What a truely fantastic day After being on several boats trips this was such a change to be amid the natural beauty of Albania. This trip took by breath away Relaxing in the thermal baths was just what the doctor ordered and felt revitalised after The town of Permet is so lovely and lives up to its name of City of Roses The actual journey is stunning some breathtaking views of natural beauty so put the phone down and soak in the those views with your own eyes Alban was our guide and couldn't ask for more. Told us lots of historical information about Albania and surrounding areas and interesting stories. Thankyou 🙏
We are very happy for YOU! This is the purpose of our work! Thank you
We had a wonderful day with our perfect guide Fedele and the tour company also provided a dedicated driver which was a nice touch. Fedele gave us a wealth of information and was exceedingly educated, professional and personable. We felt like we really got to know him as we toured the amazingly beautiful sites and his company strongly added to how much we enjoyed ourselves. We highly recommend this tour. Since the tour is designed to be for a small group it is worth educating yourself a little bit about Permet. You may be asked what you would like to do/see in your free time. Other than climbing the gigantic rock formation, which was a designated stop, there might be churches or restaurants in Permet you'd like to visit based on your research. Also be prepared with bathing attire in case the option to actually go into the hot baths presents itself and you are interested in doing so. We were the only ones on the tour in early May. The experience/options may differ if there are more participants.
Thank you very much, my dear Kathleen! The motto of our work is.. "You dream it..we plan it". When you are happy..we are happy. We look forward to having you among us again. Thank you!
This was truly a beautiful day out. After being cooped up due to lock-down, I knew I was in dire need of nature, and the natural hot springs were just the ticket to ease my mind, and bring my entire body to a state of relaxation. My tour guide spoke English beautifully, and was a great leader throughout the journey. In fact, all of the staff at Tea Tours was lovely, and their office is also home to a nice Souvenir Shop, where you can find English books, maps and other goodies.
We are so glad you had a great day and thank you for choosing Tea Tours agency to serve you. You are welcome to enjoy our trips exploring Albania's most beautiful places. We wish you all the best!
