Choose Balkans from booking to helping in arranging our tours were professional, pleasant & responsive to our travel requirements.
They arranged a private tour for us with a guide and a clean comfortable car for us to visit Kruja and Berat for a day trip from Tirana.
Our guide Juli was great, he is very friendly, informative and obliging, one of the nicest guides we have had in our travels around the world.
Kruja is the ancestral home town of Skanderbeg Albanian hero and it’s a small town with the ruins of Kruja fortress, an interesting museum about Skanderbeg and Albania and a cute market with local arts and crafts. It’s a small town so it’s easily done in a couple of hours.
We choose to go to Berat rather than Durres. Berat is very picturesque & historical. We had a nice lunch there and then toured Berat castle, Onufri museum, the old town and its attractions and Juli gave us ample time to also explore the town on our own too.
We had a great time and highly recommend visiting both destinations.
