Explore Albania’s Osum Canyon from Berat with guided canyoning, safety gear, lunch, hotel transfers, and scenic local stops.

“Meer dan de helft van de activiteit is reistijd, om half 9 verzamelen uiteindelijk pas om tien voor 12 gaan canyoningen om vervolgens om 2 uur alweer klaar te zijn en pas weer rond half 6 terug in Berat te zijn. Activiteit zelf is echt mega leuk maar niet de moeite waard met al het reizen erbij. Mensen zijn wel aardig en de lunch was ruim voldoende. Was ook een beetje aan de dure kant vind ik voor wat je er uiteindelijk voor krijgt”

2.Saranda Catamaran VIP to Krorez and Kakome Beach with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 41 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $107

Review of Saranda’s VIP catamaran to Krorëza, Kakome, Soldier’s Beach, and Qefal, with lunch, swimming stops, tips, and value advice.

“Booking this tour was initially a bit disorganized. After reserving our original date, the company contacted us to reschedule, even though the original date was still listed as available on Viator and their website. We rebooked as instructed. On the day of the tour, we were told to wait at the meeting point, but no one showed up. We ended up following a group of people heading to the port, which turned out to be the right choice since we never received a callback. Thankfully, we managed to get a decent seat on the boat. The lunch was delicious, featuring seafood pasta with options of wine, soda, or water. The…”

3.Berat Hiking Off Road picnic lunch in Tomori Holy Mount

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 32 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $102Top rated

Review of Berat’s Tomori Holy Mount tour, with off-road driving, mule riding, a short hike, mountain views, and a local picnic lunch.

“The drive up and down involves bouncing around in a 4x4 and winding up loose gravel tracks and watching the landscape change as you get higher. The hike is through pine forest and beautiful landscapes, with Mount Tomor looming above impressively. The castle is definitely a ruin, with no standing walls remaining, but the location is very scenic. The lunch is delicious as well, with several Albanian specialties. The guides are happy to answer any questions and have everything well organised.”

Explore Kruja Castle, Skanderbeg Museum, the old bazaar, and Mount Sarisalltik with lunch on a small-group day trip from Tirana.

Overlooking views from the castle and Mount Sarisalltik were fantastic. Visiting the Skanderberg Museum and the national ethnographic museum was informative and educational. Arlind is a cool and friendly tour guide.”

6.Visit Vlore & Himare Beaches includes lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $215

Review a full-day Albanian Riviera trip from Tirana, with Vlorë, Himarë, Gjipe Beach, lunch, transport, and practical tips.

“The scenery on the way to the beaches at Vlore and Himare is absolutely stunning. It was a gorgeous, sunny day but a bit too cool for swimming. We really didn't miss it because of our guides, Erdi and Hertel. We have been on many tours in many countries and this one was the most enjoyable of all. In addition to being very knowledgeable of Albanian history, they were a lot of fun to be with. I highly recommend this tour with or without these guides, but if you get them, it will be your lucky day.”

“Henri, our tour guide in Gjirokastra, was fantastic! He made our visit to this historic city truly special.

He took us to hidden spots and shared stories that made the tour both informative and engaging. What I loved most was that Henri's passion for Gjirokastra was contagious, and it felt like we were exploring the city with a local friend.
