Our driver/guide,Andi, was great. He was very knowledgeable not only about the history of each place we visited but had lots of suggestions for places of interest or places to eat that we’d might like. He took our interests into consideration and tailored his suggestions to fit them. We can’t say enough good things about his professionalism and his facility with English.
We particularly loved Theth ( but not the guesthouse), Gjirokaster (great hotel, our favorite ), and Lazarat ( the community working together to change its reputation was inspiring).

We appreciated her responsiveness and follow through.
Migen was outstanding in his knowledge, energy, and driving skills. His ability to share history, culture, and personal experiences greatly enhanced all aspects of the trip. When weather changed our plans, he quickly adapted the itinerary, spent hours rearranging our ferry, and expanded what we were able to see and experience despite the rain.
Migen's talent as a guide on the ground exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful we were traveling with him!
The cities and experiences we enjoyed:
Tirana, Berat, Alpeta Winery, Gjirokaster (including Ardenica Monastery and Apollonia), Langarica Canyon, Ksamil and Butrint, side trip to Corfu (with an excellent guide) , Himare, Llogara Pass, and Kruje.
Migen was with us every step of the way, highlighting history, landscapes, and culture. His contributions were priceless.

Hotel Portik
Berat

I stayed at a winery accommodation that had only three rooms. They hosted a wine tasting around 6 PM, which was very enjoyable. The hosts were very friendly, and the wine tasting was quite generous with small bottles of different wines. It was a very nice and intimate experience.

Blerina's Agrotourism Concept

My last night was spent at a unique agritourism property near the Tirana Airport. It was a quaint place with about sixteen rooms, two restaurants, and a farm setting where they grow their own plants and have cows. It was a neat and interesting experience, very different from typical hotels.

I took a sightseeing tour of Kotor, Montenegro. The town is really beautiful with a huge protected bay area and some neat little islands. It was quite busy with tourists, especially cruise ship passengers, but the tour guide Natasha was excellent and gave a great tour of the inner city, helping me navigate the busy spots.
