Customer Reviews
The excursion was great- fab hike around the Canyon and walk to the Waterfall. Tasty lunch included in the price too. Soni was a fab guide- extremely knowledgeable. It was great to learn and understand more about Albania, the people, history, language , and his own personal journey. Very nice sized group for the excursion!
We had a great time wine tasting with The Professor! We visited Pupa Winery, a family owned winery near Berat. The wines were very good and the winery is in a beautiful setting with an interesting history and is family run. The Professor took us to visit the vineyards, explained the history of the winery and talked us through the wine making process in the winery itself. It was a brilliant afternoon and I highly recommend!
Our Guide Soni was very competent, knowledgeable, entertaining and respectful. He realised being an older couple that we needed a bit more support and shepherding. The tour is fascinating the canyon, the scenery the hiking the swimming, the waterfall. All very majestic.
