Ed Reeves
I'm the owner of a small travel agency based in Tirana. I'm able to arrange tours through Albania & Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"My company has an Albanian and Montenegrin team, so we focus on ethnic Albania, including Kosovo, western Macedonia and south Montenegro. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I got into travel completely by accident - I took a job with Condé Nast Publications in London focused on restaurants, gastronomy and hotels. In 2012 I travelled to Albania to write a story for the UK Sunday Telegraph and one thing led to another... In a bad case of mission creep I ended up setting up a small tour company. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"On my first African safari we spent three days searching for a lion. On the fourth, we met a huge male taking a morning nap on the plain. Our arrival woke him up, so he enjoyed a stretch - which scared a lady in our Land Rover so much that she screamed in terror, sending him scurrying into the bush. She was very nearly tumbled out the vehicle after him as a high-calorie apology. "

Ed planned a fantastic trip for me based on both the places I wanted to visit and his own extensive local knowledge.
During the trip Ed and his team provided friendly and efficient service and assistance as needed.
I would recommend anyone to book a trip through the team!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Lara! Glad you had a good tour with us!

Thanks so much for the kind words! Hope you can make it back one day and Nik can show you the north and Kosovo - he spent a lot of time in Prizren when working on the infamous Pristina-Tirana highway so has a lot of friends in Kosovo too! I know he had a great time showing you around, so thanks for choosing us!
We would go back tomorrow

We had a great time on our trip to Northern Albania and Kotor. Ed was very responsive and helped us with reservations before hand. Kreshnik was a very fun guide and made sure we had a fun and safe trip. While all of the trip was enjoyable the highlight for us had to be Valbone and Theth. While the weather was not fully cooperative it was still a great hike and the area was beautiful.
Thanks so much for the kind words, and glad the tour went well! Shame about the weather but it's so crazy nowadays... Hope you make it back one day to visit south Albania!
A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Trip to Albania!!!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Evie - Nik had a great time showing you around! Sorry Panorama was a bit impersonal for your taste but it does have the benefit of being close to the airport for the three departure flights, and another night in Tirana seemed overkill! We've passed on your comment about portion size to Camp Nivica - they have a new chef so are bedding him in! Thanks so much for travelling with us despite the issues booking!

The whole trip was amazing, well planned by Ed. Our guide Nik was amazing, really friendly, accommodating, welcoming and really made the trip. Would recommend for sure.
Thanks so much for the kind words - I know Nik had a great time showing you Albania! And if we'd known you were so dog-friendly we would have brought Bubi for the entire trip, not just the last day!
Nick did a fantastic job!

Thanks so much, Cecilia! Glad you enjoyed the tour, and I know Nick had a great time showing you some more off-beat corners of Albania that were new even for him! Hope you can all make it back to explore the south one day!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're just glad the trip was able to happen after so much craziness in the world! Ardi and I feel bad for photo-bombing all your group selfies though... Hope you can make it back to the Balkans one day - it was our pleasure to show you around!

We can't even say how wonderful this trip was! Both Ardi, and Ed were very good. Not only did they show us fabulous sights, nature and culture they introduced us to the locals and gave us fabulous service! The places they chose were great and the places we stayed were historical but very comfortable. I highly recommend Drive Albania. We have traveled to many places in Europe. This was probably one of the best. Don't wait until it gets expensive, go now! Because it is very inexpensive for what you get! But the country is changing fast! Go have a RAKI and a espresso!
So glad you and Luke enjoyed the tour! It was a fun one for us, too! Ardi and I hope you can make it back in the future - Montenegro and Kosovo await...
