Amazing tour with wonderful guide and tour group - 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
