Saimir, your rock! - Thank you to Saimir, our the guide on the walking tour! Saimir’s authenticity as well as wealth of information and knowledge of the history and culture of Albania kept us captivated throughout. The walk up to the castle is a bit hard but the castle itself and the views are definitely worth the effort. We would have loved to sample Gliko in a family home.this was not part of our tour.

Excellent walking tour of Berat - Saimir is a brilliant guide, extremely knowledgeable and clearly loves his city and is keen to show it to visitors. We saw many things we wouldn’t have seen without him, taking quiet routes down little winding back streets and seeing Berat from every angle. He was also very kind, helping us navigate the Albanian bus system when we were leaving Berat. He’s great company, with a wonderful sense of humour. Our time with Saimir was the highlight of our visit - highly recommended!

Fantastic walking tour of Berat - We had a fantastic walking tour of Berat with Saimir, which was one of the highlights of our two weeks in Albania. Saimir was a fantastic guide. I particularly loved how he not only showed us the key sights of the city, but also some of the amazing things to see that yours it’s typically miss. I loved how we always took the back roads through the local neighbourhoods and old ottoman houses, where Saimir would tell us all sorts of interesting things about the ways that people lived, how the buildings were made etc. At the end of the tour we had a fabulous lunch. If you are in Berat this is the best tour you can do - highly highly recommend. Thank you again Saimir!
