Great Private Tour of Southern Albania

5.00Our group (3 Americans) booked this tour and enjoyed it a lot! Our tour guide Skerdi B was very professional, knowledgeable, familiar with his culture, history, and locale. He shared with us the history of the country, interesting information on each of the places we went to, shared/sang some of the traditional/unique music of Albania. The accommodations at each location were very nice but different. In Gjirokastër we stayed at a more traditional accommodation a short walk from the main area and the castle. Food, beverages, and things to buy were plentiful. In Himara we stayed in a seaside hotel, just a minute walk from the beach and a ton of restaurants and water tour options. Part of this package was a boat tour of the area including Pirates Cave and another one whose name I forgot. We stopped a few times and got in the crystal clear water (cool and refreshing). I decided to swim with my iPhone to one of the areas (holding phone above water with one hand) and Skerdi was gracious enough to not only take some photos of my wife and I in the water but also to swim back to the boat with the iPhone above water (saving me from having to do so). Other things we did on the tour was to go to Peshturës waterfall which unfortunately was dry (dry summer) but still beautiful hike and view (hike probably medium skill level), and a short stop at Skerdi’s parents’ place where we were warmly greeted by his mom with some homemade cheese and raki. Albanians have a reputation of being very friendly and welcoming and this was what we experienced. The great thing is that this was a private tour - three of us and Skerdi in a comfortable air conditioned vehicle. It was nice not being on a tour with a large group of people or strict timelines but rather a relaxing and enjoyable time. We would definitely do this tour again and others with the Local Friends Albania tour group!
Incredible tour through South Albania!

5.00This Albanian tour was absolutely amazing! From the ancient streets of Gjirokastra to the stunning natural beauty of the Blue Eye, and the peaceful beaches of Himara Rivera, every stop was a gem. Gjirokastra is a historical treasure with its Ottoman architecture and breathtaking castle views. Walking through the Old Bazaar felt like stepping back in time. The Blue Eye was a magical natural spring with incredibly clear, vibrant blue water surrounded by lush greenery. It's peaceful and stunning! Lastly, Himara Rivera is the perfect coastal retreat. The beaches are pristine, and the fresh seafood along the coast is unbeatable. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the Mediterranean charm. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a mix of culture, nature, and relaxation!
Amazing experience!
