    A really nice tour and everything was well organised. The hotel in Tirana was great but the hotel in Saranda was nothing special and quite far away from the centre. It would be nice to know the hotels in advance and to have the opportunity to pay extra for a better hotel. But all in all, it was a great trip.

    Customer service before the trip was efficient and thorough. All questions were answered in a timely fashion and staff was warm and polite. Once the trip began, the onus seemed to be on the traveler to get details and clarifications related to pick up times and meeting places. The trip is incredible and you will do and see amazing things! Albania is an undiscovered gem in Europe and the people are welcoming and friendly. I felt very safe while I traveled solo throughout the time I was there. I would suggest to the company that perhaps a different locale be chosen for the beach stay portion of the vacation as I found Himara to be a bit dull and not much to offer a foreign traveler. There are numerous towns along the Albanian coastline that offer a lot more for guests to do and see and these areas should be considered by the company instead of Himara, (perhaps Saranda or Vlore). Accommodations are centrally located and make exploration of the city centers easy and accessible.

    Andi and Rando made sure we did a good amount of hiking and exploring, took us to remote beaches that were beautiful and we had all to ourselves, and overall added to our appreciation and enjoyment of Albania’s natural beauty and culture. This tour was absolutely what I was hoping for!
