5.00Kevin went above and beyond, he was very accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The tour was great, we managed to cover a 12 hour tour of southern Albania. I would definitely recommend to get in touch with Kevin if you ever visit Albania!

5.00I pre-warned my tour guide about my needs (wheelchair user) when he reached out to me a couple of days before the tour started. He (Kevi) planned the tour around my needs. Kevi was very pleasant and very knowledgeable about the Albania history
Thank You for the amazing Trip and Hospitality!

5.00This is the 2nd tour we book with Visitious, this time Kevin was our guide, a wonderful intelligent and very very informed Guide. Kevin was a very careful driver, he always stayed within the speed limit. always asked us if we were comfortable through out the drive...Just Amazing! After arriving we were hit by the stunning beauty of Berat, Kevin explained us the history and the cultural impact Berat has in all of Albania, Belsh and Durres were also very beautiful but i would say that Berat was the Highlight of the trip. 10/10 would recommend as they are very very careful the experience goes perfect down to the last detail! Thank you Visitious Tours.
Good visits, but not as expected

3.00The 2 main stops are well worth visiting. First to Durres to see the remains of the amphitheatre, and then a short visit to a remarkable beach (Not to swim!!). Then a fairly lengthy ride to Berat, wherenthe Castle is superb, as were the houses in the village. It is a lengthy trip, but well worth it. You will doubtless be wondering why I have only given it 3 stars. We booked a Private Tour (see title) and were more than a little surprised to find someone else sitting in the front seat. Bad enough, but made worse by the driver/guide spending 70% of his time talking to this unknown passenger. All the reminders we had had referred to a private tour, which to most people would mean no one not in your group. Also, we had booked a 9am departure and this was on everything we had from Viator. The evening before we had a message from the driver to say pickup was at 8.30. Why? No choice given. There was an early problem with the vehicle but this was quickly solved and is not reflected in the above. So ...... if you are booking a so called private tour, do check before you go. We were really disappointed and feel that we have paid over the odds.
Kids LOVE this.

5.00We went on this day trip with Jolaos and he made sure our family had the best time possible. My kids enjoyed the car ride with different info about history and especially Skenderbeg and bis war stories. We sang to different Albanian song along the way and we enjoyed visiting Berat but the highlight was our afternoon by the beach. Wife and I spent our time eating by the seaside while the kids played. This single day was a holiday on its own.

5.00Fun day in Albania with Visitious exploring Berat , Belsh and Durres. We did some sightseeing and enjoyed the afternoon by the beach. Learned a lot about the history and had the opportunity to relax and enjoy a seaside lunch. Definitely reccomend if you want to fit as much as possible within a day without it becoming tired.
It was a truly memorable experience!

5.00Berat was lovely and along the drive saw a lot of nice views around Belsh,Berat and Durres. I wish went there during summer cause apparently you get a free afternoon by the beach before your guide drives you back.
