    It was amazing. Altin was so knowledgeable, so helpful and on hand to answer any questions and make recommendations. I highly recommend him if you’d live to discover Kruja!

    Very nice experience in Kruja. The scenery and the city are beautiful. Our guide Bris was very kind; he knew his country and its history very well and made a lot of effort to pass on his knowledge. Visit not to be missed

  • Poor tour company

    Krmndy,Feb 17, 2026

    The tour guide was fine, Kruja was great but the company and its communication is very poor. We did not hear until 8am in the morning about the pick up time and location despite us contacting the company the day before. I spend two hours with trip advisor in the morning to check if the tour is even going ahead. Given that the booking instructions state that you could be picked up 45 minutes before , the communication regarding pick up Time and location should be day before snd not an hour before the pick up time. Our group was also majority Italian speaking so we felt that we got two minutes of English tour for every 15 minutes in Italy. The tour guide did his best but the tour company very poor. If I can rate the tour company, I will rate them ZERO.

  • Great trip with guide Altin
