“My husband and I have never done a multi day guided tour before, but when researching Albania, I was a little intimidated by the public transportation/bus system so we opted for a guided tour. I am SO glad we did. Every day when I thought there was no way the view or experience could get any more surreal or beautiful, somehow it did! Albania’s beauty is absolutely breathtaking. Our tour guide, Sergej, did such an incredible job at not only getting us from point A to B, but educating us on Albania’s history and customs. He easily connected with us and we felt like we were with a friend instead…”
