We took this trip in September. From the moment we arrived we knew we would have a good time. Our guide Artur made us feel very welcome, with his knowledge and humour. I didn’t know what to expect with Albania, only that it was a beautiful country and it was opening up for tourism. Despite some negative reports of crime etc, we wanted to go before it got to busy.. the history of the county is fascinating. There is so much to see and learn and Artur was a font of knowledge. We became engrossed in the history, the different periods of time with castles and ruins to it up back up, to the present time. Our driver Dion was brilliant at traversing the very high and winding roads. He was very helpful to us all and great at taking group photographs. We loved the food and there was a great choice, all freshly cooked. The hotels were very comfortable. And the views. After each view, we didn’t think they could get better, but the did. A wonderful place to visit. We loved Albania. I could write more, as there is so much to say about Albania.

The accommodations were unacceptable.

I encourage anyone who wants to learn more about Albania to take this cultural tour. I hope you are lucky and get Artur as your guide and Diu as your driver. These men are pros. I loved traveling around the country to visit several UNESCO World Heritage sites, small towns, the national forest, and the coast line. Albania is changing so quickly as it commercially develops. You can still experience the old Albania through its traditional costumes, dances, and small towns.
