Appolonia and Ardenica private day tour

I did this tour with my father and simply cannot recomened it enough. Our guide Isuf and Gazi our driver were 2 of the nicest and most courteous guides ever. Isuf was full of knowledge and did not stop talking, bit also knew how to disseminate the information in a way that was fun and informative without being too much. He took us to an ancient ruined city and a still running monastery and the spot he picked for lunch was sublime.

I'd highly reccomend using VATO Tours when your in Berat. We got exclusive entry into amazing churches and mosques in Berat. Afterwards we went to apollonia. Isuf was amazing! Full of history, energy with a positive personality. We had an amazing time with him and his driver Gazi. After travelling for 3 years now a lot of tour companies just want to show you the same thing take you to the same shops. However not Isuf and his team! He showed so much passion for his city and its history! He was born in the castle woahhhh ! It felt like hanging out with a friend. With only a short stay in Berat we are looking to extend to do the waterfall tour. Highly recommend company.

When my friends and I decided we wanted to do a wine touring day in Berat, we needed to find a driver, but not just any driver- a driver that after 5 minutes was our friend - Isuf B. was one of the best parts of our amazing day.

First up: Nurellari. Beautiful grounds and atmosphere and such amazing wine that we left with 5 bottles. Then off to Luani where we enjoyed delicious meat, cheese and wine. We ended the day in the beautiful garden of Cobo and loved every minute of the wine, snacks and most of all the lovely staff.

And of course Isuf was with us every step of the way - laughing with us as if we had known each other for years.

Isuf, thank you. We love you!

I very much wish I had not come into contact with this tour company. They were unprofessional and showed absolutely abysmal service.

I selected the tour of Lake Ohrid that passes through both Albania and Macedonia.

The company sent a 'guide' who had only been to the area once before and had no knowledge of any of the sites. He missed critical sites that were part of the tour, particularly the Monestary of St Naum. I was really looking forward to this and twice asked the guide about it. He stated we'd already been, which I found odd but I had no internet or way to check. Upon my return, I realised he'd lied and contacted this company to query why this would occur.

Their response was utterly unhelpful and while they acknowledge that the service was not as advertised they only offered a 25% refund. This is in no way helpful when it cost me the opportunity to see a site I will now be unable to return to or see for years. It also doesn't reflect how uncomfortable and unpleasant the experience was.

Other aspects of the tour were also very professional, such as the state and smell of the car and my being asked to lie and state I was a friend of the guide at the Macedonian border. He told me it isn't legal to have foreign tour guides at Lake Ohrid. Athough I'm not sure whether this is true, it made me feel incredibly uncomfortable.

The guide also showed little concern for my enjoyment of the tour and we did not stop for lunch until 3.15pm, having started the tour at 8am. I had told him I was hungry at 1pm.

Other details included the guide forgetting to bring any Macedonian currency so being unable to buy tickets to the castle, which were meant to be included in the tour.

I would absolutely avoid using their services. It was an uncomfortable and underwhelming experience and was not in keeping with the service I received during the rest of my trip in Albania.

We understand that you have concerns about the service provided by our company, but we want to clarify a few points. Firstly, we take pride in our 7 years of experience in the tourism industry and our reputation for providing high-quality service to our clients. Regarding your specific case, we have made every effort to listen to your concerns and address them in a timely and professional manner. However, it is clear that your primary issue is with the payment for the service, rather than the quality of the tour itself. We would like to remind you that you have not been our direct client, but rather a client through one of our partners. We processed the payment on their behalf as a small tour company trying to help them. You have also requested PayPal to take the money back, which has caused confusion and difficulty in resolving the issue. It is important to note that we have received 128 5-star reviews from satisfied customers. We take all feedback seriously and strive to provide the best possible service to all of our clients. However, we cannot accept false and damaging reviews that are motivated solely by a desire to get a refund. We hope to resolve this issue amicably and wish you all the best in your future travels. Sincerely, VISIT ALBANIA TOUR OPERATOR

My wife and I took a tour out of Berat with Visit Albania Tour Operators. Our guide Marjo and our driver Milo were fantastic. They took us for a great tour of Tomorri Mountain. What a beautiful view. We also got to take a hike to the Bolgova waterfall, which was cold, but a very welcome and refreshing experience at the end of a hot day. We really enjoyed our tour with Visit Albania. Everyone was very professional. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed spending time with our tour guides. We would recommend this company to anyone wanting to take this tour.

We had a local tour arranged in each city through our overall tour group. Our guide in Berat was Isuf and he was very knowledgeable about his city, not only the history, but also about how people live today. His English was good as well. Our group guide even gave him a boost to pick fresh local berries for us. The only one small downside was that he smoked a few times during the tour, but he did move slightly away from us when he did it.

We spent two days on individualized tours run by Usef and Silvi and enjoyed every minute. The first day, they took us on a beautiful hike through vineyard, orchards, farmland and hillsides, ending at a local family winery where we met the owner, tasted the wine and raki, along with fresh figs, cheese, olives and walnuts from a nearby tree. We finished with a spectacular lunch at a restaurant run by the vineyard owner’s brother. The next day, Silvi took us to a waterfall, canyon and village and shared the places’ histories and his own appreciation of them. Both Usef and Silvi are smart, thoughtful and attentive young men, a true pleasure to spend time with. We could not have been happier with our tours!

My wife booked this tour for my birthday and the tour included two different wineries. They key to having a good experience is to have a good guide abs Randy delivered. He is a great English speaker and personable young man who was flexible and accommodating. He even had a surprise birthday cake for me at the second winery.

If we hadn’t planned out the rest of the trip in Albania we would have taken more tours with Randy. We would highly recommend him.

Osumi Canyon itself is stunning and that's already worth a trip. It makes it even better that the day trip is very well planned and organized. Our guide Silvi was very friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the country, the city and the touristic places we stopped on the way to the canyon. The hiking by the canyon was a highlight. The walk to the waterfall was very enjoyable and there it is super beautiful and peaceful! I totally recommend it to anyone who is visiting Berat.

We came here looking for information on what to see and how to get around in Berat. The two guides Isuf and Silvi quickly let us know that they were also offering tours and started to describe their tours very passionately and in great detail. We decided to take the tour to the Osumi canyon and the Bogovo waterfalls and this tour turned out to be one of the highlights of our vacation in Albania.
Silvi was a great guide, showing us a lot of great spots in the area and providing us with a lot of information on the region. At the waterfalls we also had a small picknick with some very tasty Börrek and some great regional Raki at an earlier stop.
Overall this tour felt more like a short trip with friends than a guided tour and we highly recommend to book a tour here.
