The tour company was very organized, contacting me in advance to make sure I was all set. Our guide, Arlind, spoke excellent English and drove us to places quickly and safely. Because of Covid, some of the stops on the itinerary were closed. However, Inspire Me quickly offered us other options to make up for the slight inconvenience. Very accommodationg and honest company. Arlind is really polite and really helpful. You'll be in good hands booking this tour.

Berat's appeal lies in its UNESCO World Heritage architecture and the epic mountain scenery that shelters the city.

The tour was great. The cable ride to Mt Dajti was scenic. The hike was hard for me, I have to ask my tour guide to go back. The hike is not for the faint of heart as the climb was stiff. Also the visit to Bunk Art was included which is a very interesting place to go to. Overall I had a good time and my tour guide was great and knowledgeable!

10. 3 Days Tour from Tirana to Montenegro

Albania Express Travel

We can say that Montenegro is small country but Montenegro is full of contrast. You can find on a lot of forums explanation as a “country where less is more”, “in one day mountain and sea coast”, “wild beauty”. One is for sure the country where you can get in love in a lot of different ways. We have made this three days tour as an idea to show you as much as possible, but still trough the eyes of locals with authentic spirit and spontaneous flow.

Inclusions: Breakfast, Breakfast, Air-conditioned vehicle, Tour Guide, 2 nights accommodation with breakfast

I can't thank our tour guide Adam enough for giving us a fun filled day from start to finish. If you are lucky enough to get him as your tour guide you will agree with me that he is one interesting man on this planet! He went above and beyond, even making additional pit stops. He showed us so much in one day that would of easily taken us two to three days to do. The tour exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to do future day trips in other countries/cities with Albanian Express Travel and Adam!
