Tirana to Kruja and Sari Salltik in 8 hours. English guide, Skanderbeg sites, Old Bazaar shopping, and mountain views for about $23.

“Really great experience, Kruja is very cute like Sari Salltik. U have the chance to see a very typical Albanian city and an authentic bazar. The guide tour Paola was the best to tell us everything and explain all about the place we visited. Included it’s only the transportation (little bus) and the guide, maybe for the Albanian standards 20 euros per person are a little too much. Anyway we enjoyed our experience I recommend”

Half day from Durrës or Golem to Kruja. Guided castle and Old Bazaar with great views, plus time for lunch and optional museums.

“I booked this tour because I only had an afternoon to visit Kruja, and it did not disappoint. Kruja is a beautifully preserved historical town, and you can really feel the Albanian spirit there. The communication was great, and our guide, was very attentive and knowledgeable. He explained the history clearly and even showed us hidden spots around the castle that you’d never find on your own. After the tour, we had plenty of free time to explore. I also recommend visiting the museum it’s beautiful and very informative. Overall, an excellent experience!”

“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…”
