Highlights
  • Berat City Tours - Gaze upon Berat city and its fortress, perched majestically on a hill, as a sanctuary of historical significance. The impressive white fortress, originally constructed by the Illyrians using large white limestone blocks, is nestled among ancient olive trees on the hill’s inclines, evoking the rich historical legacy embedded within the city. As we progress, we will unearth the age-old treasures that have been meticulously preserved through various invasions and conflicts over the centuries. Among these is the Byzantine church, now home to the “Onufri” museum, which also holds one of the world’s most ancient codices. Strolling through the city’s old district, characterized by unique Ottoman-style homes from the 18th and 19th centuries, you’ll see families living with pride in these dwellings, embracing them as part of their historical and cultural inheritance. The memories of your journey through this heritage will linger with you well beyond your departure.

Fantastic family tour of Albania and Bosnia - Our family took a 16 day tour of Albania and Bosnia with stops in Montenegro and Croatia with Tours Albania and Balkans. Our guides (Genti 1 and Genti 2) were the best with fascinating first hand accounts of growing up in communist Albania and their experiences during the Balkan War. The trip was so personal and TAB went out of their way to accommodate our wishes. We truly had so much fun, learned a ton and will have lasting memories with our three sons. The activities were so diverse from hiking in the stunning Albanian Alps, to visiting a whole host of fascinating museums in Tirana, to an unforgettable stay in Sarajevo and so much more. If you are thinking of taking a trip to Albania or the Balkans, definitely do it and have Tours Albania and Balkans be your guide!

Great day! - I spent a very enjoyable day touring Berat with Olio from TAB. Olio was an excellent driver (important in Albania!), very knowledgeable, and a pleasant traveling companion. He made certain we saw all the important sites, and was open to any suggestions I made. Thank you, Olio, for a very enjoyable day.

Amazing Day Trip to Berat and Nurellari Winery ! - We were introduced to Jimmy by our private group tour organizer. Jimmy took care of all the transportation and sightseeing for our group. His entire staff was very professional. A shout out to Leko, who was our tour guide in Tirana. My wife and I took a separate a day trip to Berat and Nurellari winery with Genti who is one of Jimmy's tour guides. He is very knowledgeable and courteous. He made our trip a very memorable and enjoyable experience. We would definitely recommend Jimmy and his team for safe and comfortable related tours and transportation in Albania.

One of the best holidays we have ever had - We were looking for something different, somewhere we knew almost nothing about & that we didn’t have to fly halfway across the world to see. We had read a little before we went to Albania & felt it would be a bit of an adventure to a country with few overseas visitors. Just before we went, we saw the film ‘Taken’, which many of our friends mentioned, as a warning of the risks that we were taking – the bad impression of Albania given by this film could not have been more wrong. What we found was a very friendly and welcoming country, with a rich history and many fascinating archaeological sites, ancient churches, medieval frescoes etc. Albania is not a big country and, although the major sites of interest were spread widely throughout the country, we found that it was possible to visit all these places during our time there. But this is where our guide Genti comes into the picture. By taking a private guided tour, we were able to cover the whole of Albania in a week. Genti proved to be a very experienced “local” who could not have been more helpful, courteous, willing to answer our many questions, and do everything in his power to ensure that we had the best possible experience of his country. In the course of a week, Genti became like a family friend to us, buying us wonderful Albanian cherries (we have never tasted better), satisfying our desire for quality meals with fresh fish and lamb, even going the extra mile to find us the best baklavas! Genti turned our trip into one of the best holidays we have ever had, and we cannot thank him enough for that! He is a great credit to Albania!
