WOW and WOW!!! Adam is outstanding… - Wow and wow!! Adam was the best tour guide we have ever had and we’ve been around the world. Not only did Adam have all our questions answered but he made effort to find my parents land where they were brought up as children. Wow!! He went over and above our expectations. Was worth every penny and felt something very special spiritually as he took us to my roots of my culture. You must have him as your tour guide. It’s a must and worth every penny. He treated us like royalty no joke. Thank you Adam from the bottom of our hearts. ☝️😎 Jim M. (Juma)

Most flexible and accommodating tour of Albania - Albanian express travel was a great agency for our first trip to the beautiful country of Albania! We were taken to the best spots of the country even the little restaurants, our guide was most accommodating if we wanted to make any stops and he took us to some spots I could not find on google either! I highly recommend this tour and you can customize to your liking like we went to northern Albania up in the alps and it was breathtaking. I would love to come back and hire them for visiting other Balkan countries. Falimenderit!

Extremely Satisfied - I really cannot say enough of how satisfied we were with Albania Express Travel. Adam was so much fun to hang out with and incredibly knowledgeable about the geology of the region. He will go out of his way to ensure that you get to see the hidden gems of Albania. The landscape was even more breathtaking than I had imagined. We really enjoyed each day’s activities, the itinerary was excellent and the food and accommodation of a high standard. (PS he is also great in taking photos. 😉) Everything was organized into perfection, an amazing trip that I highly recommend!

Incredible South Albania - I, along with my husband and 7 year old daughter traveled to Albania and I must say it has been an incredible experience. This country is definitely an hidden treasure which the world needs to explore. We wanted to do an international trip to a destination which doesn’t have visa hassle, affordable, serene and happening at the same time. Upon my friend’s recommendation, we chose Albania and I can’t thank her enough. I immediately wrote an email to Albania Express Travel after checking their website which was very informative. They replied back timely and answered each single query of mine which made the entire itinerary planning and booking extremely smooth. We knew it’s going in the right direction. The hotels and car provided was just perfect. In 8 days tour, we enjoyed rains, snow and extreme sunshine and saw mountains, beaches, hills, castles and list goes on and on. The people are extremely friendly and serve amazing fresh food. We were delighted with their hospitality. A very special mention about our Tour guide, Mr Adam. He is a master with exhaustive experience. We consider ourselves very lucky to have him tour this wonderful country. In a nutshell, I am definitely reaching out to Albania Express Travel for future trips around the region.

Amazing Albania - Albania is a beautiful country, and what makes it more amazing is the people and the rich history behind it, our group enjoyed the whole tour tremendously, we are very lucky that Adam from Albania Travel Express carried out all our travel itinerary excellently. We all felt very well taken care of, safe and at the end of our trip immensely grateful. The places that we have been to are great, the food - simply fabulous and the private transport made it more comfortable. Our Hotel Bookings, Airport Transfer and COVID PCR Testing ran smoothly and quick which was really important to us. Should there be a chance for us to go back in Albania, we will surely book with Albania Travel Express again.

Misunderstood Albania -- A Must Discover Balkan Gem - My friends and I (four of us) unanimously agreed that the whole tour was a wonderful experience beyond words. I am sure this tour will remain one of our best for a very long time. We have opted a 10- day Albania tour that includes Tirana, Kruja, Shkodra, Elbasan, Pogradec, Korca, Voskopoja, Permet, Gjirokastra, Butrinti, Saranda, Vlora, Berat, Apollonia and Osumi Canyon. Every place that we went to enchanted us on different way. We always end each day of the tour feeling tired but enormously happy and delighted.
