- Brooke· June 16th, 2019What a trip! First, compared to most similar small group tours I've taken (where 4-5* Western hotels & buffets are not the norm), I was pleasantly surprised by the hotels. They were all small boutique hotels (except one) and very centrally located. Two hotels weren't the usual ones due to construction right in the center (very thoughtful of them to move us) and a massive car/bike rally that exceptionally had most hotels in one town fully booked WAY in advance. That was the only night where accommodations were just ok, but on par with what I'm used to from tour hotels. Our driver/organizer, Rando, was a character! He has a ton of energy and, because there were only 5 people, we made extra stops. His love of his country and sheer joy in sharing as many places as possible with us made for long, busy days, but you'll really feel like you know the Southern region of the country at the end! He also ordered us so many amazing local dishes for lunch (many veggie-friendly) that our group barely ate dinner, despite a good level of activity! Our local tours were great, with the Alpeta winery being a highlight! Good Albania really went out of their way to accommodate transportation at the end (one pair arranged an extra day to Greece! Another to the ferry from Durrës, etc). There was generally great communication before also. Nothing to do with the company, which was great; however, if you're not keen on being out in high heat (90+F or 33+C), come before June or after August! It was above the normal averages this week, so the hillside hikes (in limited shade) would have been more enjoyable in lower temperatures. Rando did shuffle the schedule a little so the main city tours and 2nd hike were earlier or later in the day, which helped to avoid peak heat and sun.Show moreGood Albania commented on this reviewThanks for the awesome review Brooke! We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us—and we agree, Rando is truly a gem to have on our team! Come back and see us soon. Thanks again! GeriTrip date: June 2019
- MTMelissa· April 28th, 2019Albania is such a wonderful country to visit. Definitely a hidden gem, this country is rich with history and culture and this tour introduces it to you. If anyone is looking for something more relaxing, this is the perfect tour for you! Good Albania was awesome, my friend and I joined a group tour and were lucky enough to end up having a private tour with our amazing tour guide Rando! People are great, service is amazing and it's such a safe country. Visit Albania before it's overrun by tourists! Thanks Rando, and all the local guides/hosts we met on the trip. We had a lovely time in Albania. Looking forward to come back in 10 yrs or so!Show moreTrip date: April 2019
- PMPeter· October 20th, 2018We did the Local Food and Unesco Heritage Tour. We found this most interesting and comprehensive of the Central and Southern areas of Albania. Andy, our Guide and Migert, our driver worked well together and made a great team, making this tour so much more interesing. The organisation for the trip was well done and many interesting sights covered. Our day with a local family was just great and they were so welcoming. We learnt so much about Albania, its history and its culture. We would recommend this tour to others.Show moreTrip date: August 2018
- Chris· November 22nd, 2017In early November 2017, my wife and I took the 8 day tour of Southern Albania (Local Food and Unesco Heritage tour). We loved every minute and can highly recommend it. We covered an immense amount of geographic, cultural, and culinary ground in this trip. Even though the week contained a seemingly impossible amount of places, people, meals, and other activities, the pace was ideal. There was a perfect balance of scheduled events and alone time for exploring or relaxing on our own. Our guides were consummate professionals with incredible attention to detail. They are obviously very experienced because everything went so smoothly, but never did things feel routine or scripted. The level of interest and enthusiasm they maintained kept it from feeling like a canned experience. We felt like a group of friends on an adventure together. We were initially on the fence about a guided tour because it seemed so unlike the way we normally like to travel. But Albania from the outside appeared to be more opaque a place than we normally visit. Not much information is available online, and quite a bit of what we did find turned out to be out of date (this country is changing really fast). We’re so happy we chose to go with GoodAlbania. No amount of planning or exploring on our own could have given us as exciting, as honest, or as memorable a trip to this amazing country.Show moreTrip date: November 2017
- JSJade· October 15th, 2017The leader and driver were great, looking after us as if we were friends. The tour pace was about right, it was never 100% clear upfront what all the plans were for each day which was often nice, as we had an idea from the itinerary but some of the little stops etc were just built in to fit the vibe. There were a couple of key things included each day as per the itinerary, but also time to ourselves. If we needed to stop along the road for a break, or take a picture, or spend a bit longer in x then this was all doable. We weren't sure about taking a tour, but having travelled with Good Albania on their Local Food and Unesco Heritage tour we are so glad we did, the local experiences, attention to detail and way of travel get a thumbs up from us. This tour was one of the best we have done.Show moreTrip date: September 2017
- RDRandi· October 3rd, 2017I had an awesome experience with Good Albania - better than I could have ever imagined! The guides, Geri and Rando, were so accommodating and personable, not to mention extremely passionate and knowledgable about Albania. I learned much more than I would have touring on my own. Can't recommend Good Albania enough!!Show moreTrip date: July 2017

Asked on July 11th, 2023If I am the only one to book do I pay extra to still be able to travel at this time? I am from Australia and this is the only date I can travel. Am I able to transfer to another tour operating at this time?

Erika
Traveler•Written July 2023Response time is so slow I now have doubts about the reliability of the tour operator. Will this tour give all it is advertising?
- Good AlbaniaOperator•Written July 2023
Unfortunately our Albania: Local Food & UNESCO Heritage has not a guaranteed departure yet for the 18th of September. In case it ends up being the only one booked on this date, we have the option to run the tour with an additional fee of €. 440,00. Regarding a transfer to another tour operating at this time, we have reached out to my colleagues of TourRadar and they will get back to you on it.

Asked on June 27th, 2023The travel days are not itemised against the descriptions of the tour. Please explain. There are no days assigned to the towns being visited. Do they get changed around? What amount of travel time occurs for each day? It seems to be a lot of travelling between towns. I am looking at the Local Food and Unesco Heritage tour on Sept 18 to 23.
- Good AlbaniaOperator•Written June 2023
The tour starts with 2 nights in Tirana, then 2 nights in Saranda and 2 nights in Berat, with visits and total driving time as follows: Day 1 Travel Day & Tirana (30min), Day 2 The Old Capital of Kruja & Mrizi i Zanave Agrotourism (3h), Day 3 Saranda via Sightseeing tour of Gjirokaster (UNESCO) (4h), Day 4 The Blue Eye Spring, Butrint National Park (UNESCO) & Mussel Tour Boat Ride (30min), Day 5 Berat via Porto Palermo Bay & Albanian Riviera Road (3h), Day 6 Walking Tour & Local Food in Berat (UNESCO) (30min), Day 7 Flight Home (1h Berat to Tirana Airport).

Asked on August 6th, 2022Confirm availability and cost for 1 person single private room departing Sept 21, 2022. Is airport pick up included? Is airport drop off included? How many people are expected on this tour?
- Good AlbaniaOperator•Written August 2022
The pricing for 1 person in a single private room is of USD 1,410.67. Airport pick up is included indeed but the drop off is not. You can add it though during the booking process or I can add this to you when adding the date of the tour (price of drop off is USD 28.00). We highly advise to spend a couple of more days pre/post tour in the capital of Tirana as this tour just touches it on the first day. The Sept 21st departure is a guaranteed departure and we are capping this tour date at 8 travelers. Most likely you will be 5-6 travelers on tour.
