I had an amazing one-day trip from Tirana to Prizren with a guide, Gjergj. He was professional, friendly, and shared fascinating insights along the way. The ride took 2 hours each way, but thanks to Gjergj, it was smooth and comfortable, with breathtaking views of northern Albania and Kosovo. Prizren was beautiful, full of history and charm. Highly recommend this trip!

I recently joined a local food tour in Tirana led by Ervis, and it was an amazing experience! Ervis is super knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Albanian cuisine and culture. We tasted delicious traditional dishes I would have never found on my own. But the tour wasn’t just about food—while we walked, we had great conversations about Albania, its rich history, and its current state. Ervis shared personal insights that gave me a much deeper understanding of the country. Highly recommend if you want to explore Tirana in a genuine, meaningful way!

A fun, informative and interesting walk around Tirana with our guides, Ervis and Brikena. We tried various Albanian treats and dishes and learnt a lot about Albania and Tirana. The tour was the perfect duration - just under 4 hours. It was our first day in Tirana and we feel very comfortable navigating the city on our own after this tour. Pre-tour communication was very good and we really enjoyed Ervis and Birkena’s company. It was just the two of us and the two guides so we were very well looked after! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tirana.

I just came from America and they immediately recommended this tour to us. It was fantastic to have something like this in the Balkans. Our guide, Ervisi met us near our hotel and took us on a tour of the city with some great food stops. I didn't really know anything about Albania food, but I loved trying new things. Ervisi was great, really friendly and told us about loads of Albania history. Would highly recommend the tour and guide!

I had a wonderful time.!! The best experience thanks to Ervis!! He was very polite and helpful. I will definitely recommend !!

I recently took a local food tour and it was a delicious way to explore the city! Ervis was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and we got to try some amazing dishes I wouldn't have found on my own. From savory street food to sweet local treats, it was a great introduction to the area's culinary scene. Highly recommend!

Ervis was excellent in his curating of the highlights of Durres in the short span of time I had before catching my flight!

The best Experience, everything was on spot. Very organized and well informed regarding the trip we had. Looking forward for the next trip.

This tour really exceeded my expectations. I knew nothing about North Macedonia beforehand, but I was in awe by the end - such a beautiful country. We had been on another full-day tour only 2 days earlier which had depleted our energy reserves somewhat, but we needn’t have worried. The pace of this tour was actually very relaxing, and we appreciated the slower pace which allowed us to take in much more of the stunning natural beauty of both Struga and Ohrid, both incredibly picturesque places. I must say that our amazing guide Ana made our day so memorable, she was so lovely and set a nice gentle pace, even giving us some time to explore each town on our own after showing us around the main points of interest, something you don’t seem to get on other tours. We felt very relaxed all day, so thank you Ana for giving us such a wonderful end to our holiday and for leaving us with some great memories.

We went on the wine tasting and vineyards escape with Iler our guide and we had the most amazing morning. Iler was very knowledgeable about Tirana and Enver, the owner of the winery was so lovely and enthusiastic about his wine. The traditional snacks we were offered complimented the wine beautifully and the view from the vineyard was stunning. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Tirana, thankyou so much!

Hi it was excellent very much enjoyed it food was lovely and the tour guide she was excellent to thank you for a lovely time

I booked this tour for the afternoon I arrived and it ended up just being me and the guide, Brikena. She was so friendly and informative about the local food, everywhere she took me I enjoyed immensely! I think I would reccomend to book the morning if you can as most of the markets were closed in the afternoon, which makes sense. This didn't effect the enjoyment of the tour for me. We ended up going a bit longer than the 3 hours because we talked so much. Walking and eating with Brikena was an amazing introduction to Tirana and the Albanian culture. She also pointed out other reccomendations for the rest of my stay. I would highly recommend to book this tour and to make sure to come hungry, there's so much food, I even had some snacks left for the next day!

Brikena was the dream guide for this amazing food/history tour. She was very prepared and accomdating on the walk and was amazing answering all questions I had. The food we tried was delicious and I left feeling full and happy. I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience Tirana to the fullest.

I had an amazing time on this food tour in Tirana! Brikena was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing Albanian cuisine and culture. We loved trying all the different dishes, from traditional bites to unique local flavors. It was the perfect way to explore the city and experience its vibrant food scene. Highly recommend!

My husband Peter & I travelled on a private tour with our guide Billi (Bilbil), from Choose Balkans. Our starting point was Athens finishing in Rome. The tour went for 14 days. (Athens, Kalabaka, Gjirokastra, Berat, Ohrid - Northern Macedonia, Tirana, Bari, Alberobello, Matera, Salerno, Naples & Rome) I can't speak highly enough about our guide, Billi, who was very informative, attentive, easy to get along with, spoke excellent English & was the smoothest driver. Choose Balkans, continued to contact us regularly to make sure we were happy & everything was running to plan. Our overall experience & history learned, made our adventure truly magnificent. There were many "Wow Factors" visiting the various UNESCO sites. At the end it was very hard to say goodbye to Billi, as he became a true friend. It is my pleasure to recommend dealing with Choose Balkans & hoping you are lucky enough to have Billi as your guide.
