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…”

“Albanian tours are one of the best companies I’ve ever organised a tour with. Their communication is great and it’s very clear what your itinerary will be.
