommend the Tour to anyone who would like to have a good time and have something good to remember.

Kruja was an amazing day, and it was all thanks to our tour guide, Mario! He was like a walking encyclopedia of the city, making history come alive. We ended the day tired but well fed with lasting memories. Thank you.

We weren’t sure whether to book on to this trip but are so glad we did. We had Mario for our tour guide again and we were so pleased as we knew it would be amazing. Lovely small tour with just one other couple up to Kruja with stops along the way. We visited a few holy sites and the cave at the top of the mountain. On the way up Mario took some incredible photos on his amazing camera. We were treated to some coffee and candies as we admired the view and we then visited the cave, lit some candles and drank some holy water. We then came down to Kruja and walked around some shops - Mario made sure we visited some very authentic ones and then we went to the museum. We then all ate lunch together and the food was amazing. As always we were picked up and dropped off from the hotel. This tour was well worth the money.
