Travellers' reviews about Albania

Food and drinks where excelent and whether and people was wery nice. Lot of history and nature sights.

Our local agent were very quick to respond to my enquiry about doing a walking holiday in Albania I told them the type of walking we were looking for and they built a bespoke programme for us, tweaking it following feedback from us. By going via a local agent like ***, we felt like we were in the hands of an agency that has first hand knowledge of the country. They even went above and beyond expectations by providing helpful information about locations to take the second part of our holiday. It was also good to be picked up from the airport when we arrived.

It would be next to impossible to imagine a better and more helpful guide-cum-driver than the one we had!

As this was a multiple country trip I was struggling to find a rental car that I could bring around. Going through Evaneos solved this problem. Furthermore we had generally well located hotels, not sure we could have found the right locations ourselves. The trip itself was stunning, hitting all the right spots, and required some active driving. All in all good fun.

My husband and I spent two weeks in Albania with' our local agency...Europe's Last Adventure'. Planning the trip was very easy as Ed, the owner, answered our emails and questions immediately and together with his knowledge and our special requests to visit/see certain places, Ed created an exciting itinerary. We credit Henri, our driver/guide (and who soon became our friend) with the success of our trip. His English is excellent, his knowledge of Albania and the sites we visited was extensive, he is an excellent and safe driver and he is very friendly and engaging person. If you want to explore a beautiful country, rich in culture and and wilderness experiences, go to Albania. It is not inundated with tourists. The people are hospitable and kind and the food is excellent. It is a gem!

Our trip to Albania was a dream. Our guide Gesi was the highlight. His knowledge of the country , it’s history and places was amazing . He is funny, engaging, so polite and caring and treated us like family .the itinerary was perfect. I wish we had had twice as long. Everywhere we stayed was a unique experience . I want to be back in albania !

Our trip to Albania was one of the best we ever had. The organization was excellent including Hotels, guide, car and selection of sites. We learned much about Albania History, enjoyed beautiful sights, hiked in emazing trails had good food and wonderful hosting in butic hotels. Also the timing (preseason) was very helpful We recommend our friends very strongly to make a visit to this wonderful country.

Every city I visited was amazing with great history, culture and views. I was a solo traveller and had an awesome guide who drove me through his beautiful country and answered every question and request I had. Gzim was very patient and quite willing to alter the itinerary. The food and accomadations were very good. A special mention to the kind and friendly stuff in Berat and the guest house in Butrint. I also had the opportunity to visit the Blue Eye Spring (Siri i kalter) and it was a marvelous place.

Efficient service from the office in terms of responding to queries & designing the perfect personalised trip for us. Excellent choice & variety of hotels. The most important element of course was our guide, Alban. He was very knowledgeable without overdoing it. He had a great sense of humour & was very attentive to our needs. When we asked to change a schedule, he was most accommodating. Always polite and punctual, he was the perfect choice for us as well as being a good driver.

The chance to see the wonderful countryside and beautiful coastline. Staying in the fascinating old houses of Berat and Gjorokaster and exploring the bazaar areas. Visiting the Ethnographic museum in Kruje was a particular highlight, as well as visiting an old mosque and the monastery in Ardenica. Meeting so many kind and interesting Albanian people who were so anxious to give us excellent attention whether in shops, hotels or restaurants. Our excellent guide Alban who made every minute of each day so easy and enjoyable and looked after us so well. Also, he was a really brilliant driver!

My daughter is leaving home for uni in september and I wanted a mini adventure for the 2 of us to experience and remember together. I certainly got it and it was near-perfect . Before leaving, the tour company were excellent - replying promptly to all our queries and giving informative, amusing and accurate details of the trip. The itinerary was interesting and the tour guide added huge value by adding stops along the way, by choosing interesting and memorable places to stop for lunch or coffee and by introducing us to local people. The hotels chosen were perfectly situated in the cities which, again, added a lot of value. The scenery in Albania is stunning and the off-road driving brought us into this scenery in a way that a road tour never could. The driving was also great fun. The places that we visited were stunning, particularly Berat, Byllis and Butrint and very quiet given how impressive they were

I cannot speak highly enough of the local agency in the persons of Fiona and Eduard, the latter of whom accompanied us throughout our trip. There were no problems. There was courtesy and consideration throughout, combined with care and knowledge. How can I pick one thing out as 'good' or 'best' when EVERYTHING was perfection.
