I'd contacted Good Albania about a month before my trip and they promptly informed me that they'll put me in their system and if they can make a group, they'll contact me. Surprisingly, they contacted me twice- one for the Berat History and Wine tasting tour ( lasted around 10 hours + as spent a few hours at the winery) and the Communist Tour (7 hours+ -includes lunch). Both tours were 3 or fewer participants. The guides were very knowledgeable, professional and patient. The tour was done leisurely and I never felt rushed. Lunch ( not included in the Berat Tour) was eaten at a family owned restaurant with homecooked delicious food and home made ice cream that was to die for. The highlight of the tour was a family owned winery where 3 bottles of wine ( two red and a white) along with 2 bottles of raki- more than just tasting a few glasses of wine. The last stop of the Communist Tour was having raki at the Communist Bar in Tirana- what an appropriate ending to an insightful and educational tour. Overall, the two tours were more than good-they were GREAT! This was due to the wonderful guides, small group and the attentive office staff who prioritize their guests. A trip to Albania isn't complete unless you take at least one tour with Good (Great) Albania Tours.Our tour guide was fantastic and spoke very good English. Berat was beautiful and well worth the trip. We particularly enjoyed the wine tasting, where we were made so welcome. Our guide was very thoughtful and added so personal touches to the trip.

Amazing tour from our guide, Rando!!! He picked us up from our accommodation, was really easy to communicate with, and gave us such an amazing day. We went touring around the castle, the city and even had a wonderful meal at a country side restaurant we would never find ourselves. Super informative. Very flexible. He gave us so many recommendations during our tours (like where to go in Tirana, which restaurants and bars etc). Thank you so much for an amazing time.A really good day trip from Tirana to see the historical Berat and a sweet family run vineyard.
