Amazing tour - Had a fab day out! Klajdi was a very friendly & knowledgeable tour guide and drove very carefully (which we appreciated). We were in a smaller group and he was very flexible with us. Great value for money and I wish I had booked all my other tours with them (but I will for the next time I’m in Albania).

Last minute rip-off. - I would like to have gone but the agency, after taking the payment, booking 5 days before, sending the appointment message and everything, the evening before they canceled the tour, as I understand it due to over booking, without warning, apologizing, offering alternatives not interesting to me. They boast that they offer low prices but what's the point without the necessary professionalism. I found other tours. Be careful, it could happen to you too. Anna, as a couple.
