Xhuljano was an excellent tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable not just regarding aspects of the tour. He was very passionate about teaching me about the Albanian life and culture and his English was excellent. He made me feel at ease right from the start and was very flexible and accommodating offering me alternative options regarding timings if I wanted to spend longer in certain areas. The tour offered a good mix of touring and having some free time of my own to explore areas of interest further. There was a nice mix of getting to see a variety of different Unesco sites which I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see all of otherwise. I would definitely recommend.Show more

Amazing 3-Day Family Tour in Albania with Guide Skerdi We had a fantastic 3-day family tour in Albania, exploring hidden gems with our wonderful guide, Skerdi. His local knowledge and passion for the country made the trip unforgettable. We started in Tirana, discovering both the main sights and hidden corners of the city. Day two took us to the UNESCO towns of Berat and Gjirokastër, where Skerdi shared fascinating history and culture. On day three, we enjoyed the stunning Albanian Riviera, including secret beaches and hikes to ancient ruins. With local friends joining us, the experience felt authentic and personal. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the true beauty of Albania!Show more

Fantastic 3-Day UNESCO Tour of Albania! This 3-day UNESCO tour with Local Friends Albania was an incredible experience! It was perfectly planned to showcase the country’s rich history and cultural treasures. We visited Berat, Gjirokastra, and Butrint—each a UNESCO World Heritage site with its own unique charm. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, providing fascinating stories about Albania’s past, architecture, and traditions. I loved how the tour balanced history and local life, with opportunities to enjoy authentic food and connect with the culture on a deeper level. Despite being a short tour, it was packed with highlights and felt very immersive. The team was professional, friendly, and ensured everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking to explore Albania’s cultural gems in just a few days, this tour is a must!Show more
