Our tour guide Saimir was brilliant, it was so worth getting a local tour guide. He had brilliant knowledge about his country and was super friendly. We got to see berat castle and the newer town below, learn about the history, politics and local customs. Fantastic tour!

Our tour was great! Loved learning about the history of Berat, both ancient and more modern. While the day was incredibly hot, we were able to take some breaks to cool off and drink something cold. Would certainly recommend to anyone who wants to visit this fascinating city where Eastern Orthodox churches reside next to mosques.
