Reviews for Albania tailor made tour
Gaynor Sinton review 1 Jul 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The mountain scenery. The castles and the Roman remains.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Check the accomodation before you go. We had 3 night stay on the coast and had to endure 3 nights of very loud music which started at 8pm and finished at midnight.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Not particularly.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We had a few disappointments as regards accommodation and one trip had not been booked for us. We have used Responsible Travel several times in the past but we didn't feel that this trip fitted the criteria.Read the operator's response here:
Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that this tour did not always meet your expectations. The tour was tailormade and led by a local Albanian guide with visits to local providers. In high season on the Albanian Riviera it is common for hotels to put on entertainment. This was a small hotel in a quiet area, however we understand that the live band playing until midnight was upsetting.
We are sorry you did not think that the tour benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation. All our local staff including your guide are locally based and employed full time, which is only possible with the support of visitors such as yourself. We include visits to local family run restaurants and businesses such as in Fishte and Dukat in addition the visit to Llogara National Park supports the conservation work in that area.
Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
