Berat and Gjirokaster Private 2 Day Tour

From Tirana to Himare

Elidon is an excellent guide and a wonderful person. He shared so much history of Albania with us and took us to several different places on our way to Himare with a stop in Berat. I highly recommend him as a guide

Saranda:Lekursi Castle, Blue Eye, Gjirokaster & More Tour

Amazing day trip with our...

Amazing day trip with our knowledgeable guide Ilir. The guide told us about Albania in a very passionate way. He explained everything along the way and on the stops we made in an interesting way. Enough time on each stop to walk around. The minivan was comfortable and it was easy to find one of the pickup points. On the way back he dropped us off at our accommodations. The best tour if you wish to see the Blue Eye, Gjirokaster and other places around Saranda I recommend everyone to make this tour! Thank you Ilir

Best of Albania Explorer 8 days Tour

Eye-opening Albania Tour.

Trish and I had not done this type of holiday for 40 years and found it quite “full on” with long days of touring round the amazing historical sites of Albania. Having said that, there can be no better way to get to know a hitherto unknown country (to us)! Our guide, Mentor Mimani was a terrific guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his native country. Our driver Arien was brilliant too, as were our fellow travellers in the modern and comfortable 20-seat coach. Well done Exotica tours and great value for money.
