Bledi was friendly, knowledgeable and made the tour exciting. Durrës and Belsh were so-so, but Berat, especially its castle, was fabulous. A highlight was the karaoke session en route back to Tirana. Best tour ever!
Berat is a stunning little spot that you have to see! The tour was pretty well paced and the guide was very knowledgeable and able to provide a lot of local history which made the tour very good! The bus had AC and was pretty comfortable to escape the heat
A full day experience seeing Dürres and Berat. Bledi was a knowledgeable guide and went above and beyond to inform us about the history, sites, and culture of his country. Highly recommend!
Very long day but worth it. Absolutely loved Berat ! Felt safe and comfortable all day . Good walking shoes with good grip required as walking on marble at times and very slippery.

Great, the guide explained it very well to us. We enjoyed taking this tour, Berat, Durres, the castle, and the lake.
It was interesting to experience two different cities in Albania. Our guide did a great job of highlighting interesting things along the way as well.
