        Un'Avventura Indimenticabile a Tirana con Good Albania
        We had the opportunity to explore the center of Tirana, including a visit to BunkArt. In the afternoon, we took the cable car up to Mount Dajti. The panoramic view of Tirana from above was breathtaking, and once at the top, we decided to try the adventure park trails. The zip lines were incredibly fun and added an extra touch of excitement to the experience! The Good Albania team was exceptional, always kind and engaging. Their responsiveness over the phone to every last minute request, made everything even more enjoyable.

        Durres & wine tasting tour
        Great experience overall. Very friendly tour guide, talkative, informative and funny. Excellent wine and food. Also recommend the homemade Raki if you want something stronger.

        Enchanting tours with Good Albania!
        We added an extra day to make this a 5 day tour, as unfortunately we couldn't make the 6 day tour, and it was FANTASTIC! Flori was our guide and from the start it was obvious he's been doing this for years and has a job he loves and does very well. We appreciated that he was attentive to our individual interests as he took us to beautiful and impressive sight after sight, made sure we were very well fed, had comfortable and convenient accommodations while allowing for some needed down time in between it all. We even enjoyed the relaxing stops along the road for refreshments with gorgeous views! Hopefully we'll get back one day and be able to book some of the longer "Good Albania" tours as well.

        Tirana Communist and Steet Food Tour
        Extremely informative, friendly and interesting guide, very thorough tour but we felt relaxed and free to ask as many questions as we liked. We never felt rushed. It is a great way to include Bunk'art 1 in a tour as it is out of town. It is better than Bunk'art 2 and our guide Ditmir gave us a lot of information we would not have had if we had gone alone. Good food as well! We very much enjoyed ourselves and think the tour is good value to see many of the main sites of Tirana in a thorough and efficient way. This meant we had more time to relax for the remainder of our stay. Thank you Ditmir!

        Responsive Company
        I want to acknowledge this company's responsiveness to a detailed complaint I wrote about our experience with guide Flori: see reviews below from psmickeslen & karen c. My rating of four stars is a comment on Good Albania's response, rather than on the quality of the experience we had on our tour. Although a good driver, patient & reasonably personable, Flori was a very poor and disinterested communicator. He gave us next to no information on what we were doing/seeing each day (despite us asking numerous questions), and had personal hygiene issues that made travelling in the van with him very unpleasant. He also risked our safety and was not truthful with us when we expressed concerns about the very steep terrain he was expecting us seniors to hike; he would not admit he was totally lost and not on the established trail. This tour could have been spectacular with a good guide but was instead disappointing and dangerous, and we learned next to nothing about what we saw unless we used the Internet for information. I was impressed by Good Albania's prompt and effective response to my letter. Eda, who had been excellent working with karen c to put our private tour together, sent a lovely email right away expressing her dismay at our experience. The company also sent us all an apology and advised us of the steps they had taken to remedy the problems we had encountered, including ensuring guides had a first aid kit, indicating they would be using vans with microphones in future and advising that they had parted ways with Flori. A small refund was also provided to acknowledge the things in our planned itinerary that had been missed. This shows me that Good Albania is interested in their customers and open to feedback and continuous improvement; I would book with them again. (The one hesitation I have is that I see a May review mentioning guide Florian. I really hope this is not the same person who guided us!)

        Personalized, All-Inclusive, Terrific Tirana Tour
        We had an amazing time with Ditmir as our guide. He was fascinating to listen to, had many personal, family stories to talk about as we walked around Tirana and discussed communism in Albania. He also personalized the tour for us so we were able to take the cable car up the mountain, and visit Bunk’Art. He adjusted the tour pace for things we were more interested in, answered a million questions openly and honestly. We had some traditional food, drinks, and coffee along the way as well. It was great the tour was all-inclusive as well, unlike many tour companies the we never had to pay for anything offered during the day. We also had a driver to get us to the cable car, and thankfully we did since driving in Tirana can be a nightmare. Highly recommend Ditmir and Good Albania.

        Wonderful bespoke couple tour
        Eda was most helpful in organising our bespoke 6 night tour. Our guide, Flori, was very personable, tireless, and extremely knowledgeable about Albanian history, culture and sights. He was always helpful and went the extra mile to ensure we had a lovely time. The itinerary was excellent and flexible according to our interests. The spectacular vistas and superb lunches of local cuisine, reflecting the local areas we visited, really stood out.

        Adventure like No other!
        7 friends ages 60-70 years young, looking forward to exploring and discovering Albania and Kosovo. Our guide and driver Flori should have had a microphone system to explain to the group the history and sites while driving. One of the group who sat beside him were expected to shout back to the rest of us what Flori was sharing. Who knew! Part of our itinerary, was a 3 hour hike in Valbone to see the viewpoint and Ramas hut. Instead it turned into a 9 hour trek from hell. Flori got us lost, would not admit to being lost and after having us scrambling on hands and knees, told us he knows a better way down and to keep following him, UP. Eventually he admitted we were lost! He had to call for help and as we were trying to get down from our scramble to a very steep decline ON OUR BUMS, for a good portion of the way down! One in our group was injured making their way down and needed to be taken to hospital for stitches. Luckily we had a nurse in our group, unfortunately there was no first aid kit and a lot of improvisation. Flori had no gps, no first aid kit and worst of all had no idea the trail we were supposed to be on. We never saw the viewpoint or Ramas Hut! Luckily we had 2 men come to our rescue and drive us back to the guesthouse, glad we made it back safely! It was a frightening, exhausting day! The next day, onto Prizren and our van breaks down. Luckily Flori was able to secure another van for us. We were to see 2 activities in Prizren which were on our itinerary. Flori parked the van and told us to meet him back there in an hour after we meandered through the town. The lack of communication from Flori to the group was significant. The good on this trip; everywhere food was delicious, the people kind, helpful and nice! Accommodations great! Not sure if I would recommend a tour with Good Albania. Poorly equipped vehicle and an unprepared guide (no microphone, gps or first aide kit and a vehicle that broke down, part way through our trip, reflects poorly on the company)

        Both pros and cons with company but Albania definitely worth visiting!
        We were a group of 7 ( mid 60’s- 70’s) on a 5 day private tour to Shkodër, Komani Lake ferry, Valbone with a day hike, Prizren Kosovo, Tirana. Pros: prompt correspondence with Good Albania. Varied and interesting itinerary. Excellent accommodations and restaurants. Cons: the drives are fairly boring. The company should ensure the guide/ driver has a microphone and be encouraged to use this driving time to explain the history of Albania to current successes and challenges. We are here to learn about the country, not just see it. As it was, the front passenger had to ask driver questions then shout answers to fellow passengers. Guide sometimes spoke too fast so difficult to understand his answers. Some troubles on the day hike with route, and no first aide kit when needed. Albania is a wonderful country with friendly people, delicious food, amazing scenery, and spring water everywhere!

        Speechless
        I’ve been there two times with my family and friends like 2 years ago. I’ve had a great time , because the view is speechless. It was really hot when I went there so walking to the castle was really tiring and exhausting, but it was worth it because the of the view . It’s worth visiting it.

        Great tours with awesome guide Flori
        During the end of December 2023 I took the following tours with Good Albania: 1.) Kruja and Durres 2.) The Pretty Prizren (Kosovo) Good Albania is a very efficient tour operator. When I inquired about the tours, I received an immediate response from Eda, who made it extremely easy to reserve and make payment for the tours. I was fortunate to have Flori as my guide for both tours. He was a wonderful guide. He provided me with a lot of interesting facts about not only about the places visited on the tours, but about Albania in general. All of the information was from a local person's perspective. In addition, he had a good sense of humor and was a very safe driver. I would highly recommend using Good Albania. Hopefully you will be lucky to have Flori as your guide.

        Beautiful Albania and Excellent “Good Albania”
        The tour was very good. The tour guide, Florian, was very helpful and always tending to our needs especially we have a toddler with us.

      This tour was amazing! Our guide Nico took great care of us; driving us safely around, picking great local places for lunch, always making sure we were checked in to the hotels. The price per person included all the transportation, museums, most lunches, and accommodations—-unbelievable price for what you get! If you really want to see Albania, north Macedonia, and Kosovo, and be taken care of the entire time, book Good Albania!
