1.Berat city UNESCO tour, the Castle & Belshi lake- From Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 804 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $12Our pick

Review of the Berat UNESCO day tour from Tirana, with Belshi Lake, Berat Castle, Gorica Bridge, lunch time, costs, and practical tips.

“Berat is worth a visit. Lovely place and friendly people, but you should better search for an alternative agency. They promise hotel pick up but, once you’ve booked the excursion they indicate a meeting point more than half a km away. Then, you are the last group to be picked, only to find there are only scattered seats available and your party has to split up. We paid the same as any other and we didn’t organize the bus route; it is absolutely unfair we are denied the chance to be together as a group (and the agency was aware this was going to happend as the bus was almost…”

He also briefed us on history and other noted places we saw along the way. We had also sometime on our own to explore. On his recommendation, I visited Skenduli House and Museum of Ethnography, and tried local cuisine, oshaf (fig dessert) is so good. Weather was great too!”

“Our tour guide was amazing and gave us the best tour we could have wished for! Even the more critical ones in our group were mesmerised by his engaging storytelling - we really can’t recommend Gert enough! We had some trouble at our pick-up spot. First of all the office hadn’t received the tour we ordered the night before. We were supposed to go at 10:30, but ended up with being rebooked to 16:45. Because the guide had difficulties with locating our apartment, the tour first started at 17:30. Waiting was frustrating, especially since we only were in contact with the viator office, and not the guide directly. We were…”
