It was a rainy day in Albania but Adi did not let the weather impact the tour. Adi picked me up right on time and was a safe driver. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and really seemed to enjoy his job. We started first with Kruja and then after drove to Durres. Both towns are so different from Tirana that it was nice to experience more local food and places. Lunch was a delicious seafood/Italian place directly on the coast in Durres. I fully enjoyed my day exploring Albania with Adi. Thank you.

This was a great way to get out of Tirana and see more of Albania! Especially if you are only in the area for a few days. Adi gave a lot of insightful info about the areas, and was great to take the day trip with. It was really neat getting to see the mountains and the sea, all in one day. Seaside is beautiful, and the castle/ museum were very interesting.
