Fantastic one-day tour of Durrës...

02-Jul-2021

Fantastic one-day tour of Durrës and Apollonia! I’ve written extensive review on TripAdvisor and Expedia- but briefly, I will be back and this will be the only company I contact. Their focus on local experts, food (and I am sure lodging is the same) is real and priceless.

06-Sep-2022

I took three tours with Good Albania during my weeks stay in Tirana, and all were exemplary. I went to Ohrid with Mimi, Prizren with Soni and Durres with Dio, all the tour guides were excellent drivers and had extensive knowledge of the places they took me. I felt really safe and I felt like I made the most of my time here in Albania with the help of these tours. I would thoroughly recommend Good Albania and will definitely be back soon for more adventures!

27-Jul-2023

We had the opportunity to explore the center of Tirana, including a visit to BunkArt. In the afternoon, we took the cable car up to Mount Dajti. The panoramic view of Tirana from above was breathtaking, and once at the top, we decided to try the adventure park trails. The zip lines were incredibly fun and added an extra touch of excitement to the experience! The Good Albania team was exceptional, always kind and engaging. Their responsiveness over the phone to every last minute request, made everything even more enjoyable.
