Explore Albania’s Osumi Canyon from Berat with guided canyoning, swims, lunch, gear, legends, and hotel transfers for $47.18.
“Superleuk! Prachtige natuur, echt een aanrader. De kinderen (10 en 12 jaar) vonden het fantastisch om van de rotsen te springen, je mag zelf kiezen of je dit al dan niet wenst te doen.”
Sail from Saranda to Krorëza, Kakome, Soldier’s Beach, and Qefal with lunch, swims, sunbeds, and a relaxed catamaran crew.
“Excellent day on the water! The boat was not full so it was easy to find a spot - pro tip don’t get the bean bag chairs… get yourself a spot near the bar for later (shade that you will want after a lot of sun) and then use the nets as all the people on bean bag chairs are lounging in the sun already so they should be free to use! They served us watermelon and cantaloupe after our first swim stop which was very fresh and tasty. The crew, especially Mario (who was also the chef) were great and the lunch (seafood linguini) looked amazing. I didn’t have…”
Review of Berat’s Tomori Mountain off-road and mule tour, with a forest hike, ruined castle, Albanian picnic, guide details, and practical tips.
“The drive up and down involves bouncing around in a 4x4 and winding up loose gravel tracks and watching the landscape change as you get higher. The hike is through pine forest and beautiful landscapes, with Mount Tomor looming above impressively. The castle is definitely a ruin, with no standing walls remaining, but the location is very scenic. The lunch is delicious as well, with several Albanian specialties. The guides are happy to answer any questions and have everything well organised.”
Explore Pellumbas Cave, Erzen River canyons, lunch, and Petrela Castle on a small-group hiking tour from Tirana.
“Troppo caldo! Per il periodo il tour è troppo faticoso, e poi non c’è stato il tempo per vedere i canyon! Guida empatica, disponibile, se non fosse stato per lui avremmo avuto grossi problemi! Era prevista una guida in inglese, ma parlava perfettamente italiano, fortunatamente!”
Explore Kruja Castle, Skanderbeg Museum, Old Bazaar, and Mount Sarisalltik with lunch, drinks, transport, and a small group.
“Kruje is unique since it is the birthplace of Skanderberg and it is the place where he stayed while fighting with the Ottomans. Overlooking views from the castle and Mount Sarisalltik were fantastic. Visiting the Skanderberg Museum and the national ethnographic museum was informative and educational. Arlind is a cool and friendly tour guide.”
Review of the Vlore and Himare beach tour from Tirana, with lunch, Gjipe Beach, Llogara Pass views, transport, and practical tips.
“We visited Vlorë and Himarë on a day trip, and it was truly the highlight of our Albania tour. The journey was quite long, so I would recommend making it a two-day trip if possible—or spending less time in Vlorë, as Himarë is definitely worth dedicating more time to. Our driver was excellent, very kind and attentive, always checking if we needed anything. He also shared interesting details about the local history, attractions, and monuments in Vlorë. Himare itself is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear turquoise water at the perfect temperature for swimming and sandy clean beach. Be sure to come prepared! We were offered beach loungers, as well as access…”

Review of a private Gjirokastra day trip from Tirana with castle, bazaar, Zekate House, Blue Eye, lunch, and hotel pickup.
“Henri, our tour guide in Gjirokastra, was fantastic! He made our visit to this historic city truly special. Henri's knowledge of the local history and culture was impressive, and he shared it with enthusiasm and a friendly approach. He took us to hidden spots and shared stories that made the tour both informative and engaging. What I loved most was that Henri's passion for Gjirokastra was contagious, and it felt like we were exploring the city with a local friend. If you're planning a trip to Gjirokastra and want to make the most of it, I highly recommend booking a tour with Henri!”
