“Bris was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in providing a welcoming and comfortable experience every step of the way….and there were steps! The journey to Kruja showed the beauty country side of this part of Albania. Bris shared his in depth knowledge of the Castle and Skanderbeg Museum with obvious pride in its history and was extremely patient in answering any questions.

“As a bit of context, everything that go wrong pretty much did. From cancelled flight and loosing accomodations etc. I though this tour would also lost, but the guide held his end of the deal even though I was the only one for the day, the rest of the people couldn't make it (probably because of the same reasons). It was pretty much a day with a friend showing me around, we made it to all the sites early, had them all to myself and do some extra. Just go on this tour that goes to Kruja also, just the lake seems a bit of a scam-ish.”

“We had a great day with Henri. He was very flexible and adapting the tour based on what we were most interested in (e.g. whether we drove or walked up the mountain, and whether we wanted a guided tour of Kruje or a bit of freedom). After picking us up from our apartment at a time of our choice, we started the drive, and Henri told us about Tirana. We saw the amazing view at Bovilla Lake and we had plenty of time to explore the summit and take in the views over a coffee. Then we went to Kruje where we also had time to explore. Everything was booked…”

“Great all-day trip to explore some of the other sides of Albania! Kruja is up in the mountains and Durres is by the sea so you get to see a little of everything! Our guide Adi was wonderful! Great with communication and right on time so we could get going right away. He showed us through kruja and some of the less known parts of the castle grounds which was great getting away from the crowds. Admission into the castle (which is really a musuem) is not included but only 5€ and very worth it. Adi came in with us and gave us a guided tour inside, which was great…”
