I've been on so many tours but this one in Albania is simply the best. I’ve easily booked a 4-day customised tour with Ari, the operator and tour guide of A Tour To Remember. It was easy to negotiate things especially the budget of the trip and places and things you may want to visit to be included in the itinerary. Some of the best parts of the was driving along the coastline, watching the beautiful sunset in Lekuresi Castle overviewing Saranda, being mesmerized with the mytical beuaty of the blue eye, short hike on Gamti Mountain to witness the magnificent and relazing view of Bovilla Lake, admiring the beautifully preserved ottoman houses in Berat and shopping in the old towns of Gjirokaster and Kruja, the city above the sky. But to be honest no place is a waste in the trip, everything was worth visiting. The experience I had with Ari, was like no other. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Albania, and he made sure to bring me to all the best spots that I should not miss during my stay in his country. You can sense how passionate he is on how he talks anything about Albania. His enthusiasm for the country was infectious, and I really had a great time! Oh and did I mention that the man is really a God of photography? So no worries with your travel photos as each memory is covered by this great talented man. Ari has been an amazing guide, driver, interpreter, and but most importantly and unexpectedly being my new best friend in another country. Come visit Albania and dont hesitate to book your trip with A Tour to Remember.florjanr96
