Ervin was a great guide. He was humorous and patient and very helpful. Berat is definitely a must-see city in Albania. Don't miss it!
What a fantastic experience in Albania. We had a tour of Durres, Berat, Belsh Lake, and our guide, Bledar excellent, very knowledgeable what a fascinating history and culture this country has. Oh, I had to recommend a little restaurant in Berat. Call Maly home, cook, delicious !!
This was a great trip. We got to see several sights and spent a decent amount of time at each. Bledi, our guide, was knowledgeable and fun!
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.
That Bled was the most amazing driver/guide with a wealth of knowledge as well as a friendly and unrushed manner thus making the tour a most enjoyable day out.
Wonderful day at Durres and Berat. Our amazing guide Bledar was knowledgeable, told us about the history of the 2 cities (Durres and Berat) and the history of Albania. Bledar had a great sense of humor and we enjoyed the tour with him. The group members with us were very nice, friendly and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend this tour with Bledar as a guide 😄. Best Regards Ahmed and Jarkko
Good program with the right amount of stops and enough time to see the main sights. Our very good driver and guide was Bledsr who gave the right amount of explanations. Very full day as in the program.
