We, a group of 6 friends that travel together for years, had a 6days trip to Albania with Arban. The trip was, as suggested by Arban, to the north of the country. It combined mountains trails, visit to an authentic family home in the mountains, stay at incredible surprise places in the rural area, but most of all: the guy is a walking encyclopaedia. There was nothing we threw at him that he didn’t know. The knowledge combined with perfection in planning to the last detail make Arban the best guid we had in our trips till now. Thank you Arban fir exploring a most beautiful country and for knowing how to surprise us all the time.

Recently, my wife and I spent a 10-day holiday trip in Albania. During most of the trip, Arben was our private guide and driver. Arben did a fantastic job. Actually, he was much more than just a guide. Apart from showing us many of the touristic highlights and informing us of the historical and cultural background thereof, he gave us so much additional information on the current situation in Albania - both positive and very critical - that we really got to know the country. Arben is certainly not a dime a dozen guide, but a person who loves his country - although sometimes critically - and who understands very well how to pass this on to tourists (and many others) from abroad. Warmly recommended!

A friend and I spent 7 days in Albania and Kosovo with Arben, and it was an unforgettable and wonderful experience! I can truly say that at the end of the trip I felt like I was Albanian. The amount of history, culture, geography, and religion Arben was able to communicate to us was so impressive. He also didn't overwhelm us, and did his best to tailor our experience to the things we were interested in seeing. In a matter of days, I went from knowing very little about this beautiful country to feeling like I could interact with an Albanian anywhere in the world and have a working understanding of who he or she is. Arben is a truly gifted guide, and I am sure you will love your time spent with him!

I recently spent 5 days in Albania with a group of 11 from UK. Arben was our guide for the entire tour from airport collection to drop off. We explored Tirana and Durres with lovely Berat in between. Arben was an absolute fountain of knowledge about his home country both historical and current. He was passionate and likeable and went over and above the initial itinerary to make sure we had a great introduction to Albania. I would highly recommend him as your guide to Albania.

Arben Kola is an exceptional guide and made our tour into an amazing experience. Our group of 11 from London found him excellent and he looked after us very well. His knowledge of Albanian history, culture, politics and society is phenomenal and he could answer every question we asked and remember the dates of every building or event we were interested in. He told us about the good and the not so good in Albania so we had a very rounded picture of the country. He was amusing and energetic and we all greatly enjoyed our holiday because of his expertise! Arben has made me want to return to the country one day.
