Could you please confirm if there are available spaces for this trip?

Yes, we do have availability for the group starting on the 19th. Just for clarification, this group will be conducted in Spanish. However, there is another group starting on the 18th that will be in English.

I was wondering if there are other people booked on it for the 23rd? Also, I was looking at flights & I wouldn't get in until 10pm so if I arrived a day early & stayed at an airport hotel that night, could I be picked up the following morning instead? That way I would have a full day of exploring Tirana then.

Yes the group is confirmed. Yes we can arrange the transfer for you from another hotel. You should book single room supplement as well, for staying alone in a room.

Do you provide an official invitation letter or company-issued document that can be attached to an Albania eVisa application? The document would need to state the booking details and confirm that the trip is organized through your company.

We cannot support you with document for visa. Just the voucher issued from the system.

Is it possible to end my tour in Sarande and stay an additional night in the accommodation at Sarande instead of Tirana?

Yes you can end the tour in Saranda. It will be a 20 EUR supplement for the accommodation in Saranda on the last day.

Is September 18 considered Day 7 of the tour, and are airport transfers to Tirana included on that day? What is the check-out time from the hotel on September 18? I have a later flight that day and want to plan accordingly. I'm scheduled to arrive in Tirana around noon on September 11—will I miss the walking tour planned for that day?

Tirana transfer is included in the program services. Check can be anytime on day 18th. The tour starts on 12 sept not on 11th. If you want to have pre-start tour day, it is ok, but you need to add one more extra night for the 11th of Sept.

Overall it was a good trip. We were a bit overcharged for a transfer to Durres. The company charged us 40$, but we paid 25-30 with a taxi from Durres to Tirana. We stayed in 3 different hotels in Tirana. They were all okay. The Garden Boutique made us sign a paper stating we would follow their rules and assured us that was “totally normal”. The biggest misadventure was our guide telling us our tour ended a day before everyone else on the tour. The tour we booked was a day shorter somehow than the rest of the people on the tour. This was a surprise. The tour included a lot of visits to castles on mountaintops. Maybe it could be diversified to include a wine/pomegranate tasting and a water excursion. Our guide was great. He focused a lot on before and after communism. The trip was organized, the guide did his best to take care of everyone and Albania is a beautiful country.Show more
