ALBANIAN ODYSSEY

Very good

Very good tour and an Amazing tour guide!!!

Very good guy Daniel is

Anri was an excellent guide. He had faultless English and was extremely knowledgeable but also very friendly and happy to answer questions.

Daniel was a very professional guide who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was catered to and enjoying themselves ! Couldn’t recommended enough ☺️

Daniel was our your guide for 9 days around the Southern Balkans. The trip was a huge success and the energy and insight he had into the activities, history and into us as people was second to none. The boat trip, tubing and morning coffees were all huge highlights. This is the only company I will use when I return to Albania because they take care of everything and it was a logistically perfect tour with the transport always on time and plenty of stops for drinks and view breaks.

An exceptional experience, made possible by an outstanding travel agency and an exceptional team led by Ilir, a gentleman of remarkable kindness, exemplary listening skills, and impeccable professionalism, and by a wonderful young lady and professional guide, IRMA — such a beautiful person and an exceptional guide! We are five French-speaking adults who had the great fortune of discovering this travel agency quite by chance, at the very last minute. We contacted them asking, with only one day’s notice, if they could organize a three-day road trip from the north to the south of Albania, allowing us to discover the country’s wonderful UNESCO World Heritage sites, as well as the many beautiful and unusual places that Albania has to offer. We will always cherish the absolutely wonderful memories of this experience! From our very first conversations, we appreciated the seriousness, availability, reliability, respect for commitments, and professionalism of our telephone contact, ILIR. The organization, itinerary, and services were all perfect, with particular attention paid to our expectations and even the smallest details of our requests. A very special mention must go to our French-speaking guide, IRMA, who truly contributed to making this experience unforgettable! With an immense wealth of knowledge and culture, this graduate of the Albanian School of Tour Guides is a true professional, passionate about her work! Yet she is also a young woman with a huge heart: a thoughtful, devoted, warm, and incredibly kind person who shared her knowledge with us — and so much more — in rich and impeccable French! She made it her personal mission to help us discover Albania far beyond the usual tourist sights. We travelled comfortably in our air-conditioned Mercedes minivan, which she drove expertly through the roads and landscapes of her beautiful country. In addition to her extraordinary generosity — stopping several times along the road to buy and treat us to delicious organic fruit and local culinary specialties from the regions we were travelling through — she drew on all her knowledge, friends, and family whenever one of us expressed a wish, curiosity, or request… Always available, day and night, and always attentive, she succeeded in creating a genuine relationship of trust and friendship with every member of our group. She made us feel like cherished guests rather than simply tourist clients. Thanks to her, every discovery, every landscape, and every moment we shared took on a special, unique, and unforgettable meaning. Her professionalism, her pursuit of perfection and of a job exceptionally well done, her generosity, enthusiasm, authenticity, sense of humour, and love for her country — but above all, her extraordinary willingness to go above and beyond to meet even the smallest wishes of each of the five members of our group — gave our journey an entirely new dimension! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Irma, for everything! We wholeheartedly recommend your services without hesitation! An outstanding agency and an exceptional guide: the perfect combination for a truly memorable journey.

Really nice experience. A dive in Albanian history, culture and people, very nicely presented and with a good touch of humour on top. Daniel really did his utmost to show us Tirana and its hidden places. He also considered our two youngsters and adapted the tour accordingly. Thanks and fully recommended 👍

Wonderful private week tour of Albania and its treasures!

Albanian Odyssesy was outstanding in every way and highly recommended. The cost of a private 5 day tour for my wife and I was very reasonable starting with being met at the Tirana aiport by the company owner Adrian. The company provided five star private guiding service by Adrian, well chosen restaurants and wonderful accommodations. Ilyr, the office manager stayed in close communication with us from beginning to end responding promptly to every contact. The company arranged a five day private tour including two days in the capital Tirana and the surrounding area. This included a city tour on day one, and a private 4 x 4 off road scenic drive and hike at Bovillia Lake by an experienced outfitter the company selected. This off road drive and hike was followed by an outstanding meal at Sofra Ariut Restaurant for typical Albanian cuisine. We toured the village of Kruje in the mountains. The company then arranged a three day tour of the Albanian Alps to hike the iconic six hour Theth to Valbona Valley National Parks hike. Day one was a scenic drive from the capital Tirana, into the Albanian Alps, stopping for a day tour of Shkoder, ending with an overnight in the village of Theth, staying at a lovely alpine lodge. The hike began the following day. Day two involved a professional guide the company selected who lead us through stunningly beautiful scenery over Valbona Pass and into the village of Valbona where we spend night two at the lovely new Valbona Spa Resort. The final day was a beautiful car ferry crossing of Komani Lake which resembles a Nordic Fjord. Lunch on the final day was at Mrizi i Zanave, Albania's well known agrotourism restaurant for a several course Albanian Meal with organic ingredients sourced from the surrounding farms. We were driven to Tirana Airport on the final day after an outstanding tour. Highest Marks.
