Durres & Wine Tasting Tour

We enjoyed the tour of the city and the visit to the winery. We had a lot of free time to shape the tour as we wanted to before the winery, and appreciated the availability of food and snacks at the winery. The winery is definitely the highlight of the tour.

Absolutely loved Albania! We did this to with Tour Guide Flori and he was excellent, really knowledgeable and the tour was brilliant. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience overall. Very friendly tour guide, talkative, informative and funny. Excellent wine and food. Also recommend the homemade Raki if you want something stronger.

Awesome tour of Duress with a fabulous guide, Edi. Tour was about 5 hours long and started with a walk throughout the city to see the amphitheater, Roman baths ruins, tower, etc. Edi was very informative on everything in Duress, very well versed in the history of the town as well. Went to Abaia Winery for a tour and tasting which included amazing snacks where most was actually grown on the property. Fabulous wines and phenomenal tour of the winery and tasting. This is a great tour to see the city and taste the local wines. Absolutely recommend Edi as well…perfect English and excellent knowledgeable guide. Communication from office staff was great as well through email prior to my arrival. 5-stars for office, tour, and guide!!

We had an amazing tour with our host, we saw some amazing sights in Durres and through Tirana. Highly recommend this tour, for a value for money and the wine tasting was a particular highlight. Recommend this tour to anyone visiting Albania.

Amazing guide (Mimi) who was knowledgable and very friendly. Everything was enjoyable, especially the time at the winery.

Mimi fantastic guide varied activities, lovely wine tasting and accompanying tapas selection in a magical setting. Boat ride on the lake was refreshing

We went two people on this tour and Rando, our guide, picked us up at the hotel in time, he was a little early even. He drove around in Tirana and told us about the landmarks and told us about the places we could visit while in Tirana. On the way to Durres he told us about Albania and anything we wanted to know. In Durres we walked around town and Rando told us the history of the city, the Amphitheatre and the Museum of Archaeology. The tour was very relaxed and we went in our own pace and got time for some street food snacks (byreks) AND lunch at a really good restaurant of his choice. The seafood linguini and tave was a dream. Later we went to Duka Winery and was met by the sweet Winery guide there, who took very good care of us. We got to try 4 different wines and a raki, with a plate of cheeses and meats. We also had the opportunity to buy wines to bring home with us. Later we were driven back to our hotel in Tirana and Rando left us with his business card, in case we needed some more help or tips. If I could give more stars I would, 20/5 stars. We felt very safe and relaxed and our guide was very caring and perceptive. It was the best day on our trip to Albania.

Juli was our guide. The booking and picking up instructions were very straightforward and he picked us up from our hotel. We began in Durres and he told us about the history of Albania during the car journey. We began in the archaeology museum. He had the right balance between pointing out the key exhibits and leaving us to make our own way. We went to the amphitheatre, which was fascinating and undisturbed. The wine tasking experience was excellent. We were lucky enough to be be guided by an intern (Tom), who showed us the vineyard and where the wine is made and stored. He then guided us through four wines and a raki. This was at a beautiful spot overlooking a lake. We had some tasty snacks.

Such a wonderful place to visit. I've been there 3 times ,going by car ,bike and walking till there and everytime was special. The sunset is the best view you can take from there
