Great, relaxing day in Albania - Its our second tour with VisitiousTours and i have to say it was also nailed although i feel that the time we spent on Berat was much shorter than needed everything was perfect, we will for sure book with them again if we come back to Albania.
Thanks Kevin and VisitiousTours.

Unforgettable day tour with our family - We just got back from the Private Day Tour of Belsh, Berat, and Durres, and it was amazing! Our guide Jolaos was fantastic, friendly and really knew the history.
Belsh was beautiful and peaceful, perfect for a family stroll. Berats old town took our breath away with its stunning architecture and views.
We wrapped up in Durres with some beach time and delicious local food. The whole day felt relaxed and well organized. A must-do for families looking to explore Albania! Highly recommend!

Thank You for the amazing Trip and Hospitality! - This is the 2nd tour we book with Visitious, this time Kevin was our guide, a wonderful intelligent and very very informed Guide.
Kevin was a very careful driver, he always stayed within the speed limit. always asked us if we were comfortable through out the drive...Just Amazing! After arriving we were hit by the stunning beauty of Berat, Kevin explained us the history and the cultural impact Berat has in all of Albania, Belsh and Durres were also very beautiful but i would say that Berat was the Highlight of the trip.
10/10 would recommend as they are very very careful the experience goes perfect down to the last detail!
Thank you Visitious Tours.

Kids LOVE this. - We went on this day trip with Jolaos and he made sure our family had the best time possible. My kids enjoyed the car ride with different info about history and especially Skenderbeg and bis war stories. We sang to different Albanian song along the way and we enjoyed visiting Berat but the highlight was our afternoon by the beach. Wife and I spent our time eating by the seaside while the kids played. This single day was a holiday on its own.

Day Trip in Albania. - Fun day in Albania with Visitious exploring Berat , Belsh and Durres.
We did some sightseeing and enjoyed the afternoon by the beach.
Learned a lot about the history and had the opportunity to relax and enjoy a seaside lunch.
Definitely reccomend if you want to fit as much as possible within a day without it becoming tired.

It was a truly memorable experience! - Berat was amazing! Especially the castle where you could marvel all the stunning views of the city. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and shared captivating stories about the history of the city.

Day Trip with UNESCO Site. - Berat was lovely and along the drive saw a lot of nice views around Belsh,Berat and Durres.
I wish went there during summer cause apparently you get a free afternoon by the beach before your guide drives you back.

Good visits, but not as expected - The 2 main stops are well worth visiting. First to Durres to see the remains of the amphitheatre, and then a short visit to a remarkable beach (Not to swim!!). Then a fairly lengthy ride to Berat, wherenthe Castle is superb, as were the houses in the village.
It is a lengthy trip, but well worth it.
You will doubtless be wondering why I have only given it 3 stars. We booked a Private Tour (see title) and were more than a little surprised to find someone else sitting in the front seat. Bad enough, but made worse by the driver/guide spending 70% of his time talking to this unknown passenger. All the reminders we had had referred to a private tour, which to most people would mean no one not in your group. Also, we had booked a 9am departure and this was on everything we had from Viator. The evening before we had a message from the driver to say pickup was at 8.30. Why? No choice given.
There was an early problem with the vehicle but this was quickly solved and is not reflected in the above.
So ...... if you are booking a so called private tour, do check before you go. We were really disappointed and feel that we have paid over the odds.
