What To Expect
Kruja Castle
After breakfast drive to Kruja, centre of Albanian resistance against the Ottomans under our National Hero Scanderbeg. He kept the Ottoman armies from crossing into Western Europe for 25 years, thus earning the title “Athleta Christi” awarded by the pope of the time. We will visit the Skanderbeg Museum one of the best in the country and a rich Ethnographic Museum with almost all items being original from the end of the 19th century.
Pazari i Vjeter
Finally we make our way through Kruja’s famous Bazaar full of traditional handicrafts. this is a unique opportunity for you to watch the craftspeople making the products inside their workshop.

5.00We did the Kruje and Durres day tour with Endri and we had a great time! It felt as if we were on a day out among friends. Endri shared some information about the history and culture of Albania, drove us around all day. He had fantastic knowledge of Albania’s history but also shared some insight about Albanian culture and people. We had a lovely lunch too, The views were absolutely breathtaking! We would definitely recommend a tour with Endri! Thank you also for playing Albanian music for us on the way back at our request :)!

5.00We had 2 excellent trips with Endri (?) of Aria. We firstly enjoyed a combined day trip, visiting Kruja and Durres. From start to finish, we were impressed by the competence of our guide, his knowledge, and willingness to ensure we had a memorable day. We also had a wonderful lunch in Kruja. We were so impressed that we booked another trip for the following day, to Berat. Again, we felt it was an excellent tour. Berat was fascinating. Endri provided plenty of information about our visit, as he did about Albania. The scenery was lovely, and the pace was unhurried. Once again, we had a lovely lunch, this time in a winery. We would certainly recommend the company to anyone visiting Albania. Also, our guide added much to the 2 day's excursions.
Unbeatable

5.00The best experience with a guide we have ever had. It really is like an Albanian friend showing you his country and neighbouring countries. Our guide Jetmir (Miri) in addition to a great guide, professional and customer-oriented 200%, is a magnificent company. We did 3 tours with him (3 days) and we really felt sorry to say goodbye to him. We have had a great time and it was largely thanks to Miri. Not to mention helped us with a problem we had when we arrived and stayed with us until it was solved. Thank you very much from the heart and we hope to come back soon and meet new places in this wonderful country!
VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE
