Inspiring tour - Very good to see the rural landscape of Albania. I felt very well and we had a good reception with the Guide. I loved the landscapes and people. It is a tour for those who like the countryside.

Personalized Tour - Went with your guide Eno. The tour picked us up from our hotel, which was not listed. We ended up being the only group booked for the 8am tour so we got a personalized tour from Eno! Eno was very informative about Albania and Albanian culture. He was very accommodating for our jetlagged selves. We stopped for coffee around a lake, drove up to the Castle of Berat, and enjoyed a delicious lunch. We did not wander around Berat as the temperatures were very hot! Bring lots of water and an open mind!

10/10 would recommend - I did a tour with Orlanda and it was the best one I've done in Albania. The group was small so we all practically got personal attention to ask all the questions we want. The guide was super friendly, helpful and in good spirits. It was burning hot so she even made us an unplanned stop at the bar in the shadow to grab a drink and cool down a bit. She was also very knowledgeable about the places we went to. Truly a great experience.

10/10 would recommend. Knowledgable guide, pick up from your hotel, ending with wine tasting - An excellent experience. Welcoming guide and really informative We got a lot for our money Would recommend 10/10 Pick up directly from hotel 2 hr drive to Berat but a coffee stop half way. Group got to know each other Berat is a wonderful historic city up a huge hill. Being driven there is a bonus unless you really want to hike. 1.5 hrs we walked round this wonderful ancient city and various churches and mosques which derived from the 1500s … guide was knowledgable and knew her stuff We got to spend a little free time in the city afterwards before being driven to the hills for some wine tasting and some amazing food. Food was wonderful, wine was very drinkable and a great local addition. I bought 3 bottles from a local producer as gifts. All in all would 100% recommend this

Amazing place - We had a fabulous time on our tour. Our guide Orlanda was so accommodating and had so much knowledge about the history of Berat. The wine tasting blew us away, the views from the winery were amazing and it was great to try authentic Albanian food, wine and raki. Would 100% recommend!

Great day trip - Ledion was an awesome guide and local to Berat. He’s quite young but knew so much about the local history. It was a very hot day but we made the most of it. The castle was amazing and wine tasting and food was great. We bought a couple of bottles. However I did not know that the wine tasting fee was not included. It was a little pricier than expected. Had a wonderful time regradless.

Good tour but with room for improvement - We had a mixed experience in relation to this tour. We booked to do the tour on 30th April to celebrate a special occasion and received a WhatsApp after booking to say the tour was confirmed. We were then really disappointed to receive a further message shortly before we left for Albania changing the date to suit the tour company. The tour company sent us a photo of the minivan that would be picking us up which was a nice touch. Orlanda, the guide, was from Berat and provided good commentary when we were walking through the castle and city. However she barely chated to the Engliish speaking members of the group outside of this aspect of the tour and preferred to chat with the Italian members of the group Our first stop was Belsh for a coffee and it was here that we were informed there would be an extra cost for the wine tasting, which at the time wof booking the tour was not clear on the list of extras on the website. The tour is entitled 'Berat and Wine Tasting,' not Berat and Optional Wine Tasting. The walking tour of Berat was interesting and the city is beautiful. At the end of the tour of Berat we had to wait in a bar to while away time as lunch at the winery had been booked for 4pm. We all agreed this was too late for lunch The lunch at Alpeta winery onsisted of local specialities and was delicious. We also enjoyed the wine tasting and the hospitality and warmth shown by the owner of the winery. It was around 8pm when we got back to Tirana. This late arrival could have been avoided with better
