9 4-Day Experiences in Albania Worth Booking

1.Private 4 Day Tour of Albania from North to the South

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $839Our pick

Review of Albania’s 4-day private tour from Tirana to Saranda, covering castles, UNESCO towns, mountain roads, Lake Shkodra, and the Blue Eye.

“Skerdi, co-owner of tour operator "Friends of Albania" was the perfect guide: polite, friendly, very well educated, particularly in Albanian history, outspoken, and very considerate helping two older gentlemen with limited mobility, e.g. helping us at difficult trails and staircases, with our luggage, etc. We had a very private tour, just the two of us in his clean, private car. He got us a second bedroom in the hotels at very reasonable prices. The tour covers most of the important historical and naturally beautiful sites of Albania. Skerdi also does shorter tours. We highly recommend him.”

3.Semi-Private Tour; Theth, Valbona & Koman Lake in 4 Days

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,041

Hike Albania’s Theth and Valbona, cross the Valbona Pass, and cruise Koman Lake on a guided four-day mountain adventure.

“The trip with Ervin was great! We had a very nice time. Some communications issues, due to intermediate English, but that was totally fine. For others I would say that the food in the guesthouses is traditional, so you will eat the same everyday (not very vegetarian friendly). Also it was not timed super well for lunch in some parts of the trip, so I would recommend to bring some snacks that you can eat throughout the trip. I would say you need to be an intermediate/experienced hiker for the trip. All in all it was a great experience and I would recommend Ervin as a guide!”

We had constant communication with Brikena who ensured everything ran smoothly with us getting on different buses which meant we didn’t have to worry. Both guesthouses we stayed in were wonderful, each family was so kind and hospitable and the dinners were so huge you would never go hungry! The scenery was so beautiful too. I’d definitely book again if back in Albania!”
