We went on a tour with Arben to northern albania, to go hiking. Arben is a wealth of knowledge! We learnt so much from him and always felt comfortable and safe with him. We gave us an authentic experience and was always good fun to be around! Would thoroughly recommend Arben as a guide. Thank you so much for making our experience in Albania!
Albania is the most beautiful and interesting country. The scenery and flowers are truly spectacular. However having Arben as our guide for the week was truly the 'icing on the cake'. His in depth knowledge about the history and the politics of the country (as well as the best places to go) made it come alive and enabled us to understand Albania so much more. I am now more inspired than ever to come back to Albania - but only if Arben is available. Thank you Arben. Laura
Albin is one of a kind. He traveled three days with our group of 33 Dutch entrepreneurs, experiencing totally different things; City culture, history (recent and ancient), adventure, social venues and so on. They all had one thing in common; Arben made sure everything went smooth and had control without putting himself in the spotlight. He is not only a very good and well experienced tour guide, he is also a very good and pleasant young man. Reliable, responsible and with humour. Recommended !
I brought a group of experienced but aging friends from the U.K. to trek in southern Albania. A truly wonderful and memorable adventure that was made even more special by our guide, Arben ‘Benny’ Kola. He looked after us, educated us and entertained us to a level that I have rarely if ever encountered in some forty years of working in the travel industry. He’s a gem and huge fun with it!

Arben really deserves to be ranked No 1 of the guides to Tirana - and Albania. He was knowledgeable and patient with our group, accepting and dealing with all our needs on our short trip to Albania. I loved the way he shared with us the challenges of life in a country that is going through many changes, as well as giving us a detailed history of the past. If you need someone to guide you into special places that are not easily found in the guidebooks, then Arben will be a delightful companion. Just watch how he is greeted enthusiastically by friends as he travels about. You'll recognise him as he wears a white felted wool hat called a plis and you may even get to visit the place where it is made.
