We spent a week being guided by Arben (Ben) through Albania. He is a great guide and we would recommend him for a cultural, hiking or city style trip. Extremely generous with his time, knowledgable, a story teller and the guide that knows everyone you will enjoy to the fullest all Albania has to offer with Ben by your side. Ben's passion for Albania is key to everything he does and the highlights of our trip included explanation of cultural nuances, drinking wild honey from a milk bottle in the hills, picnics in the Valbone valley, eating wild black berries and experiencing the kindest of Albanian people. 

Get in touch with Ben as he has a pretty full book and you won't regret it. Finally no need for the internet as Benny knows everything about Albania and the region in general. He is "Benny the google" and he made us The Happy Couple. Peter (Melbourne)

Because of Ben we know so much more about Albanian history

As my Son is the owner of Blloku Hotel in Tirana, I know Albania pretty good! So I went to Albania several times with friends and I always propose Ben as a guide. I did already some tours together with him myself. He is very good in history and also for nature tours he is the best choice you can make in Albania. Everyone whom I recommended him was very enthusiastic about Ben. With Ben you will enjoy Albania even more! 

My husband and I were fortunate to have Ben as our private guide/driver for eleven days, primarily in Albania, but also touching on Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro. His services were arranged through Albania2Go, with whom we had previously agreed on a relatively fast-paced itinerary, which we felt would “cover most of the bases.” But Ben still found many ways throughout his time with us to thoroughly enhance an already-great itinerary with additional visits to wonderful sites and interactions with locals. He seemed to know everybody, and we feel that we were much more exposed to “local color” than on most of our trips in decades of travel.

We also agree with other reviewers that Ben has a wealth of knowledge about the geography, history, and culture of the places visited, which he readily shared with us in fluent English, and that he is a careful driver -- often on challenging roads!

We recommend Ben’s services without hesitation!

Arben was my guide on a company trip to Albania October 2016. His knowledge about his country is exceptional and it was very hard to find a questions he couldn't answer. As a guide he was relaxed and kept everything under control.
