I can highly recommend this tour. Berg did not only show all of the beautiful countryside, castles, view points and beaches between Vlora and Porto Palermo, he made me understand the Albanian history, culture and mentality, gave food recommendations, arranged time for a short snorkeling stop and answered all my endless questions. Thank you so much!

We booked a private tour at Berg and loved it! We wanted to get to know the surroundings around Vlorë better and not drive quite as far, but still get to know the mountains and the coast better. The tour was the perfect mix of culture, history, beautiful coves and mountain landscapes. Burg was very reliable, punctual, accommodating and informed us about everything excellently. He was also very flexible and responded to our wishes. We can more than recommend the tour!
