5.00We loved the tour guide. The place was beautiful! Paolo was very helpful and cheerful. The only thing was we started by 9 and it ended by 430 which delayed our other plans after this, so could have probably reached a bit earlier.
All was really good!! Good little hicking to see a really beautiful view!!

4.00Paula was a great tour guide and told us plenty of interesting facts about Albania on the long journey as well as introducing us to some Albanian music. The viewpoint, when we finally reached it, was breathtaking but the castle was underwhelming. The bazaar was interesting and the lovely weather helped tomake it an enjoyable trip. The downside was the terrible traffic on the way there. It too nearly 2 and 1/2 hours to reach our first destination. Not anyone's fault, but , nevertheless, a pain.
