I didn't have any expectations regarding Krujë, but the national museum Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu inside the castle felt very epic and turned out to be one my favorite ones so far in Albania. It amazes me how knowledgeable Andi is about everything you ask him, even specific details! We adjusted the itinerary a little bit on my request, which is always convenient if you're running out of time.

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.

Last Saturday we were ready for a exciting parajump. All went well only the lack of wind made them cancel the flight. Off course a wise decision because safety should always be first. But we received a pleasant surprise, they invited us for a hiking tour instead. The tour and guides where really great, we even went for dinner and beer afterwards. Thank you guys for a super afternoon!

We will meet in the morning at 09:00 AM at hotel/meeting point and starting our trip to the lake of Bovilla . The road is about 21 km distance where half of it is off road. We will look at the suburban neighborhoods of Tirana where you will see a very different lifestyle from the city . We drive up the lake dam and after we reach Bovilla Lake we prepare to hike in Mount Gamti. The track to hike is a simple level where every step gives us a more beautiful view as we reach the top. Hiking lasts about 40 minutes. On the top of the hill there is an impressive view of the lake and the green hills surrounding it. Time to rest, to enjoy the gorgeous view, to play with each other, to talk and to eat food under the shadows of the cave. Returns to the same track takes about 30 minutes. We have a short stop at the river below the dam where the formed canyons are unique and, if you want, you can swim in the fresh water of the river. After all this adventure, we are ready to return in Tirana.

An interesting site, some 30 odd km north of the Capital,Tirana. Located on a hillside giving spectacular views of the countryside. Mostly in ruin, but there are some new builds, one which is popular with locals for wedding photos. There are two small museums on site, and that's about it.

A tour that will take you to one of the most interesting destinations of Balkans Ohrid town, This town is North Macedonia's most seductive destination. It sits on the edge of serene Lake Ohrid, with an atmospheric old quarter that cascades down steep streets, dotted with beautiful churches and topped by the bones of a medieval castle. Famous for its lake and architecture. At the same time you will visit Lin, a small peninsula softly joins the shores of Lake Ohrid. It was once called “Lake of Light” perhaps because the light of both the sun and the moon wholly illuminate its surface year-round. Indeed, this lake’s reflections are legendary! Hundreds of locals reside in this small but beautiful peninsula. As you descend the road to get there, you will notice the beautiful red roofs of its characteristic small homes.
