Dear Sirs, I would like to thank "1001 Albanian Adventures" for organising me a tour from Tirana to Prizren. In the time the pandemy affected all travellers around the world, the information in Internet is diverse and contradictionary. Some websites say, that the borders are open, calls to other give the answer, that you need covid-test, what takes time and money. In such region, like Montenegro-Albania-Kosovo, you even get different timetables for bus departures - or even totally no information about it. "1001 Albanian Adventures" and especially Erilda herself made my trip from Albania to Kosovo possible. He was always available for my questions per Facebook, even apart her working hours, in the evening. She organised for me a "half-tour" to Prisren from Tirana, following my budget, so that I could go further to Pristina Airport. I felt safe and cared about and want to say thank you! Ana S, Germany

I chose Tradition and Adventure because they replied to my email very quickly. The person I wrote to, Mimoza, was very helpful and understood immediately my needs. In just a couple of emails she organized the tour perfectly. Armand, the driver was waiting for me at the airport. The car was super comfy. He was amazing. More than just a guide. I spent 3 perfect days with him travelling around Albania feeling spoiled and safe. The country is really beautiful, food really tasty. I will reccomend Tradition and Adventure to everybody.

We travelled with a group of 7. Albania is such a beautiful country and Genci has an exceptional knowlede of all the beauty spots. Food was amazing - breakfast and lunch included (we mostly let Genci do the choosing :) ) and usually did not need dinner as lunch is the main meal. This tour and tour guide is highly reccomended - Genci was great, very friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed!
