We were a party of 5 and Arben was our guide for 9 days - divided between walking in the mountains, Tirana, Gjirokaster and Berat - plus a few extra places inbetween.  Arben is an environmental activist with deep conviction for sustainability and is hugely knowledgable about all things Albania.  He was good at reacting to our wants/likes and nothing was too much trouble.  Safe and considerate in the mountains and keen to always show us something more in the cities.  Seems to know people on every street corner or mountain pass too!
