“I had an incredible day trip to Kormani Lake and the Shala River as a solo traveler. From start to finish, the communication was clear and everything was really well organized, which made me feel completely safe throughout the entire experience. Our guide, Arber, was absolutely amazing knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable. The scenery was breathtaking, and I couldn’t recommend this tour (and Arber!) highly enough.”

“The team at Choose Balkans kept in touch with us right from the moment we booked the tour to the day of our tour and answered all our questions promptly. We had a great trip with our tour guide Arian. The time and route were very well planned to fit within a day trip. Our tour guide was a thorough gentleman who made our trip even more enjoyable and memorable.”

“It was a long journey from Tirana to Theth, Albania with my family, but it was absolutely worth it. We had a nice rest along the way and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where we tasted Byrek—an authentic Albanian pie that was incredibly tasty. The views of Read more”

“Just.myself and the wife ended up going and we had Armir. He was excellent. A fountain of knowledge. We learnt a lot about the history of Algeria on the way there, and lots of stuff about Schkoder castle and it's surroundings. Had a decent lunch at the restaurant. Took a walk. Generally had a blast. Definitely recommend and hope you get Armir like we did.”

“The tour was fantastic and Albi was AMAZING. I feel like I took a master class in the history and culture of Albania. He was so professional and well put together; this man knew his stuff. He was an incredible driver and I felt very safe driving with him. I honestly have probably never had a better tour in my life. You can tell he cares deeply about his clients, as well as sharing the history and culture of Albania with those who are visiting. I would recommend anyone to ask for Albi for this tour because he made the trip an absolute joy. Seeing both of the castles was…”

“We had a great time. Endri was amazing. Kruje was amazing and also Shkoder. If you can, have the opcional lunch at the agro turism restaurant”

“Even though it was cold and rainy it was a good trip. The sun came out after our delicious lunch on the lake. The scenery was amazing- the sparkling lake and the Alps across it. And the town of Shkodër was charming.”

“The actual drive and itinerary were quite enjoyable with great views of lakes and good restaurants as well as the Skoder Castle. However as we paid an extra 40€ each for a private tour, we expected a more experienced guide. The driver is also a guide and in this instance we had college student who has been doing this for a few years. As in my review about Durres, Berat & the lake your, this has to do with the overall situation in Albania in transition and still trying to cope with increasing number of tourists. The guides need professional training so they know how to explain the rich and…”

“Gave our experience 5 stars as Ardi looked after us so well. Being picked up and dropped back at hotel was great. The view from the Castle was spectacular, as is the lake, what an amazing scene. If Ardi asks more time at Lake or Beach,,,choose the Lake and go for a walk. For us, Shenglin was done in 10 minutes (we have beautiful and free beaches in Australia). It was good to get a taste of the North”
