We had such a great day visiting Berat and Belshi Lake! From the start, our guide was super friendly and explained everything in such an interesting way that we really enjoyed learning about the places we visited. The transportation was clean, and we felt safe the whole time thanks to our great driver. We also really loved having some free time to explore the cities at our own pace, which made the day even more enjoyable. The pickup was easy, and our guide always greeted us with a smile. Overall, we had an amazing day and will definitely remember this experience for a long time. Thanks again:))
Thank you Arber for your knowledge and friendliness you made our day trip a memorable one. Shalom from Israel.
Excellent tour with informative guide who provided a great understanding of Albanian history and culture.
A personal tour with Daniel, our guide, stopping at Belshi Lake for coffee and ice cream. Daniel was very knowledgeable and explained the history, customs and legends of Albania. The second stop was at Berat Castle a UNESCO site. Following Daniel's guided tour we had some time to ourselves to visit the museum of Onufri. There were excellent views across the Osum River to the Tomorri Mountains. From here were driven down to Berat where we had three hours free time for lunch and sightseeing. Would definitely recommend.
Daniel was knowledgeable friendly and gave good information on Albanian culture and heritage would recommend
Our guide, Daniel, provided us with a passionate review of history with pride, humor, many details and great story telling making our journey to Berat the most enjoyable aspect of our day. Berat castle and city of 1,000 windows is worth a visit but without the lore that Daniel was able to tell us, I doubt I would’ve been as intrigued. Our guide also gave us excellent recommendations for delicious traditional Albanian cuisine in Berat. Highly recommend!
A full day trip, 9am- 6pm, only 3 of us tourists in a private air-conditioned car with our driver/guide Daniel. We drove to the lake stop where we had coffee and yummy pastry snacks . Then on to Berat Castle and then Berat itself where we had a couple of hours before the return trip through the stunning Albanian countryside. Daniel explained Albania’s history in detail, fascinating, we learned a lot. Benefits of a “ private tour” include no multi- hotel pick ups, no waiting for people, no inability to hear the guide properly…. A super day out, thank you Tiffany Travel !
Our tour guide Daniel was absolutely wonderful! He was an excellent driver and provided so much information on Albanian history and sights. Our trip to Berat was the highlight of our entire trip!
Daniel was a great guide and shared lots of history about Albania that enriched the trip and visiting these historic places. Very prompt and great driving skills.
Daniel was an amazing tour guide!! From the very first communication with the company, everything went very smoothly. And I appreciated how they worked to confirm the tour as I was traveling solo. The day was absolutely perfect. A huge part of that was Daniel’s storytelling and engaging conversation. Highly, highly recommended!
