This trip was amazing and it was a good balance of beaches and mountains. There were also a lot of things included such as farm dinners which was nice compared to past trips I’ve been on. We also stayed in hotels this trip and all of the hotels were exceptional. I think this was the best way to get around Albania, which is up and coming and see what the country has to offer. Also going into Kosovo was a plus because I would have never went there and if it wasn’t for this Contiki and even though we were only there for a couple hours, the capital is really nice and charming. It was above my expectations and I would definitely do this trip again.
This trip is an incredible way to learn about Albania and its beauty. I highly recommend this trip to experience how truly stunning Albania is!
Nice sites but tour manager was not good
Everyone i talked to on the trip said this was the best contiki theyve done. This tour is worser for nightlife and party vibes but perfect for relaxing beach vibes.
This trip was amazing. It was a great mixture of beaches and mountains with the added bonus of a stopover in Kosovo. I would recommend this trip to anyone
A fantastic journey across a fascinating part of the world. Albania is an emerging destination and will be a big name in tourism in a few years. The country blends spectacular scenery with complex history. There's something surreal about visiting a wine-farm sown with Cold-War era bunkers or seeing a Mosque and Cathedral on the same block. It is this blend of cultures which make the country so worthwhile to visit.
I didn’t have much expectations as it was my first contiki but i will say my expectations were well exceeded and it was fantastic first trip in Albania, i really look forward to future bookings i had so much fun 100/10 recommend Albania. Shoutout to trip manager - she was fantastic, informative and patient!
The trip was great! It was the first trip so it was really great to experience that and provide feedback so future travellers can have as good a time as we did! Good balance of free time and included/paid add ons. The two included dinners were brilliant, delicious and beautiful venues. Lots of beaches so if you love the beach then this is for you. The peaks were magnificent (and slightly cooler) with the hike being a highlight. Our ground team were brilliant, friendly and so knowledgable. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic balance between time by the beach, the cities, and time up in the mountains! There was plenty of time to allow for people to go and see different local sights even with doing all the included activities
What a fantastic country! If you want an Euro-Summer in a surprising and underrated place this is it! Albania was magical
