Great Day in Berat - We took this tour a couple of days ago and enjoyed it a lot! The driver picked us up on time, allowing the tour to begin smoothly. Then, we began our travels through various cities until we reached Belsh Lake and spent some time viewing this natural beauty. Later we went to another lake, located in Dumrea Eco Park, which was just as breathtaking as the first. We stopped there for a drink, and headed back to the bus. The next stop: Berat Castle and City. We arrived at the castle and our guide began explaining what we were looking at, making it come to life. Having enjoyed taking countless pictures, we entered the van again and went to have lunch. The place that our guide recommended served amazing local food at a very reasonable price, but they also gave us the option to explore on our own for about one hour. After lunch, we took some more pictures of the Berat City and the Mandalem neighbourhood and got in the van for the last time of the day.

A good day out - Did what it says on the box. Pick within promised time range, group of 6 i.e not larger than 8, Minibus was rather aged, aircon not working - could be a problem in hot weather. Berat castle superb medieval site, hard work for anyone with some kind of mobility issue (like me!) , but there's a cafe at the top!!! Lunch (to be paid for) in local taverna; very enjoyable. Overall, a good trip

Unprofessional - avoid - Booked this day trip with them through Viator, they cancelled at the last minute so Viator won't let me review them. The day trip was booked 4 months in advance then cancelled with less than 12 hours notice so wasn't able to book an alternative as it was my last day in Tirana. Spoiled the trip.

Do not go on this trip - If you stay in Tirana, don’t go on this trip. You end up spending nearly 4 hours extra on the bus. The bus go down to Durres to pick up passangers on many diferent hotels. It took more than two hours before We startes driving to Beret. And nearly the same on the way back.
You are better of taking the regular bus. The Belsh lake is realy nothing to see. Just a small lake beside a small town.
Everything you do on the trip is free of charge. It’s no entryfee to eirher the castle or the bridge. We did not go to any museums. We did not get any water. We did not get any time in the town of Berat, We just went to the castle and over the bridge. Then we should return. I argued to get 15 minutes in the town. Witch was the main reason for the trip. ( to see the town)
In my booking it was writen pick up time 09.15. At 06.00 in the morning, I got a tekst message saying that the pick up was at 08.00. Luckely I am a ligth sleeper, if not, I would miss it.
I do not recomend this trip. Save you money and take the regular bus. You’ll be better of.
