Unmissable - I really enjoyed the tour to Berat. It was great. The views are breathtaking and our guide/driver Alton was awesome. It was really great.

Convenient and Fun Day Trip from Tirana - I did this day tour in October 2023 as a solo traveler. Belsh was quiet and peaceful; Berat was the highlight of the tour. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this day tour. It was a seamless experience; I was picked up from my hotel in the morning and back in Tirana for dinner. Ledi, my tour guide, was charismatic, funny and knowledgeable. Sirma, the organizer, was helpful in organizing the logistics of the tour and my airport transit. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Best day in Berat! - Our guide Arian was phenomenal- on time, very accommodating, knowledgeable, great English speaking, and kind. We had a great day visiting an interesting castle and the town of Berat. We learned so much more about this wonderful culture and history. Thank you!

Great tour with attentive guide - Great guide, very informative and attentive to our needs and wishes! Took care of us very well and accommodated what we needed without any fuss!

Berat 1001 windows city - Berat is a must see! We really enjoyed our tour with Redon. Amazing experience! He was knowledgeable and explained about history and culture of Albania

An amazing Albanian experience - My congratulations to the amazing office staff at Choose Balkans. I couldn't have gone on the tour without them going out of their way to accommodate me. The tour was perfect, great variety and a wonderful ride thru the Central Albanian landscape. My amazing tour guide Gezim gave a running commentary of the agriculture, history, especially of the effects from WWII to the 90s, and life in general today. So glad I was able to experience Berat. An excellent company.

Very Accommodating Tour Company and Guide - We decided to book this tour very last minute (9pm the day before) and the team at Choose Balkans was super accommodating and put the tour together for us right away. Our tour guide, Zamir, came to pick us up from our accommodation and we ended up having a private tour with him. Zamir was super accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our tour was only supposed to include visiting Berat and Belsh Lake, but upon hearing that we wanted to go swimming, Zamir took us to a beautiful beach and even lent my boyfriend his swim shorts. We enjoyed our tour very much and would recommend booking with Choose Balkans!

Local Insights - Everything from the moment I booked my private tour was professional and efficient. I was sent messages before and after the tour. I learned about the history of Albania as well as the current culture and traditions. It was well paced and the places chosen for lunch and ice cream were excellent. Taulant, my guide, was knowledgeable and personable. He shared a lot of insider information that can only come from a local. I would request him again for the next time I visit.

Excellent tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide - I loved my tour to the lovely cities of Berat and Durres and really enjoyed seeing a little bit of Albania beyond Tirana. Armando was an excellent tour guide who never rushed the tour and taught me a lot about Albania - it’s people, history, society and geography. The car journey was very comfortable and there was ample time to stop for photos, rest stops and food when needed. Before the tour, there was excellent communication from Sirma in Choose Balkans to confirm pick up times etc. Although this tour looked a little pricier than some others advertised, I think it was absolutely worth it given the great guide, comfortable journey and very good organisation. I would not hesitate to book another tour from Choose Balkans if/when I return!

A place to visit - This tour was really amazing, this is definitely something to do when you visit Albania :) the view from the Castle and the villages. Our guide, Gjergj, was great ! This experience would not be the same without him. We started the visit in English and then, he switched to French (our mother tongue) to make it easier for us (we did not know that French was also possible, so good to know for the future).
