Gosh, where to start. This company was fabulous, far exceeding my expectations. Albania is a beautiful, warm, generous country that welcomed us with all its stunning scenery and curious, helpful peoples. Brikena, Antonella, Gjelosh and many other drivers and guesthouse staff were prompt, knowledgeable and efficient. I can say I have developed a fondness for Albania due to them. The food is terrific and the hiking stunning. I slept well, ate well and connected to place. Highly recommend a trip.Show more
