  VATO was really good. My sister and i went to Albania during off season and it was quite hard for us to get a tour company that could accommodate us especially that we were only 2 people. Isuf from VATO responded really quickly when we messaged through TourRadar and was able to make amendments to the main itinerary to suit our needs and preference. We literally contacted him on Friday afternoon, he rovided additional info, sorted all the changes and quotes by Saturday morning and we were on the tour getting picked up from the airport on Sunday morning, we really appreciated the efficiency and reliance we could place on the company. We did a 7 day tour round South albania - we took the 6 day tour but asked to add the blue eye and additional day to visit the Benja thermal baths. Our tour guide Olsi was really great. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited being able to give us more thorough information beyond the texts we see in the museums and was good in providing us an insight in the current life in Albania. It was a really nice experience. Olsi was also from Berat itself and gave us a really special experience in Berat, bringing us to local areas for good food (he had chef training previously and therefore a fellow foodie himself) and also to a really nice local place for raki where the a couple operated from their house itself and came out to sit and talk with us too while we were there. It was really nice. Olsi also isn't pushy with timelines etc, he allows us to go at our own pace but gives us the best experiences/opportunities with the time that he has - like if we left a little late from a place on our own account, he would try his best to adjust the schedule to see what we can best see with the time and daylight we have (given its near winter and daylight was short) - be weather it was racing round catch a sunset or swapping round activities to accommodate the weather etc. Overall a very enjoyable experience and given the circumstanceswe were in, Olsi and VATO did a really great job and we really appreciate that. Thanks.Show more

  Albania has much to offer and we thoroughly enjoyed what we saw and did, however we were not happy with the driving or accommodation. We will send a report to the tour operator in full. Unfortunately until some of these problems are rectified we believe we can’t recommend to other Australians.Show more

  An truly excellent and memorable tour with a great group. We knew little about beautiful Albania but returned home having learned so much, seen so much, and experienced so much. The tour is highly recommended as it is well organized and has a very good itinerary. All the hotels were comfortable and very clean although not necessarily luxurious. We had some superb breakfast buffets as well as good food everywhere.Show more

  It was a very memorable trip and one that we would suggest to other people. Thank you for a wonderful journey! My kids and I were so pleased with the trip. Our guide, as well as the driver, was outstanding: polite, patient, friendly, and a safe driver. They made sure we were always safe and that really helped us to enjoy the experience. The locations of the hotels were good. Visit Albania did a fine job!Show more

  It was a wonderful experience. A country with not much known history, culture and traditions from us. Such amazing people to meet and places to visit. We loved the citi of Berat. Thanks to our albanian guide we learned all the amazing story and legends of this city. Gjirokastra was the tween of Berat with to much diversities. Wonderful places in the north also. The acomodation in the hotels was very comfortable and the food was delicious. Our guide Isuf was full of energy, enthusiast and perfect in comunication with a keen sense of direction. We enjoyed any day in Albania. Planing to come back again next year in the summer to visit all the riviera. Although the weather was very good now in november it was to late for the beach :) .Show more
