“nn sono soddisfatta della guida. poco socievole, poco informata sui posti, è sembrato ke ci stesse facendo un favore a portarci in giro. durante tutte le ore di viaggio non ha mai argomentato o anche semplicemente fatto una chiacchierata. eravamo solo in 2, di certo non x colpa ns, ci metteva ansia per l ora del ritrovo, mandandoci un msg anke 10minuti prima, nonostante eravamo sempre puntuali. menomale tt questo è stato compensato dai 2posti ke abbiamo visitato. su Valona nn posso commentare perche lui ha consigliato di non andarci, perche per un caffè nn serviva fare un ora d traffico e quindi ascoltando il suo consiglio nn c siamo…”

3.Tandem paragliding Albania (Llogara)

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 22 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $140

Tandem paragliding in Albania’s Llogara National Park with hotel pickup, a safety briefing, and a take-home flight video, about 45 minutes.

“It is amazing. I had always wanted to go paragliding, and when I finally went I couldn't believe how amazing it is. It's honestly like flying! I personally had almost no adrenaline left; it's really not that scary. But the view! I could see for miles! I love mountains ❤️ Everybody was so far below me. It was also better than an airplane for me because I could feel the wind on my skin and I wasn't confined to a window for viewing purposes. If you like rollercoasters and aren't afraid of heights, I would definitely recommend it! If you are in Albania yes go for this. This crew is…”

5.Visit Vlore & Himare Beaches includes lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $215

11-hour small-group trip from Tirana to Vlorë, Himarë and Gjipe Beach, with lunch and beach loungers included.

“The scenery on the way to the beaches at Vlore and Himare is absolutely stunning. It was a gorgeous, sunny day but a bit too cool for swimming. We really didn't miss it because of our guides, Erdi and Hertel. We have been on many tours in many countries and this one was the most enjoyable of all. In addition to being very knowledgeable of Albanian history, they were a lot of fun to be with. I highly recommend this tour with or without these guides, but if you get them, it will be your lucky day.”

Small-group 4-day tour from Tirana to Berat, Gjirokastër, Butrint, Sarandë, the Albanian Riviera, Vlorë, and Durrës.

“I contacted Enjoy Travel quite last minute asking about a tour (the week before we travelled in October!) and Genci responded very promptly, and was able to organise our tour as requested. The tour itself was great - well organised, covering key sites in southern Albania, good quality hotels, knowledgeable guide, lovely meals included, and above all smooth. Genci also recommended some good places to eat (for the meals not covered in the tour cost). I would really recommend.”

7.Private Tour from Tirana, Gjirokastër , Saranda and South Riviera

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $156

Private day trip from Tirana to Gjirokastër, Blue Eye, Saranda and Porto Palermo, with castles, views, and coffee along the way.

“The 2 main stops are well worth visiting. First to Durres to see the remains of the amphitheatre, and then a short visit to a remarkable beach (Not to swim!!). Then a fairly lengthy ride to Berat, wherenthe Castle is superb, as were the houses in the village. It is a lengthy trip, but well worth it. You will doubtless be wondering why I have only given it 3 stars. We booked a Private Tour (see title) and were more than a little surprised to find someone else sitting in the front seat. Bad enough, but made worse by the driver/guide spending 70% of his time talking to this unknown…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $55

3-hour Dhermi boat tour to Filikuri beach with Pirates and Pigeons caves, swims, and snorkeling gear, sailing past Himara’s coast.

“We had actually planned to do a different trip, but gotten a message in the morning telling us it was too choppy. We were a bit disappointed first, but walked down to their office later on anyway and Tina suggested a different beach to us. Because there were no other people there that wanted to go, we got a private ride for the same price. The beach was absolutely stunning!”
