5.00Saimir was a knowledeable guide, very professional with a sense of humour. We learnt a lot about the history of Albania and we're very impressed with the resilience of its people through history and how they're finding their way in their new reality. The old town is gorgeous and this is the first castle I've ever visited where people still live within the walls. We were also happy to support locals selling fruit and other goods along the way.
Highly recommended tour if you want to taste knowlege about Berat and Albania in general. Great experience!
