VERY COMPLETE AND ENRICHING EXPERIENCE

5.00Quite a discovery! We found it very difficult to find an agency with guides in Spanish in Tirana and they have been the perfect solution. We did the day trips to Berat and the next day to Kruja. Communication was excellent from the beginning and impeccable punctuality; always professional and pending any doubt. And what about our guide Jetmir? Amazing and super close, it was like going with an Albanian friend who explains everything with passion. I felt very comfortable at all times, something I value very much. We loved the experience; it shows when someone knows and loves their culture. They were our first full-day tours and they flew past us thanks to him. I will definitely choose you again on another trip and of course you will have all my recommendations. An experience of 10!"
