5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed on 27 Jul 2025 by Lucy Samuels
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
It was an especial privilege to be able to do the Theth to Valbona hike. The best views I have earned with my own two feet!
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
If you are leaving from Tirana airport, and arriving there by car/taxi, please note that it could take at least 30 minutes to get to Departures from the time you arrive in the airport complex. The traffic is really really heavy.
For the paddle boarding, if you have any tendency to sunburn, make sure you take long trousers or something else to cover your legs and feet as you will be sitting on the board out in the sun for some hours, and any sun block will get washed off as you get wet. Even our local guide did this.
Be flexible - for instance, we didn’t do the biking, as it was too hot, but instead we
went to a mask factory, which was fascinating.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We noticed how all the places we stayed/ate in were owned by locals, so we
felt that we were genuinely feeding in to the local economy (hopefully!).
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
If I could give this trip more than 5 stars I would. A wonderful visit to a beautiful and fascinating country. We (myself and my three nearly-grown-up children) had a fantastic time, thanks in large part to our excellent guide Alfie, whose knowledge of and passion for his country was such a bonus.
Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
We want our vacations to be high impact in experience but low impact on the environment! Transport is mostly on footy except for transfers to points for excursions or restaurants if needed.Your visit will help sustain sensitive tourism and protection for these areas. As such, our tour guides will encourage you to behave in an eco-friendly manner at all times by supporting the Leave No Trace principles –traveling where possible along marked water channels, disposing of waste properly, leaving what you find (unless it’s other people’s rubbish!), respecting wildlife and being considerate of other visitors and the local community.
We are committed to local conservation projects and have contributed actively as well as financially to local initiatives. As one of the leading sustainable tour operators in the Balkans, it is up to us to lead by example, protecting the National Parks from over-development and ensuring their beauty can be enjoyed by the next generation.
We are also working with German eco-tourism NGO GIZ and the World Bank funded 'Albania and Montenegro Lake Skadar Joint Eco-systems Project' to identify formal ways for our customers to volunteer and directly benefit the environment during their stay.
People
We have built strong links with local communities and support their maintenance of threatened traditions – from bee-keeping, fishing and carp-smoking to the making of wine, cheese, olive oil and flavoured brandies. By visiting home-producers and buying their wares, you will build pride, contribute to the local economy and encourage the development of eco-tourism in an area where tourism needs examples of how to develop sustainably.Berat and Thethi are UNESCO-protected destinations – we only work with guides and family businesses that adhere to strict sustainable protocols.
English isn’t widely spoken, but your guides will be able to translate to make each interaction create a valuable cultural exchange between you and your host community. Your visit really counts in a remote, beautiful and unknown Balkan destination which is still suffering from decades of impoverishment after one of the longest and harshest communist regimes made Albania in effect a closed country for over 30 years.
