A Tour to Remember!

Reviewed December 21, 2024

I went on a 10 day tour with Arben in October 2024, starting in Tirana and covering a lot of southern Albania and can only recommend him wholeheartedly. Arben is such a smart, interesting guy, great sense of fun, brilliant company and a genuinely good guy. His knowledge of every aspect of his country, its history, culture is second to none. Wouldn't hesitate to book Arben - he'll make your trip!

A Passionate and Knowledgeable Guide: Exploring Northern Albania with Arben's Expertise and Local Connections

Reviewed December 4, 2024

I joined a group tour in the north of Albania and then hired Arben to take me on a further tour of other northern sights. Above all Arben is passionate and very knowledgeable about Albania politics and history and I thoroughly enjoyed being guided by him. He managed the group well especially given the different levels of mobility in the group and was attentive to the differing group needs. I asked Arben to take me on a day trip to see other sights. We went up to the border with Montenegro and then to a fabulous restaurant; Arben seemed to know half of the Albanian population and we could not have got into the restaurant without his connections. I can whole heartedly recommend Arben.

7 day walking and cultural tour of Tirana and Southern Albania

Reviewed October 11, 2024

Arben was our guide for a 7 day walking tour mainly of southern Albania in September this year. There were 10 in the group and most of us had come alone. His excellent knowledge of so many different aspects of Albania gave us a unique insight into this fascinating country. He speaks excellent English and is a very good communicator. He organised all aspects of the trip extremely well and was not fazed by any unexpected changes to the schedule or requests from the people on the tour. He has exceptional organisational skills and was always anticipating and planning the next part of the tour whilst managing whatever we were doing at the time. He is a good reader of people and made sure that everyone felt at ease. He also made the trip really memorable with his réflexions on Albanian life past and present woven in with some of his own and his family’s stories. The trip was great fun, very informative and memorable thanks to him. I would recommend him very highly.

Hiking the Accursed Mountains with Arben

Reviewed September 24, 2024

Arben led a Group of 11 walkers in the Accursed Mountains, taking us on a variety of hikes, including the Valbone-Theth Pass. He was an excellent Guide and companion, with a wealth of information about the mountains and his beautiful Country. He is clearly passionate about Albania, its history, culture and politics: we could not have wished for a better Leader. There's no doubt, the best way of seeing and finding out about Albania is with Arben!
