Great day, long drive
It is a long day in the car, be ready for that. But the bazaar and the museum were worth it and Arben kept it fun.

Worth every euro, one price for all of us
Five of us in a clean minivan for less than a bus tour per person. Arben recommended lunch and it was the best meal of the trip.

The highlight of our two weeks in Albania
Arben was on time to the minute, drove carefully and knew so much. We added a stop at the last moment and it was no problem. We still talk about the bazaar.

Flexible and relaxed
We wanted more time for the bazaar and skipped one stop, Arben just adjusted the plan. Felt like travelling with a local friend.

Safe driver on mountain roads
I was nervous about the roads but Arben drove calmly and stopped for every view we wanted. Car was spotless with cold water ready.
