About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 786neenad0 contributionsSeamless Albanian Adventure with Aria Travels – Highly Recommended !We started our journey to Albania without knowing much about the country, except for a few travel vlogs we watched on YouTube. We were unsure about how to plan our trip, but then we got in touch with Ela from Aria Travels, and everything fell perfectly into place. Before choosing Aria Travels, we had explored quotes from other agencies. However, most of them pushed their pre-designed plans instead of accommodating our preferences. In contrast, Aria Travels took the time to understand our interests and included nearly all the destinations we proposed. Our guide, Mr. Berti, was an excellent choice. He wasn’t just a driver but a knowledgeable guide who explained every location and accompanied us to all the sites. Since we were traveling with a six-year-old, he ensured regular pit stops for refreshments and washrooms, which made the journey smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Aria Travels and especially appreciate Mr. Berti for his exceptional service. Full stars to them!Written 4 January 2025

- Natarajanpillai0 contributionsAn Exceptional Experience.We had a wonderful time in Albania, Montenegro and North Macedonia for 10days. The tour was very well organised by Aria travels and meticulously executed even without minor pitfalls. Hats off to a Driver like Berti who was the highlight of this trip. without him our trip would have never been like this. He is an expert Driver, extremely knowledgeable and also very much aware of the guest's needs through a sixth sense. We presume we were also responsible tourists.Written 9 October 2024
- karensS2624TG0 contributionsHighly recommend!We loved our tailor made tour with Aria Travel! Our guide Berti went out of his way to make our 4 days in Albania so enjoyable. If you’re a first time traveller to Albania this is the perfect way to experience the country. We were very pleased and impressed with Berti’s knowledge and it was great to be taken to some less touristy spots. Great value for money, would recommend to all!!Written 19 September 2024
- cesgon440 contributionsMost amazing Balkan visit. 4 countriesThe Balkans are extremely beautiful and filled with history and culture, Aria travel helped me get the best of it. I went on three tours with them, Endri was my primary guide, spent three days with him, what a guy. Extremely knowledgeable, can only compare him to a walking encyclopedia. He also was so accomodating and eager to share his knowledge. I learned and saw so much. He is now a friend. I also spent some time with Berti, he was quizzing me on history he taught me, loved it! Awesome guy. The management staff where also incredible, I believe the owners themselves is who I sat with, they listened closely to what I needed and the time that I had available and guess what, they made it all happen! My hat off to them. I have much more to see and I will be coming back to them without a doubt. If there was a 10 star that is what they would get.Written 9 August 2024

- 7anilj0 contributionsGreat tourTour was well planned with ample free time to explore and guide Kosta was great. Highly recommend tour for those interested in seeing KosovoWritten 8 June 2024
- D7808JDbenk0 contributionsAria Travel is a great opportunity to discover Albania!We went on four tours with Aria Travel with very friendly and passionate guides. With Endri, we enjoyed a tour to Shkodra and Rozafa Castle and Kruja. The Skanderbeg museum is really worth visiting. We also went on a private tour with Endri to Sazan and Karaburun (near Vlore). Endri is an expert about Albanian history and is a great guide who is really passionate about his job. He wants his clients to have the best experience on the tours in Albania. Furthermore, we went to Shala River in the North of Albania with Erges who is also a great guide with remarkable driving skills even on the worst roads. He also showed us the city of Prizren in Kosovo. You can easily communicate with Florarta via Whatsapp. She also provided updates on the upcoming tours. Because of traffic, distances and bad road conditions, some tours start quite early in the morning (6AM or 7 AM).Written 2 June 2024
- 325kasimr0 contributionsFamily friendly bespoke tour of Albania, North Macedonia and MontengroFamily holiday to Tirana. It was the first time taking a 4 year old and 2 year old together on holiday! We had the amazing Erges as our driver for the full 4-5 days. Aria Travel Albania were flexible and accommodating and we were able to create a bespoke itinerary. We visited Vlore and it’s amazing beach which the kids absolutely enjoyed. The next day we went to Lake Ohrid in North Macedonia. Then a full day spent in Montenegro visiting. Enroute we stopped at Lake Shkoder, before heading out to Sveti Stefan and Budva. Erges our driver was amazing especially with our younger two kids. He was patient. Happy to stop for breaks if needed. His knowledge about Albania, North Macedonia and Montenegro helped enhance our experience. Our kids loved him and called him ‘Taxi Uncle!’. He was happy to change plans and there was no clock watching. He also had a vast knowledge of the best restaurants and ice cream places. Without him our holiday would not have been so wonderful. Would recommend this company and Erges to all families considering a trip to Albania and the surrounding countriesWritten 31 May 2024
- markuk19310 contributionsGreat company, great communication, great value.A huge shoutout to Endri who was driver and guide on the day trips to Prizren and Ohrid that I took. He was knowledgeable and fun and this helped bond the small groups together. The communication after I had booked my trips online was excellent. One of the dates I had requested didn’t have enough bookings so an alternative was suggested. I was lucky to meet the staff in the office in Tirana and they were as friendly in person as via WhatsApp. I really like that they keep the groups small. The two tours I took are amongst the best I have taken, and really good value for money. I will certainly be contacting them when I next visit Albania.Written 13 May 2024
- judith b0 contributionsDay trip to Lake OhridExcellent day trip to Lake Ohrid. Endri our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We visited various points on Lake Ohrid where we were given a plethora of information from both Endri and our guide on the North Macedonian side. Communication from Aria travel from booking the trip until the day of trip was excellent. I can highly recommend this day trip and company.Written 4 May 2024
- 552sandyw0 contributionsAwesome Adventure to 2 CountriesElio was a very interesting, knowledgeable, attentive guide and a careful driver. The car and hotel were both very comfortable. The countryside was beautiful, especially Lake Ohrid on a sunny, warm spring afternoon.Written 16 April 2024

I booked this tour after having a good first experience with Aria travels.
I took the Berat tour and was assigned same tour Guide for this tour - Gavi.
It was a good experience as well.
We started out on time. Went to Shkoder, first saw the lake, then the Rozafa castlte.
As expected, the guide gave interesting details about the history, past and present.
After this we went to the town.
Visited the main parts of Shkoder, the great/big church etc.
We left and went off to Lunch in a restaurant located in Fisht
Mrizi i Zanave is set in village of Fisht.
Its an agro tourism place, quite interesting.
After lunch we went to Kruje.
As I was really looking forward to this part of the trip, it was a little bit disappointing that we got there when it was almost dark.
Some of the stores were closed due to the season...and those opened were about to close for the day.
This was the 'BUT' ... which perhaps could have been avoided if we didn't spend too much time in previous places.
We did some walk around the Kruje bazaar and castle. As it was dark, it wasn't the best if you like to take pictures and only have your smartphone.
Gavi made the best of it.
A store in the bazaar which was about to close gladly waited for me to buy some souvenirs.
Not the best time to haggle prices, so paid a bit high for some traditional shoes.
In all, a good experience.
The only thing I would change would be the time planning, but this was no one's fault.
So I'll still give a 5*.

Excellent tour company with very reasonable prices, almost too reasonable so was expecting a ride to famous places with a little information given but I was pleasantly surprised. We had the best tour guide I have ever had & I’ve been to 20 different countries. I signed up for tours because after I arrived it took me about 1 minute after getting in my friends car to decide there’s no way I was going to drive in Albania & I’ve driven in most of the countries I’ve visited. I only listed one tour but the first tour to Berati was so well done we signed up for the Two day tour to Gjirokastra and Saranda (Butrint was included) and the one day tour to Kruja & Shkroda. Having Gleni as a guide was like having your cousin or other family member show you around.

The whole day was wonderful, and the tour guide Jetmir was just so great, and informative about all the areas we visited.
Jetmir was probably the most outstanding guide that I have ever encountered. I will most certainly request his services again.

It was a very good experience! We enjoyed this one-day trip so much. We didn't have much time so Jetmir was very helpful as a guide. He made us discover wonderful spots, with lots of humour and a very good company. We recommend this agency and its guides.
Thanks again!

Albania generally blew me away, but this tour, and this tour company really stands out from our trip!
The driver/guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining as well!
The visit to Kruje Castle and the Skanderbeg Museum is a MUST for any visit to Albania. If not for Skanderbeg, whose name is forgotten to most of us - Europe would be speaking Turkish!
Bring a camera and a spare battery - you will need it!
