Great tour, beautiful scenery, great guides - The scenery on the way to the beaches at Vlore and Himare is absolutely stunning. It was a gorgeous, sunny day but a bit too cool for swimming. We really didn't miss it because of our guides, Erdi and Hertel. We have been on many tours in many countries and this one was the most enjoyable of all. In addition to being very knowledgeable of Albanian history, they were a lot of fun to be with. I highly recommend this tour with or without these guides, but if you get them, it will be your lucky day.

Highlight of Our Albania Tour Don’t Miss Himarë - We visited Vlorë and Himarë on a day trip, and it was truly the highlight of our Albania tour. The journey was quite long, so I would recommend making it a two-day trip if possible—or spending less time in Vlorë, as Himarë is definitely worth dedicating more time to. Our driver was excellent, very kind and attentive, always checking if we needed anything. He also shared interesting details about the local history, attractions, and monuments in Vlorë. Himare itself is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear turquoise water at the perfect temperature for swimming and sandy clean beach. Be sure to come prepared! We were offered beach loungers, as well as access to showers and changing rooms, which made the experience even more comfortable.
Lunch was delicious—fresh wild seabass served with a crisp salad. The whole trip was amazing and memorable, though the long road made it a bit tiring.

“Perfect Family Escape on the Water” - Bayamar Adventures gave our family the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. We opted for a private morning tour and visited stunning, secluded bays around Himara. Our guide made sure the kids felt safe and included, even letting them take the wheel briefly (with supervision!). The snacks and drinks were a nice touch, and the scenery was just breathtaking. It felt like our own little world out on the Ionian Sea. Worth every penny—don’t miss it if you’re traveling with kids!

Fantastic🤩 - I recently went on a beach tour with Inspire Me World Travel, and it was a phenomenal experience! The tour took us to some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches I've ever seen. The crystal-clear waters and soft sandy shores were perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing. The itinerary was well-planned, giving us ample time to enjoy each location. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, providing interesting insights and making sure everyone had a great time. The food provided was delicious and added to the overall enjoyment of the trip. This beach tour was everything I hoped for and more. Highly recommend, and definitely deserving of five stars!

Beautiful Beach - We didn't do the full tour just because we personally were tired and a little jet lagged, but the beach and food in Vlore was amazing. We spent a longer time there since we didn't go to Himare. The only thing is that the guy who drove us wasn't a tour guide he didn't seem to know fully what to do. He was very very nice and we had amazing conversations with him and think he was rather funny. He was just asked to take us due to the owner unable to at that time. Overall we did have a great time and would recommend this tour to other people.

Great tour but poorly organized - The best trip if you don't have enough time in Albania to see the beaches by yourself. The beaches we visit, the food and drinks were all incredible. By far the most beautiful beaches in Europe. However, the trip needed more organization. We were picked up at 7:45am and came back 12:15am. It was very exhausting! We were accompanied by a driver and a tour guide; however, the tour guide didn't know anything about the history and was in the trip to enjoy himself. The tour guide was also immature. The driver was excellent, didn't speak English but was very thoughtful. I recommend the trip, but I will advise the owner to have a better tour guide and a more organized trip so the driver doesn't have to drive for 17 hours.

Great beach day - Hi - my brothers and I really enjoyed this trip. Our guide was excellent and the beach in Himare was amazing as well as the lunch that accompanied it. The drive to the next beach was spectacular through the mountains. It’s a hike from the parking lot to the next beach so wear comfortable shoes.

Disappointing and Stressful - Disappointing
Both the driver and guide were kind but completely unprofessional. It was as if I was on their tour.
The driver was unreachable and we waited on the side of the road for 20 minutes in the heat.
They spoke loudly the entire time.
We stopped to say hello to a friend of the guide.
The guide spent the whole time taking pictures and said we would stay at the beach because he wanted to swim.
The driving was precarious.
I was not told about the hike to the beach and it was dangerous to not have proper shoes.
The guide really tried but just lacks the experience and knowledge.
