    Accommodation
    Meals
    Transport
    • Albania InboundOperatorWritten December 2025

      A SGL room can be requested at a cost of 400€ over the base price. All the restaurants that will be visited have vegetarian options. Regarding the drive, there will be no drive day longer then 300 KM.

      Amy

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      Will it be warm enough to swim and will we use hot springs on tour? How much for transport from airport to hotel or taxi, and how much per day extra nights hotel end of tour? Will there be over 15 on tour? Is the weather much better middle of April vs 1st of April tour?

    • Albania InboundOperatorWritten December 2025

      In April the temperatures are 13-20 degree celsius during the day and during the night it is cold. Beach stops will still be arranged however getting into the water depends on the person. A one-way transfer from airport to hotel costs 25€. Accommodation for 1 extra night costs 80€. April is not the peak of tourism in Albania so we believe the group will be no larger then 6 pax. Min. capacity for the tour to operate: 2 passengers. For a better experience, we would advise you to book any day mid - April.

      Cheryl

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      We would enjoy the hiking and rafting. We consider those to be high points of the trip! We hadn't been as interested in the e-bike tour and so would consider an alternative or just time for us to wander independently.

      Cheryl

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      What is the difference if we would book through you directly rather than through TourRadar?

      If you wish to book with us directly it is possible. In our website you can find the product 400€ cheaper, with the price reduced from 1900€ per person to 1500€ per person.
