An exceptional local guide to Gjirokastër!
Pamela was truly one of the highlights of our time in Albania. We spent several hours with her exploring Gjirokastër’s Old Town and bazaar, the castle, traditional Ottoman homes, and the Cold War Tunnel, and she brought every part of the city to life.What made Pamela so special was the depth of her knowledge. She has actually been involved in archaeological excavations at Gjirokastër Castle, so walking through it with her was an entirely different experience. She didn’t just give us dates and facts—she helped us understand how the castle evolved over centuries and how the different periods of Albanian history fit together.We especially loved the range of the tour. In just a few hours, we went from Ottoman-era homes and the cobbled streets of the bazaar to the enormous castle overlooking the valley and then underground into the Cold War Tunnel. Pamela was wonderful at putting everything into context and answering our many questions along the way.She was also warm, engaging and incredibly easy to spend time with. It felt much more like exploring Gjirokastër with someone who genuinely loves and understands the city than being led through a scripted tour.If you are visiting Gjirokastër, we cannot recommend Pamela highly enough. Having her as our guide completely changed how much we understood and appreciated this remarkable city.

We had a wonderful morning with Oresti, our guide, who expertly took us down the river. It was calm with just the right amount of action! We swam, jumped off a cliff and learnt how to guide the raft. Fabulous experience and highly recommended.

Relaxing & Fun Tubing Adventure 🌊
Tubing on the Vjosa River was such a fun and relaxing experience! Floating down the river while surrounded by wild, untouched nature felt amazing. The water was crystal clear, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful the entire way.It was the perfect mix of adventure and chill — exciting enough to keep it fun, but also calm enough to truly enjoy the moment. Everything was well organized, and we felt safe and comfortable from start to finish.If you’re looking for a unique and refreshing activity in Albania, tubing on the Vjosa is a must-try. We had a fantastic time and would definitely do it again! 🌊🛟

This tubing experience was absolutely amazing. From the moment I got into the crystal-clear water, I felt the adrenaline rush and pure excitement. Floating through the gorge, surrounded by breathtaking views and wild nature, was unreal. It was fun, thrilling, and incredibly refreshing at the same time. Definitely an experience I would do again and highly recommend to anyone who loves adventure.

Yeah, good!
We had the exceptional opportunity to experience this hike with Besi, a guide as brilliant as warm. Curious, passionate and incredibly cultured, he has transformed our walk into a true immersion in the history, culture and soul of the Albanian people.More than just a visit, this hike was a remarkable human encounter, rich in exchanges and discoveries. The course is perfectly rhythmic: stimulating walking moments interspersed with welcome breaks, always adapted to the group. As for the landscapes... what to say, except that they are simply breathtaking! As soon as you leave the beaten path of the small bazaar, you are immersed in a spectacular and preserved nature, full of charm and authenticity.We recommend this experience 1000%. If you’re looking for a unique, humane and rewarding adventure, head out with your eyes closed.A huge thank you to Besi for this timeless moment!We were incredibly lucky to experience this hike with Besi, a guide who is as brilliant as he is warm and friendly.
