My wife and I went on a one-day trip to Tirana and Kruja. Orange Tours was the organizer. We want to thank them for a wonderfully spent day. Everything was perfectly organized. It’s clear they know what they’re doing. We’ll be in Albania again in September and will definitely take another trip with this agency.
We spent one day on a trip with Orange Tours, visiting Tirana and Kruja. Everything was well organized, and the guide shared interesting stories in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. He’s Albanian but speaks Polish very well. Kruja made a huge impression on me – especially the old bazaar and the castle. A great day; I will definitely use Orange Tours again.
