- marketinglabromania0 contributionsI recommend to all the people in this world to visit Ksamil and do the tourFirst time when we have been to Albania was last year during summer and we were very excited and in the same time worried because was our first time in this country. We booked the prive tour from Tirana to Ksamil and all went perfect. I never thought i can find such professional team and water as in the MAldives in Albania. I recommend to all the people in this world to visit Ksamil and do the tour.Written March 13, 2025

- dawnswain130 contributionsGive it a go and cook Albanian!We enjoyed the experience of Albanian cooking , lots of butter and red wine involved. Friendly host, and lovely group we were with. Very much an enjoyable experience.Written March 7, 2025
- ronaldh330 contributionsGreat Balkan tour!Engil was a fantastic guide. He knew the history, the politics, as well as the best places to eat and shop. And his English was perfect. Thank you for a great trip!Written March 6, 2025
- 28antoniosk0 contributionsDon’t miss the opportunity to visit KosovoCommunication before the trip was more than excellent. Our guide had tones of information to share and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend it as it combines a nice drive in nature and also is an exploration of Kosovo historyWritten March 5, 2025
- chrisaZ7837ZW0 contributionsUnique and Educational Tour!This was easily one of the best food tours I have ever taken. Aron, our tour guide was exceptional, knowledgeable, and taught the group and I so much about the food and the complex history of Albania. I have actually been here in Albania for the last two months, visiting museums and taking other tours. But this was a different experience altogether, and I learned far more in 4 hours that I learned in the last two months. And the food we tried was not only delicious, but had stories behind them as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Written March 1, 2025
- rogerbF4359RS0 contributionsEndri was the consummate guideIt was a long but spectacular day. Our driver and guide Endri was superlative and I cannot say enough about his efforts, which included navigating some difficult driving conditions amid road construction and traffic. I highly recommend this excursion.Written February 25, 2025

- 421christianag0 contributionsGreat for solo and groups, better than I could have expectedHad the best time and was so worth it! This was my first ever cooking class and the instructions were well explained. Intertwining some of the history of Albania during the class made it interesting and engaging. All dishes are easy to recreate, delicious and filling. The homemade wine was also great. Sindy was fantastic, very charismatic and accommodating. It was a lovely experience can’t recommend it enough.Written February 12, 2025

Do not waste money or time coming to Albania. First Tirana is a dirty crowded city and the drivers are dangerous. There is nothing worth seeing. I’ve been to over 100 countries in the world. The sites to see are worthless. No wow moments just aggregation. The woman are friendly but the men- yikes! If you’re just counting countries give yourself 1 day and get out. If you are a vegetarian or pescatarian forget it. Also often things they state are worth visiting are not open even though the internet says it is. Pathetic. Albania is NOT WORTH A VISIT.

We had Josef as our guide and he was so helpful to us and the other couple on the tour. He knew the area well and gave us lots of advice as it was our first time in Albania. The lake and mountains are stunning and Josef kindly took pictures for us too.

The hike to Lake Bovilla was straightforward and enjoyable, and Daniel (my guide) knew all the best angles to take photos from the viewpoint. We went in the winter but the panoramic views were still super beautiful. It’s a short and enjoyable day trip from Tirana - 100% would recommend this gem!
