    I am looking to book 2 one day tours for my clients arriving in Tirana in September. Could you tell me the maximum number of people you accept on a tour on a given day? I am looking at booking them in for activities on September 17 and/or 18. Do you have other 1 day tours that are within 2 or 2 1/2 hours from Tirana?
