About
This fascinating, lesser known Mediterranean country has a pristine, rugged and wild landscape waiting to be discovered. It wasn’t until the collapse of the People’s Socialist Republic of Albania in 1991 that the world got its first glimpse of the country within. Our trek is focused in the remote Albanian Alps in the north, where ancient blood feuds and folklore mark its past. We explore the remote regions of Theth and Valbonë on foot, where Agricultural life has remained unchanged for centuries. We then have time to explore the historic towns of Berat and Krujë and delve into the captivating history of this hospitable country.

- annabR8407JT0 contributionsGreat tripThis trip made visiting Macedonia from Tirana so easy. We enjoyed drinking coffee on the border of Lake Ohrid. The guide was so interesting.Written November 18, 2024
- Trump8910 contributionsWOW and WOW!!! Adam is outstanding…Wow and wow!! Adam was the best tour guide we have ever had and we’ve been around the world. Not only did Adam have all our questions answered but he made effort to find my parents land where they were brought up as children. Wow!! He went over and above our expectations. Was worth every penny and felt something very special spiritually as he took us to my roots of my culture. You must have him as your tour guide. It’s a must and worth every penny. He treated us like royalty no joke. Thank you Adam from the bottom of our hearts. ☝️😎 Jim M. (Juma)Written May 11, 2024

- strictlybibliophilic0 contributionsMost flexible and accommodating tour of AlbaniaAlbanian express travel was a great agency for our first trip to the beautiful country of Albania! We were taken to the best spots of the country even the little restaurants, our guide was most accommodating if we wanted to make any stops and he took us to some spots I could not find on google either! I highly recommend this tour and you can customize to your liking like we went to northern Albania up in the alps and it was breathtaking. I would love to come back and hire them for visiting other Balkan countries. Falimenderit!Written July 7, 2023

- Ben H0 contributionsGreat tripGot the full Tirana experience from Adam, wonderful guy and a great guide, we were lucky enough to have him arrange loads of fun over a weekend. His local knowledge is second to none, his English and Italian perfect and right to be proud of a wonderful place. So we glad we got to experience it and so glad we were lucky enough to have Adam show us so much more of what Albania has to offer. Am seriously considering taking the family for our summer holidays in 2023 as there was still so much to see and experience in a very welcoming country. Prices were all very reasonable from food to beer and accommodation. Thanks again Great placeWritten September 26, 2022
- DanielK14720 contributionsWeekend with friends.Adam was full of knowledge about Tirana. Also a great friendly guy. If you have any reservations about visiting Albania, don’t worry such a friendly beautiful country. Can’t wait to go back.Written September 26, 2022
- therossatron0 contributionsAnother great trip to Albania thanks to AdamHaving previously been to Albania and had a couple of day trips with Adam, I instantly knew as soon as I was returning with friends to contact him. Although not part of a standard tour offering Adam was basically our private tour guide showing my friends and I the highlights of Tirana, the best bars and even organised taking us to a shooting range. Nothing was too much for Adam, organising transfers to and from the airport and just being available if we needed him. Our group had some great experiences thanks to Adam and ones we are likely never to forget. All my friends are thinking of returning to Albania now and I know if I return for my third trip I’ll be messaging Adam and Albania Express travel to help organise it!Written September 25, 2022
- janerner0 contributionsExtremely SatisfiedI really cannot say enough of how satisfied we were with Albania Express Travel. Adam was so much fun to hang out with and incredibly knowledgeable about the geology of the region. He will go out of his way to ensure that you get to see the hidden gems of Albania. The landscape was even more breathtaking than I had imagined. We really enjoyed each day’s activities, the itinerary was excellent and the food and accommodation of a high standard. (PS he is also great in taking photos. 😉) Everything was organized into perfection, an amazing trip that I highly recommend!Written May 29, 2022
- zainy_treasured10 contributionsIncredible South AlbaniaI, along with my husband and 7 year old daughter traveled to Albania and I must say it has been an incredible experience. This country is definitely an hidden treasure which the world needs to explore. We wanted to do an international trip to a destination which doesn’t have visa hassle, affordable, serene and happening at the same time. Upon my friend’s recommendation, we chose Albania and I can’t thank her enough. I immediately wrote an email to Albania Express Travel after checking their website which was very informative. They replied back timely and answered each single query of mine which made the entire itinerary planning and booking extremely smooth. We knew it’s going in the right direction. The hotels and car provided was just perfect. In 8 days tour, we enjoyed rains, snow and extreme sunshine and saw mountains, beaches, hills, castles and list goes on and on. The people are extremely friendly and serve amazing fresh food. We were delighted with their hospitality. A very special mention about our Tour guide, Mr Adam. He is a master with exhaustive experience. We consider ourselves very lucky to have him tour this wonderful country. In a nutshell, I am definitely reaching out to Albania Express Travel for future trips around the region.Written December 29, 2021
- misskat97800 contributionsAmazing AlbaniaAlbania is a beautiful country, and what makes it more amazing is the people and the rich history behind it, our group enjoyed the whole tour tremendously, we are very lucky that Adam from Albania Travel Express carried out all our travel itinerary excellently. We all felt very well taken care of, safe and at the end of our trip immensely grateful. The places that we have been to are great, the food - simply fabulous and the private transport made it more comfortable. Our Hotel Bookings, Airport Transfer and COVID PCR Testing ran smoothly and quick which was really important to us. Should there be a chance for us to go back in Albania, we will surely book with Albania Travel Express again.Written December 14, 2021
