Knowledgable, enthusiastic, principled and excellent in either the mountains or cities of Albania

Reviewed September 29, 2021

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!

Our First Visit to Albania

Arben was our tour guide for 10 days for different parts of Albania. He was knowledgeable, sociable and flexible with our needs. Everyone knows him which made us lucky to get whatever we asked for. 

The whole experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you Arben for being a ture sample of excellent tour guide and for making our trip unforgettable.

Our first visit to Albania

Reviewed November 4, 2019

We had the pleasure of having Arben guide us around southern Albania the last week of October.   While we were enamored with the natural beauty of the country, its locally-grown fruits and vegetables, friendly people, and complicated history; what really stuck with us were the unplanned moments.  Arben has a gift for making personal connections with the people he meets.  Thanks to him we we were able to tour an olive-oil processing facility, sample some homemade Raki brandy, roast our own coffee, and memorably while in the village of Rehove, churn butter the old fashioned way, by hand.  We intend to return to Albania so Arben can show us more of the country.

Did several tours with a guid before. This was the best. Arben is very passionate about his country and about Albenians, with so much knowledge. Arben want the best for Albania, the environment and for the tourist and he dares tot speak out.  He knows what a tourist wants to see even before you know it yourself. He is a true storyteller, and before you know your are carried away by his enthousiasme.  I have seen a lot of high light in a short time but also short impressions of the sometimes less beautiful sides of the country. That makes a tour real and complete for me. Loved this tour, highly recommended.
