Albania Tours and Trips

Fabulous mountain scennery, lovely food and accomodation, and fascinating history and cutural highlights. We had a knowledgeable Albanian guide and the group size of 16 was just right. As described, the holiday was full-on!

This trip covered a huge range of experiences of Albania and is to be commended for that range. Dritan, our guide helped to embellish this with his historical knowledge, humour and obvious love for his country. He was great company. Albania was an eye-opening experience. The pace was full-on and I did wonder whether it would benefit from a more relaxed pace over a longer period - say 14 days.

A great trip. Such an interesting country. A diverse itinerary. Dennis, our guide was amazing. He had an extensive knowledge of his country and very passionate about Albania’ future.

A great way to explore a country. We had an excellent local guide who shared his love of Albania. Stayed in good quality hotels. Wonderful people, great food. Woukd holiday with Explore again. In fact we are looking at the walking holiday in North Albania for a future trip.

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.

Albi was a great guide. One of the best we have had with Explore. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. The scenery of the Alps was amazing and all the Albanian people very friendly.
