We have visited 3 Balkan countries, and Ohrid was one of the highlights of our trip. Its much more prettier than on the photos, and wster is perfectly clear. Tour did meet our expectations, and to daul away without the guide it would be pretty but much less interesting. Our guide bob was easy going polite and interesting and he made our day. Hope to come back here with my family and stay longer, and for sure i will contact Balkan experience again.. They are very professional.

Booked the tour last minute with Aria Travel and it was a great experience. My guide Gavi is very knowledgeable about the history and communicated it well. We started out early and had a little break at Belsh. I got to try the mountain tea. After the short break, we continued to Berat. It was lovely to see the Castle, the modern town, the Gori bridge and go up to houses to see how they were built in stacks. He recommended having lunch in Hotel Mangalemi. Good recommendation. The food was good and ok for the price. We left Berat and got to Apollonia before Sunset. He also presented the history of the Apollonia ruins and the church located inside. We left just at sunset. I definitely enjoyed the experience and went further to book more tours with Aria Travels.

It will will be a journey that will leave you hungry for more :) On this tour you'll have a chance to get in the roller coaster of time, flying back and forth thousands of years through Albania's history and culture.

I have been on vacations many times with Albanian Eagle Tours in Turkey, Greece and Montenegro. This year because of Covid we chose to stay in Albania and visit the alps. We stayed at an alpin hotel in Boge for one night. The room was comfortable, on the top floor, with a beautiful view of the mountains and valley below. Next day we visited Lepushe, deep in the alps. The view, fresh air, fresh food from local farms, and a hike to a nearby waterfall were fantastic. I would recommend this trip very much. Thank you Albanian Eagle Tours.

My tour with Good Albania was delightful as it gave me an opportunity to explore the UNESCO heritage sites and indulge in the nation's wonderful cuisine. Originally, I was supposed to join one other person for the tour, but that individual had to cancel suddenly. So I ended up on a private tour and could adjust the pace of my journey as things unfolded. My guide Migert was easygoing and attentive to my needs, helping me get antihistamines when I experienced an allergic reaction and mailing my postcards near the end of my trip. The food throughout the trip was delicious, and the portions were so large that on most nights, I felt too full to eat anything for supper. The local guides throughout the trip were also informative and friendly, and meeting a local family in a mountain village was another highlight of the experience. Overall, the Good Albania team was courteous throughout my booking process and created an enjoyable and comprehensive tour. Thank you Good Albania! I hope to join you again for another tour in the future. I recommend that others stay another day in Tirana to enjoy more of the history of the city as I had to leave sooner than I had originally hoped.

Pogradec lies on the shore of Lake Ohrid. Pogradec has an ancient history and numerous cultural, geological and natural documents. Archaeological excavations on the hill above the city have uncovered an Illyrian settlement dating to the 5th century BC, belonging to the ancient tribes of Desaret and possibly the Enkeley. Lin is a small peninsula on the west coast of Lake Ohrid, with a village where the houses are cut off from stone and brick. Korça is one of the favorite cities of Albania, because it has preserved the original architecture, because of the fresh air, the culture it displays and the gastronomy. Art and culture make you turn your eyes to every corner of the city. During your visit to Korça you will visit many other historical and cultural facilities.
