He took us to all the spots and showed us around the beautiful city. Due to some unforeseen situation, our return home was delayed, which we didn’t mind. We enjoyed the opportunity to explore more, sit at a cafe and have ice cream and exchange experiences. If you’re in Tirana and have time, we highly recommend this tour. It’s a long day but Mario took very good care of us. This is a journey we will remember and treasure forever!”

He made a point to stop at the best photo spots, introduced us to the locals, and shared the town’s history with us. We stopped for lunch back in Theth and overall had an amazing experience. It was extremely laid back. The hike to the waterfall might be a little rough for some but it’s not technical, just steep in some spots.”

9.Private Montenegro Tour – Budva, Kotor & Sveti Stefan from Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 46 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $222

Private Montenegro day trip from Tirana with Kotor Old Town, St Tryphon Cathedral, Sveti Stefan and Budva, plus hotel pickup and English guide.

“This is false advertising. We did not stop at several of the stops let alone for the time that was stated in the itinerary. I’d recommend going on your own or with a different company. The guide himself was nice, albeit a wild driver (50kmph over the speed limit). Sadly, this was not worth the money spent. After bringing this up to the company and Viator the only compensation was 50€ retuned. Unfortunately, we paid over 4 times that originally.”

We visited both enchanted castles of Sarande and Gjirokaster, we also were amazed with the wonderful Blue Eye, and spend amazing time by the magical Ksamil beach! We had a nice sea food lunch in one of the nice Ksamil beach restaurants!! Our guide Ari was very knowledgeable and we had a good time with him, he is also an excellent driver. He took very good care of…”

“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…”
