Great sightseeing of village and nature - Excellent tour with our guide Bledi. There is a lot to see in this tour with beautiful authentic places, nature, great views over the lake and the mountains and a lovely small group. I can strongly advise to book this or another tour from this operator. You got more info, great athmosphère and it's a lot more convenient then renting a car in chaotic Tirana...

Entertaining Tour Guide you would love to have one - Our tour guide cum driver was very entertaining besides sharing the history of the significant places we visited but also cracking many jokes to make our trip fun.

A great day trip - Great tour - thank you! Prompt (early) pick up and drop off at my accommodation, great communication, guide was happy to answer all my questions, great value for money. Berat is beautiful - and the lake. We had a good balance between guided tour and free time for snacks / to see Berat centre. Thank you Nic and team! :) I had a lovely day!

Great adventure in a beautiful place - I had my trip tour Berat and it was great. Our guide, Kalejdi, was amazing. I discovered so much about Berat and Albanian culture, but it was so friendly as well. It was like having a trip with an old local friend showing you around. Well done, I will be back for sure

Great day trip to Berat ! - A fantastic day trip from Tirana to Berat with our guide Ervin. His knowledge brought the 'City of a Thousand Windows' to life as we explored the stunning Ottoman architecture and hilltop castle. Ervin's insights into local history and Albanian culture made it fascinating. His excellent English and friendly personality enhanced the experience. The views of Berat's iconic white houses and the Osum River were spectacular. If you're in Albania, this UNESCO site is a must-visit and Ervin makes for the perfect guide. A great blend of history, architecture, and Albanian culture.

A Journey Through Berat: History and Hospitality - We visited the city of Berat and Lake Belshi with Antonio, our guide. At the lake, it was lovely to walk around, enjoy the sunshine, and watch the swallows. While the lake was beautiful, the highlight of the tour was Berat itself. Walking through the castle, which is still inhabited, and seeing the city from the perfect photo spot chosen by Antonio, along with viewing Onufri's artworks and hearing stories about the architecture and old ways of life, made this experience unforgettable. Antonio took care of us during our free time as well, providing a list of the best places to visit, dishes to try, and drinks to enjoy. Thank you, Antonio, for guiding the tour with such thoughtfulness and sharing fascinating information that wasn’t overwhelming with historical facts and dates. Thanks also to Albania Tour for this wonderful experience and great organization.

Amazing day in Albania. - The whole day was wonderful! The tour guide was very informative and made sure we all got where we needed to be at the right time. Our driver was wonderful too. The lake, the Berat castle and dinner in Berat was lovely. The only thing I would change is more time at Lake Belshi. Thank you!

Interesting - The tour guide was great. Very knowledgable. 1 star taken off because Belshi lake was a bit of a nothing stop. Nothing to see and not that pretty. And the booking was for 9am pick up but ended up being 10.10 which wasted time for me in the morning
