Billie Goldstein review 28 May 2022
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The scenery. Also, the guide and the driver were both excellent.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Prepare for lots of walking, including up and down many steps. One doesn't need rain gear in Albania in the summer.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It helped local people, insofar as we spent money there. We did nothing in particular aid of environment/conservation. I personally tried to refill my own water bottle, rather than buying bottled water, but it wasn't always possible. There was almost no opportunity for recycling.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

Brian Hague review 25 Apr 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Stumbling on a Sunday Farmers Market in a field near Korca. As far removed from the equivalent in my home city as one could imagine. The Albanian one was in a field with local farmers selling livestock to one another (goats and piglets being loaded into the boots of Mercedes) when not sat around at pop-up bars drinking beer. A glimpse of traditional Albania with a modern twist2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes to the first, not obviously to the last two. Albania has a real litter problem, roadside verges can be even more littered than the UK4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
