The 15 Private Car Days in Albania That Earn Their Price

1.Berat Tour Osumi Canyons Exploration Lunch Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 212 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $47Our pick

Travel from Berat to Osumi Canyon for nearly three hours of guided walking, swimming, and optional rock jumps. Your guide supplies neoprene gear, a life jacket, helmet, and water shoes, followed by an Albanian lunch and brief stops at Bogovë and nearby legends.

“Positive points: the nature and canyoning experience is really worth. The tour is well organized and the guide Henry was really friendly. Points to improve: the equipment provided needs to be improved. This is particularly important for the old, damaged and dirty water shoes provided. And the water “tshirt” is useless as the water gets in and stays in, should be replaced with upper or full wetsuit. Asides from the equipment, the description is not correct. This tour ONLY includes the canyon and not all the other things mentioned. Please adjust description. Comparing to other competitors which combine this tour with Bogova waterfall, I consider this tour too expensive.”

The day was fantastic, a smooth ride from Vlore to Gjirokaster...spent the day wondering the winding streets on the hillside, explored a 300 year old Ottoman house, the castle and enjoyed some delicious authentic lunch in the bazaar. On the trip back to Vlore, we stopped to get fresh water from the mountain side run off and pick up some local mountain tea. Such an epic day.
