Best day trip to Berat - We loved our guided trip from Tirana to Berat! Illr was our fabulous guide and took us by private car. Stopped for coffee on the way so 2 hour journey was not onerous. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the details of Berat castle and the churches and Byzantine mosques. He is college educated and has impeccable english. He answered so many questions about the complicated history and politics of Albania. Went to the ONUFRI iconographic museum and the church of dominion of St Mary and he had all the details of all the beautiful paintings. The most beautiful church we saw in Albania. There are 42 churches under the castle and 300 people still living inside the fortress walls. The view of the Osum river and bridges were awesome! Totally recommend Illr for your absolutely necessary day trip to Berat… don’t leave Albania without seeing it!!!

Having a great tour guide made the day wonderful! - Our tour guide was fabulous and incredibly knowledgeable on history, politics, religion to give us a well-rounded and long-term perspective of the dynamics in the region. He also knew great photo spots and the right angles for the castle in Berat. We opted last minute due to the intense heat to change some of the day's activities and hit the sea and he was more than accommodating, as well as a courteous and safe driver.
