The tour begins with a comfortable drive from Durrës to the capital city, Tirana.
Our first stop is Skanderbeg Square, the heart of Tirana. Here, you’ll be introduced to Albania’s national hero and see key buildings such as the National Historical Museum and the Opera House.
We then continue to visit the Et’hem Bey Mosque, one of the oldest and most beautifully decorated mosques in Albania, representing a significant part of the city’s cultural heritage.
Next, we explore the Tirana Castle area – a charming blend of history and modern life, with stone walls, cafés, and artisan shops. A great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
From there, we head to the Pyramid of Tirana, a once-controversial communist-era structure now transformed into a creative and youth-oriented space. A short walk around offers insight into the city’s past and its urban transformation.
After exploring the city, we drive toward Dajti Express Cable Car Station, where you’ll enjoy a scenic 15-minute ride up the mountain. From the top, you’ll have free time to explore the natural surroundings, take in panoramic views of Tirana, and relax at the mountain cafés or recreational areas.
At the end of the experience, we return to Durrës.
We recently booked a 6-day custom tour of Albania with Albania Tours.al, and it was an amazing experience! I would like to specially thank Melisa for her quick responses and for arranging a perfectly customized itinerary for us, including accommodation and activities exactly as per our preferences. A very special thanks to Riti also, our wonderful guide and companion throughout the trip. He was extremely patient, kind, and accommodating — handling 5 girls with such calmness and professionalism! Both Melisa and Riti made our trip unforgettable, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone planning to explore Albania.
If I could give a rating above 5, I would. I cannot recommend Albania Tours enough. We feel so lucky to have come across Albania Tours on Instagram. We booked a private tour for 4 nights and from our first messages, they were extremely responsive, helpful, friendly and genuinely wanted to curate a holiday perfect for us! From the first day of our tour, we knew we had hit the tour guide jackpot! They are wonderful people, full of passion and knowledge, fun, laughs and care for our experience. I couldn’t imagine doing Albania any other way.
We had an unforgettable 2-day trip to Theth and everything was perfectly organized. The nature was breathtaking, especially the hike to Grunas Waterfall and the Blue Eye. Our tour guide, Ermel, was fantastic, friendly, very professional and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Albania!
I’ve traveled with this agency three times now from Luxembourg to Albania, and every single trip has been incredible. They take care of everything—comfortable transportation, great hotels, and they always make sure we get to try the most delicious local food. It really feels like traveling with friends who know exactly what you need. A special thank you to Ermel—you’re not just a great guide, but also the most careful and thoughtful driver. You made every journey feel safe and fun. Honestly, five stars aren’t enough!
Recently I have visited Albania for our anniversary and I have contacted Albania tours and Melissa from Instagram and trust me she is a extraordinary person. I have been contacting her from last 2 months and planning for the trip according she is very active and responded me quickly when ever needed. Our journey started and everything was going very smoothly where we have planned to go for drone shoot which is not included in the trip. When we have informed melisa about the drone shoot and photography she arranged everything what we need with positive response. She is very friendly and knowledgeable person. We travelled in a comfortable new car, we went to the best places on the iternity that we had previously agreed on. We had an amazing candle light dinner for our anniversary which is arranged by melisa and Albania tours. I highly recommend Albania tours and hope to see them again soon
