Customer Reviews
We had a fantastic week with Explore in Albania enjoying the variety of town, mountain & seaside locations as well as a variety of activities, we loved the white water rafting & RIB boat rides & we’d recommend doing the walking tour into Vlorë old town to understand Albanias history a little better too. Our tour leader was fantastic, really friendly, kind & knowledgeable & we were with 4 other very friendly families. We dropped 1 star for the following reasons: 1) So much travelling.. on the bus/off the bus most days as there were lots of planned activities but this meant our time at a few of the stops was very limited. 2) Our hotel in Vlorë (Hotel Partners) was very big & commercial, we were expecting smaller, independent, family-run venues which are a little off-the-beaten-track, as a family tour we were also expecting the hotels to have swimming pools but this was only the case in Gjirokaster (Hotel Partners has a spa pool & we were only allowed 1x 2hr session during our stay). 3) We would have preferred more time in Gjirokaster & thought that the rest day could have been there on the 4th day rather than in Vlorë on the 6th day. Otherwise we had a wonderful week & would recommend..
Great group, well organised. Tour guide and driver (Tedi and Fati) were excellent. Friendly, competent, well informed and interesting. Everything was pitched just right for children and adults. Good variety of activities.
A fab tour from Explore. Their tour leaders are always so passionate and enthusiastic and group sizes are not too big. This trip allows you to experience the beauty and diversity of Albania and understand the ongoing political and economic struggles the country has been through with centuries of occupation by the likes of the Ottoman Empire, the Romans and then at the hands of Communist Communism. Albania is now able to show off its beauty and is increasing it tourism offering. A hidden gem.
