5.00Our guide, Martin, created an amazing day. We took backroads from Tirana to Berat, allowing a first time visitor to Albania to see the real Albanian landscape. We enjoyed Berat, but were equally pleased to change course and visit a winery and later a restaurant by a lake. A great day, easy pace and highly recommended. Tirana

5.00We had a wonderful day out with extra-ordinary attention to our preferences by our guide, Martin. We took the back roads to Berat from Tirana, allowing us to see details that would merely wizzed by had we taken a busy route. We saw everything we wanted, and customized winery visit and a meal at a lakeside Albanian restaurant. Perfect day
Best of Albania

5.00We used this tour operator for airport pickup and another tour. We had such a great experience that we messaged to see if he had any more availability for another tour. This was just amazing info as the first one. We loved all of the history lessons and the food he recommended was some of the best we had on our whole vacation! We also had him for airport drop off. He was always on time and provided water for everyone and even little treats for our children. If we’re ever in the area we would definitely use him again and highly recommend!
We had the best possible experience with Albania by Eden!

5.00Martin is an exceptionally knowledgeable and warm-hearted guide. Although we only had one full day for sightseeing, we made the most of our time and thoroughly enjoyed a day trip from Tirana to Butrint. He shared fascinating insights into Albania’s history, culture, and even current affairs, making the journey not only fun but truly enriching. He has a great sense of humour, and he even took us to a local restaurant that only the locals know about — it was perfect. If you’re looking for a tour in Albania, don’t hesitate to choose him!

5.00Martin is a great guide, super friendly and has excellent English. I asked him to do a very long drive late at night and it was no problem for him, he arrived promptly and without issue. He has excellent local knowledge and was able to provide recommendations and local insight to Albania. I will be passing his information on to other travellers that visit Albania.
