Arben was a wealth of knowledge that he shared in a professional manner. Dealing with our big group may not have been easy but Arben all the time kept his great smile and good humor, always ready to help, inform or share a laugh during our long traverse from Dhermi to Dubrovnik. Definetly a guide I can recommend!

We discovered the impressive landscape in the nord and met nice and interesting people. Albania was a big surprise for us! And best of all: Our guide Arben! He is: friendly, competent (he knows everything about Albanian history) and humorous. Actually he fulfilled all our wishes and made our tour unique - we had a wunderful time with Ben!

I had the best time. I would recommend Ben as he is a versitile guide. We did hiking in the mountains, we did sightseeing and everything was perfect, without any complication and in friendly manner. When I go to Albania again I sure will contant Ben again. 

Arben Kola (or for short: Ben) was selected to be my English speaking guide and driver for three weeks in September 2015 (by Albania2go). What a great choice. I valued Ben’s versatility and hospitality. He was enthusiastic (loving to share with his guests what his Albania is), he knows the history in detail (taking me to museums, churches, archaeological sites or historical towns), he has an excellent sense of orientation (with an incredible memory of places, when hiking off the beaten tracks to discover hidden treasures), he loves the salubrious Albanian food (so do I – and how much I love to be in comfy family restaurants), he is good at networking (which allowed me to link up with Albanian people) and – he always drove carefully. Ben fulfilled all my wishes, sometimes even sensed, what I felt like without me having to say it. In addition, he solved all the problems such as “needed a non-standard charger for my camera battery” or “forgot my optical glasses in the Panorama hotel in Kruja”. It was great to travel with a guide that also enjoys hiking, scenery, culture, history and food and that loves his country.

I recommend Ben without hesitating – and I have already done so to my friends back home.

 Me and my good friend, both 25 year old guys from sweden, came to Albania with the idea to rent a car, explore and experience the country. We had no plans of utilizing a guide while travelling. We met Ben beneath the Theth waterfall and he suggested we tag along with his friends to a remote location of beauty. We took him up on the offer and experienced a good contender for the best day of our lives. We spent some more days with him travelling through the country after that. His vast wealth of knowledge educated us in Albanian history and culture. For the rest of our two weeks in Albania we always had interesting things to experience because of his recommendations. His demeanor was always friendly and his personality very likeable. He made or trip to Albania something I will forever remember as incredible. I'm very happy to consider him my friend.
