I am travel agent here, I have a group of 10 person who is interested in tour of Albania

Do you already know your travel dates for this tour? Do you wish to book this tour as a private tour or are you open to other travelers being on this tour? Do you need visas to visit Albania?

Will my hotel be there? Will a driver from the hotel come to pick me up?

The tour starts from day one at 06:00 am and we pick up form your hotel in Tirana. If you arrive one day early we can arrange for your airport pick up and hotel for pre tour on extra charge.

Do you also offer a Tour with Komani, Valbona and Teth?

This three-day adventure is a perfect blend of rural villages, wild nature and a scenic ferry ride. You will experience a serious shot of adrenaline while hiking from Theth to Valbona. We are happy to inform you that we can assist with this tour but please note that this tour on end of May might be subject to weather conditions. With today's global warming you never know what to expect. The trail from Theth to Valbona might be closed due to the snow. If in any case the trail is not doable, please be aware that we will never put you on risk so we will adjust the itinerary of only staying in Valbona instead.

We are a team of nine people and want to come visit Albania through your travel agency. how to get a tourist invitation from you. We are interested in Albania and would like to come in November 2024.

Unfortunately we do not offer invitation letters or any other visa related procedures. If you book any of our services, we do provide you with an official reservation confirmation specifying type of service, dates of booking, amount paid.

Is this hike okay to do by solo? Is there other hikers end of October as well? Is the weather conditions mostly good end of October?

During October we have departures. Temperatures usually range from the mid-teens to low 20s Celsius, while nights can be cooler, often dropping to around 10°C. Rainfall can be more frequent as the month progresses, especially towards the end, so it's a good idea to be prepared for some wet weather. There are hikers during this period of time.

What is the accommodations like on this trip? I am unfamiliar with what a guest house is
