We are Indian passport holders living in USA and on Green card (permanent resident), do we need any additional visas to visit?

what are all things includes in the package?

I see in the listing that professional tour guide and driver is NOT included. Is that an extra cost on top of what we already pay, and if so, how much?

It is a listing mistake and we will fix it. Professional tour guide is included throughout the tour.

Need to know how much I and my hubby need to pay

The price will be 960 euros per person if we do a group of 4.

Can I book this tour for 3 persons? Do you have any device that translates to Spanish for my aunt, who doesn't speak English?

At the moment, we don't have any devices for translation, but I can look into options for renting or purchasing one. On the other hand, I will also check if we can arrange a Spanish-speaking guide for your aunt. I can't promise anything just yet, as Spanish-speaking guides are quite rare in Albania, but we will try our best. In the worst-case scenario, would your group be comfortable with an English-speaking guide? The good news is that the tour lasts 3 days, so we'll have enough time to speak slowly and ensure there's room for you to translate to your aunt.

I want to take your this tour from Tirana on 22 April 2025. I am just one person. Can you please tell me if you have other people for this travel and whether I can buy the package as one person?

For the time being we do not meet the minimum required participants for this tour so we can not confirm departure. This tour requires a minimum of 4 participants to confirm departure. This tour can be done privately but for an added cost. Would you like us to add you to our system and inform you prior to the tour on the avaliability?

I am actually not looking for a private tour but to part of this group tour but with a single occupancy for the room (& not share it with any one) as I would be traveling alone and am not comfortable sharing. The link however does not give me the option to select a room for 1 traveler. Given this, could you please let me know, if this option is feasible and if yes, what would be the single supplement charges for this group tour please.

We can offer the tour as a Private tour for one party only but the price would be different. The total would be 1900 euro including the platform fee.

I want to know the difference between private and non private tour. about package, accommodation etc. thanks

Dear Andi, Thanks for your reply. I just want to confirm this trip includes sightseeing and hotel stay?

I'm a solo traveler and looking to share accommodation with another traveler. is it possible?

Unfortunately, we do not have other people for the same tour with a departure on the 30th of December yet.

We are interested in this tour and we would like to start the tour on April 5th. Will a tour be starting on that day? What is the price of this tour per person (based on double occupancy)? We have a friend who might be interested in the tour but she has mobility issues. For example, she cannot walk far or up steep hills. Would she be able to participate in most of the trip?

If you will be 2 Participants - 2500 euro including all the commission for the platform. About your friend with walking disabilities, for as long as she can walk on a flat surface without any problem, she can still get to see most of the sites. Of course, some castles and more challenging surfaces will be restricted.

What is the standard of accommodation please and is it guaranteed departure

We can guarantee the departure for 2 pax or more. We carefully select 3* and 4* small, family-run hotels, for a warm, comfortable experience.

  At the moment we do not have other people signed for that period, as most of them book around the New Year holidays. We can keep you posted or feel free to book as Private and if someone joins we can modify the tour to Shared.
