Relaxed tour with excellent guide - We had a great day with our guide Idrit. He texted us the night before to confirm best pick up time and was punctual on arrival. His knowledge of Albanian history and culture was encyclopaedic! Also he was very personable and fun. We had full flexibility to spend as much or as little time as we needed at each stop. All stops were as advertised and Shkodra Castle was a highlight. I can recommend this tour for those wanting to experience a range of Albanian experiences.

Magnificent views from Ottoman castle and beautiful landscapes - This tour was as advertised and all the places listed were visited. The Ottoman castle at Shkodra ruins revealed magnificent views over the surrounding area mountains, rivers and lake. Shengjin revealed a hidden secret of a long dark sandy beach. Skerdi was a very good driver and a courteous and informative guide who answered all my questions. Left Tiana at 8.30am and returned by 6pm. Highly recommended tour.

Wonderful day at Skhodra and relaxing time at Shengjin Beach - I had a wonderful time in Shkodra today thanks to Adi. He was knowledgeable, funny, down-to-earth and also very professional. He also brought us to a nice restaurant by the lake that served a very delicious carp casserole that is local to Skhodra Lake. The tour ended with a relaxing time at Shengjin beach, with an option to swim in the sea.

Great scenery awaits. - Gave our experience 5 stars as Ardi looked after us so well. Being picked up and dropped back at hotel was great. The view from the Castle was spectacular, as is the lake, what an amazing scene. If Ardi asks more time at Lake or Beach,,,choose the Lake and go for a walk. For us, Shenglin was done in 10 minutes (we have beautiful and free beaches in Australia). It was good to get a taste of the North
