Amazing places, wonderful people, a must do in Albania! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Glenis was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgable and friendly. Some more information about Albania’s history would have been good. The cable car was amazing!
Lovely experience the operator was friendly and helpful
We had a very nice day with Gledis. He sended us message about the pick up-point and -time in the evening before. Next morning he picked us up by the hotel. We saw the most important sights in Tirana and had some extra time for shopping. Then we went to the cable car and it was amazing! We were excited and a little bit afraid. When we came up to the mountain it was cloudy, so the wiev wasn’t anything to mention. After five and a half hours we were back at the hotel, both of us were very pleased. I recommend it very much!
It was an amazing experience with our tour guide Gledis. He is very friendly, nice and professional. I will 100% recommend him to anyone visiting Albania. He made our experience unforgettable. We will definitely return back to Albania. Thank you.
Interesting city. Guide nice and informative. A little more time to explore for yourself would have been nice. We didn't drive Cablecar. 15 € extra p.P. were too expensive for us.
We booked online this activity and I would say we were lucky because all the things in the trip were perfect.
It was a really nice tour. I was there with my friends. Our guide Mikel made the tour enjoyable for us. Would definitely recommend it.
We had a good time with charismatic Mikel. He showed us the city of Tirana with a lot of history and tidbits about the buildings and history of the Albanian people. Climbed the pyramid and ended with a cable car up mountain Dajti. Overall great, relaxing experience, would recommend 👌
It was a nice experience. The guide was friendly and cable car is one of the best experiences I had in Albania. Definitely I recommend the tour!
