5.00An excursion between the mountains in Kruja and the sea in Durres, a very available guide, who takes the time to stop by car to visit temples, observe the panorama of cities, explain the history during the visit of the castle and very happy to discover the culture of his country. A very active and rich day.
Perfect tour

5.00Skerdi was a fantastic host who was attentive to me needs. The tour moved at a great pace. Kruja Castle and the museum were fantastic. The vista from the castle was particularly beautiful.
Nice but rushed

3.00Both Kruja Castle and the museum were great, and there was a lot of information about Albania history. Durness was pretty. Unfortunately our guide seemed to need to be back in Tirana for another pickup so we were rushed through the whole thing, and had no time for food or drink, we had just 20 mins in both places free time.
Great way to see two locations in short time

4.00Our guide Adi was wonderful and made the trip enjoyable and informative. The Kruja castle and museum were the best part of the tour, but we did also enjoy the stop in Durres. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is the amount of time spent driving between locations. While Adi did continue to teach us about the surrounding areas we drove through, we would have preferred to have visited only one of the 2 locations and had a more in-depth experience.
Very interesting history of Albania
