Nos gustó mucho el tour por la Riviera albanesa con Kladji. El guía nos enseñó muchos sitios maravillosos en el tour, nos explicó muchas cosas de los sitios que veíamos y de la historia de Albania y nos llevó a Gjirokaster también que no estaba en el tour y teníamos muchas ganas de ver. Kladji fue muy amable con nosotros, nos compró fresas frescas en el tour y nos hizo pasar un día muy interesante viendo sitios preciosos. Muy recomendable. Se adapta a lo que necesites.E9472XXgabrielas
