Kruje Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

I highly recommend the 'Undiscovered Balkans' tour. We visited a variety of sites in the three countries on the itinerary, both in rural and mountainous areas and in the major cities, including all three capitals. The accommodations were very adequate and the mostly bus-based transportation was excellent. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very professional.

This fast-paced journey through Albania gave us a great feel of Albania and covered most of the South. From morning swims in Lake Ohrid to soaking in the hot springs near Permet at sunset and exploring the Adriatic at Porto Palermo. Each day offered something new, with just one night in most hotels to maximize our time. Exploring Berat’s castle in the evening, spotting bunkers across the countryside, and ending in the picture-perfect town of Krujë made for unforgettable moments. Our guide was wonderful—his deep love and knowledge of Albania brought each stop to life.

An enlightening, entertaining experience in a country with a past that most of us can barely begin to comprehend. Stunning scenery, some ancient architecture, mixed with the more mundane day to day reality of life.

It's a fascinating country with a lot to offer. There is so much history and the people are very friendly and genuinely interested in you. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

The sequence of the tour, and the time allocated for each stop was perfect. It was well balanced between culture, history, nature, food, and people.

A most enjoyable holiday, shared with a lovely group of people - at a far more relaxed place than other Explore holidays I've done. We covered a lot of the central and southern part of the country - and it felt like we probably touched upon the majority of the major sites and towns.
