“Really great experience, Kruja is very cute like Sari Salltik. U have the chance to see a very typical Albanian city and an authentic bazar. The guide tour Paola was the best to tell us everything and explain all about the place we visited. Included it’s only the transportation (little bus) and the guide, maybe for the Albanian standards 20 euros per person are a little too much. Anyway we enjoyed our experience I recommend”
