Scutari da Tirana: Tour di un giorno del castello, della città e del lago di Skadar

The tour to Shkodra was not cheap, but overall we had a fantastic day and felt that the experience was worth it. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, respectful, and friendly throughout the entire tour. He shared a lot of interesting information while always creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Another thing we really appreciated was how safely and responsibly he drove, which made the journey much more comfortable. Overall, a very enjoyable and well-organised experience.

Thanks to our guide, Ilir, for making this such a memorable day. He made history come alive and gave us a better understanding of Albania's past and present.

Amazing time with Ilir as the guide, reccomended to everyone! Learned so much on the way 😎 The trip itself covered interesting spots

my guide Ilir was very informative , there was good views, vehicle & experience but not worth £85.68 so id recommend this tour if it was cheaper.

We had an amazing day in Skhodra visiting the castle, around the beautiful city and finished at an amazing local restaurant. Even though the weather was not the best this turned into a great day. We learned a lot about the local history and had lots of great conversations. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to dig deeper than “normal” turism and just have a good time.

We have an amazing trip,the view in shkoder castle,lake and ottoman bridge are all beautiful and worth visiting, but the best part of this trip is definitely our guide Ilir!!! In short, We loved the trip and highly recommend to anyone who wants to know more about Albania,especially with Ilir, no need for second thought, just go and enjoy the day. Ilir is full of knowledge about Albania, whether the past or nowadays of this country, and with the enthusiastic to share with us.We visited a few museums and also done some material reading of Albania before this day-trip,however nothing can campares with the conversation and sharing from Ilir,besides the detailed tour to each sites,he is willing to answer all our questions (from religious to daily life) with thorough and understandable explanation, helps a lot for us to understand Albania in more dimensions. ———————— 來自臺灣的我們超級推薦這個行程，景點很美，但最棒的絕對是我們的導遊Ilir ，他除了親切且對阿爾巴尼亞瞭解甚深外，更能用簡單且無口音的英文和我們解釋溝通所有關於阿爾巴尼亞的大小事（大至完整的歷史小至各種交通現象😆），回答我們各種疑問，總是讓人感到很舒適的陪伴，推薦給任何想要對阿爾巴尼亞有多一點瞭解的人，且必須說對於非英文母語者而言，Ilir流利的英文讓溝通毫無障礙，非常值得且回憶滿滿的一天。

Great way to see Shkoder castle, lake and old city with a really friendly and helpful guide. We took the tour to Shkoder and then got dropped off at our hotel there, rather than returning to Tirana. Really appreciated the comfortable car, local information and connection (all for less cost than a transfer). Suggest taking lunch by the lake or packing snacks. It’s a long day, but great itinerary.

Fabulous tour of Shkoder with the best tour guide ever! Ilir is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area and Albania in general. His rich commentary about the castle and history of Shkoder made the tour such a wonderful experience! I highly recommend this tour—any tour — with Ilir.

This trip, booked through Viator; was a day trip from our hotel in Tirana. Picked up by car, we enjoyed our own personal guide today. Jac was knowledgeable, friendly and kept the pace of the trip moving. Shkoder came ‘recommended’ and it didn’t disappoint. After a 90min drive we arrived to beautiful scenery, historic bridges, castles and monuments, friendly and welcoming people, great food and drink. All round excellent. There’s probably not enough shops for shopping in the town; but if you want to experience Albanian culture, history and hospitality (without bumping into too many other tourists) Shkoder is for you. Well recommended as a place to visit.

Shkoder is a lively city with a nice old part. But the best is the old castle a little bit outside, up on a hill, which you can reach by car. But to enter the castle, from where you have enormous views over the rivers and lakes. At the end of the castle, a little bit hidden, there is a cosy cafe from where you can also see the great landsacpe. But don't forget to use good shoes for sightseeing.
