★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 592 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $24Our pick

This 7 to 8 hour trip from Tirana combines Sari Salltik’s mountain shrine, Kruja Castle, and the old bazaar. English-speaking guides such as Bledi and Ervin lead the day, with guided sightseeing, free time for lunch and shopping, hotel pickup, and air-conditioned transport included.

“If you’ve only got a couple days in Albania, this is the trip to take—my parents and I loved the tour of Kruja! Bailey was a fantastic guide, really flexible when my mom had to take a little longer on the stairs, and was clearly very knowledgeable about all the sights we visited. We especially loved walking through the bazaar and visiting the craftsworkers she highlighted, we got some lovely, unique gifts to bring home. Our experience was so great we booked a tour with the same company for Berat the next day. Definitely recommend!”
