I recommend it - We did the tour in October 2023. It was a pleasure. The tour loops through SW Albania, inland and coastal. We particularly enjoyed the town of Gyrokaster (inland) as well as the Albanian Rivera. Our guide, Genci, was knowledgeable, professional, and relaxed. It made for a very informative, low key 4 days.

Great tour across southern Albania. - I contacted Enjoy Travel quite last minute asking about a tour (the week before we travelled in October!) and Genci responded very promptly, and was able to organise our tour as requested. The tour itself was great - well organised, covering key sites in southern Albania, good quality hotels, knowledgeable guide, lovely meals included, and above all smooth. Genci also recommended some good places to eat (for the meals not covered in the tour cost). I would really recommend.

Fantastic 4 days in Albania. - Highly recommend travelling Albania and doing it on this tour. You get to see a lot of different parts of Albania. Genci was a fabulous guide. He was very knowledgable and we learnt so much more about the countries history by doing a private tour.

An impeccable experience and a true relaxation without needing to plan my journey - My family of 3 had a private tour organised by Genci, who is the founder of Enjoy Travel. The programme is well planned and also flexible to tailor our needs, for example to add a kayaking experience on the beautiful beach of Dhermi and to drop us off to Golem instead of Tirana. It was an action packed tour and enable us to see the active (beaches and kayaking) and cultural sides (the 3 UNESCO sites, the capital and the Roman colosseum) of this beautiful country. Out of these activities, the highlights were the ancient city of Butrint and the pristine beaches of Ksamil and Dhermi. Genci had very good insights of these places to share in the tour. Food was another strong feature of this tour. Genci told me that he only picks the restaurants that he tried and satisfied him for his guests. Not only the meals were well prepared, he even picked the restaurants with views for us. All the Italian, Albanian and seafood restaurants of this tour were exceeding my expectations for a guided tour. Genci is not only a good guide, he is also a very good driver. His driving is safe and steady which is a great contrast to his fellow drivers in the country. He was sensitive enough to drive extra carefully when my son had a bit of car sick on a very hilly (but beautiful) coastal path. It was very different to the taxi driver I had from Golem to Tirana who was totally reckless. I truly recommend this tour, particularly for families or small groups who want extra flexibility in tailoring your trip. Thanks again to Genci who had provided wonderful hospitality and be such a great ambasador of your magnificent country.

Memorable!!!! - Absolutely I with my boyfriend spend 4 days visiting a beautiful place, meeting great people, tasting delicious and traditional food. Our tour guide Genc was well prepared because he used to give a lot of information about historical monuments and other places. He used to be very careful with our accommodation and his suggestions. Definitely we have seen the south riviera and we are very surprised about Albanian beaches and amazing sights. We would come back again!

AWESOME TRIP in Albania! - BEST TRIP EVER! My friend and I are two young women from America and we know practically nothing about Albania, not to mention the language. We booked this trip because we wanted to learn more about the Balkan history and culture. And this trip has largely exceeded our expectations! Our guide Genci is such a professional, fun, knowledgeable and inspirational person. We learned so much from him not only about the fascinating history of Albania, but also got a variety taste of local cuisines, lifestyles and pop cultures. In the past I’ve only done backpacking in Europe, so this is a total new experience— instead of stressing about finding my lodgings, worth-visiting food places, hitting famous sightseeings, while planning out my itinerary details and figuring out transportation in a foreign country, all is covered by this tour! I felt I was truly on vocation, but also learned so much about the rich history of this beautiful country. If you’re a foodie, this tour picked the best restaurants—and most of the meals are included in the price. Genci is also very flexible with our schedule and needs; very fast in responding questions. Anyway, my friend and I totally fell in love with this country and the kind, lovely people thanks to this trip. Highly, highly recommend! ❤️🇦🇱👍

Unique, memorable, and very worthwhile - Genci, who runs this tour, was wonderful. My friend and I were traveling from the US and didn't know anything about Albania when we booked our trip. We were a little nervous about being two young women alone in a new country where we didn't speak the language, but Genci put us at ease right away. He was very responsive and accommodating to itinerary changes we wanted to make shortly before the trip, and booked lovely places to stay at all the places that were covered by the tour. He was also a fantastic and very safe driver. The itinerary itself was very well-balanced, we got to see a lot in the 4 days we had without spending too much time in the car, and never felt rushed. Genci was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the history of all the places we visited. We got to see many "off the beaten path" locations that larger companies would likely skip over, but were just as fascinating, if not more so, than the main tourist spots. And the beaches we visited were just as beautiful as Croatia's. Overall, a very unique, worthwhile, and affordable trip. Would recommend to anyone who wants a unique vacation. Go to Albania!
