Burg Kruja, der alte Basar und Sarisalltik – Abfahrt von Tirana

This is a great day out, very well organised by Lola our tour guide, who was a fount of information about Albania’s history especially around Krujë castle. Lola was super friendly and ensured everyone had a great time. The bazaar and castle were really interesting and we bought some lovely hand made silver jewellery!

The sites of this tour were very interesting, unique and worth while seeing and our guide, Irena, made the tour a lot of fun. She was very patient with everyone, enthusiastic about explaining the history of Albania and entertaining in her storytelling,

This was a great tour for exploring outside of Tirana. Paola was a terrific guide, always checking that everything was going okay, which it was, thanks to her excellent guidance.

I had a fantastic day visiting Kruja Castle and the Sarisalltik site — a truly memorable experience from start to finish. Our guide Arber was a cool guy: relaxed, welcoming, and effortlessly organised. The WhatsApp group he set up beforehand was a real bonus — clear tips, timely updates, and helpful reminders made meeting up and planning transport straightforward and stress-free. Arber brought the history to life with sharp facts and charming anecdotes, and his sense of humour kept everyone engaged throughout the walk. The castle’s dramatic views and the atmospheric Old Bazaar were real highlights, and Arber pointed out local details you’d otherwise miss. Practical details were handled smoothly, the pace was comfortable, and the group vibe was relaxed and enjoyable. If you’re heading to Kruja and thinking about the Sarisalltik tour, I’d highly recommend going with Arber — great communication, brilliant guiding, and a genuinely enjoyable day out.

Great tour! Two nice places, scenic views and great organisation. The tourguide (Lola) kept us entertained and informed the whole day, everything was on time and we received all the needed information and enough time for everything.

Very good trip. Beautiful scenery and fantastic views from the mountains to the Adriatic. Well organized and Adele was a good tour guide.

This was a nice tour to take when staying in Triana. Paola was an excellent tour guide. Consider this tour if visiting Triana.

Nice experience, excellent guide, courteous and helpful. The castle is not exactly what one expects, but it is still an experience to have

I enjoyed this small-ish group tour that went from Tirana to Kruja. Our first stop, high in the mountains, was at the Bektashi temple, a cave in the mountain. It was nice and cool up there and had a great view. Then we went to Kruja Castle, where there is a nice museum. The Old Bazaar was a lot of fun to walk through.

I loved this trip and would definitely recommend it. However, if you are adverse to very steep edged, twisty roads wuth lots of hairpin bends it may not be for you. We had an excellent driver but I was very nervous on the way up. The view from the top was well worth it though and we were given lots of detailed information from our Guide, Adela. We then had a superb drive back down the mountain and had the perfect amount of time at Kruja, a lovely place with lots of eateries and local shops selling many souvenirs along the very narrow, cobbled streets. We hit Tirana during rush hour on return!
