Long but enjoyable trip!

5.00It was a lovely but long day. We started at 7am and I didn’t get back to my hotel until after 10pm. So if you’re okay with that the tour was a great way to see the countryside and learn more about the cities and countries. My driver was EPIC and we talked about life in two different parts of the world. It was really a lovely trip.
Amazing Day!

5.00A fantastic experience and highly recommended. Our guide, Petrit, picked us up and made the day very comfortable and enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable about each place. It was a very long day but that's because Tirana is very far from Skopje! However, it was worth it to get to Albania. The itinerary was perfect, just enough time in each place. Well worth it!
Excellent trip!!

5.00With our excellent guide we took a few hours driving to Ohrid and Tirana. I was pleasantly surprised of Ohrid. The view from the Ancient theatre to the lake is great. In Tirana we started from the central square, at the statue of Skanderbeg and spent the next two hours learning about the center of Tirana and the local sites. It is an interesting city. Do not forget to bring camera!!!
modern city Tirana

4.00i modified the itinerary to go Tirana direct and later stop by Ohrid. the journey to Tirana is long (6 hours drive). most of the road condition is ok except the part from Border to Elbasan. not lucky there were a few slow driving truck in front and costs a lot of time. Driver and guide are very professional which makes the trip much more easier. Tirana is a very modern city which contrast to my expectation. both countries are improving the roads.
