1.Berat city UNESCO tour, the Castle & Belshi lake- From Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 804 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $12Our pick

From Tirana, ride to UNESCO Berat for castle views, Ottoman quarters, Belshi Lake, and a relaxed paced day with English guide.

“Berat is worth a visit. Lovely place and friendly people, but you should better search for an alternative agency. They promise hotel pick up but, once you’ve booked the excursion they indicate a meeting point more than half a km away. Then, you are the last group to be picked, only to find there are only scattered seats available and your party has to split up. We paid the same as any other and we didn’t organize the bus route; it is absolutely unfair we are denied the chance to be together as a group (and the agency was aware this was going to happend as the bus was almost…”

Small-group day trip from Tirana to Durres and Berat, plus Belsh Lake stop. Roman amphitheater, hilltop views, castle churches.

“If you’re Italian, this is a 5-star cultural delight. If you’re English-speaking, enjoy paying to be background noise. This tour was sold as English only. What we got instead was “Italian Comedy Hour with Bladey.” Right at the start, he announced there were 5 English speakers (us included) and the rest Italians. From then on, the tour turned into a live podcast… in Italian. Think The Ghost Whisperer: a spirit talks for two minutes with endless detail, and Jennifer Love Hewitt sums it up as “He says hi.” That’s exactly how our “English” explanations went. The Italians got history, banter, inside jokes. We got: “It was the backside. You couldn’t…”

Everything was really well organised, we had a nice coffee stop on the way, followed by a scenic viewpoint in Albania overlooking beautiful Lake Ohrid. The border crossing was really smooth too, no stress at all. We stopped in Struga for a wander, then had plenty of time to properly explore Ohrid, Samuel’s Fortress was definitely a highlight! Our guide Ilir was absolutely fantastic, really friendly, super knowledgeable about the history of Albania, Macedonia, and the Balkans, and you could tell he had a genuine passion for the region. He also gave me some great food and drink recommendations for…”

We had to ask to lower because it would last for 6 hours. Otherwise the landscapes are breathtaking and the water is amazing. I recommend this experience for people who want to party.Auto-translated”

“I have to be honest, we did this excursion in August 2025, and I feel like I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. For 80 euros per person, we got a taxi-driver on a speed-boat, who very reluctantly drove us to all the indicated locations. When you arrived to each location, he would just say, "Get off, this is this, and we will leave in 20 minutes". He was supposed to provide us with snorkeling equipment, but it was never offered. Sometimes he would say we'd stay at the beach for 30 minutes, but after 10 minutes, he'd say we had to leave. Sometimes it was a short 10-minute stay, but…”
