Top experience with Erand team

Rated 5.0 out of 5

We were a group from Vitoria visiting the northern mountains with the Erand team. A team very involved and knowledgeable about the area. Advisable!!

This agency is made up of true professionals

Rated 5.0 out of 5

Our group was 50 people, not easy to manage, and everything went perfectly. We are a mountain club, which is why we ask you to get to know its peaks, valleys, and travel along the less crowded roads and paths, outside the tourist circuits. This means less hotel offering, moving along stone tracks, in short Adventure in a country totally recommended for lovers of nature in its purest form. This agency is made up of true professionals, they do their best to please you and solve any incident that arises, I remember there were 50 people.

We will surely return, Albania has incredible mountains and with this Agency that knows its country, everything is easier.

Amazing wild and authentic

Rated 5.0 out of 5

Erand was our guide. He was super professional and patient, but also made it feel like we were just exploring with a friend. He showed us some amazing wild, authentic parts of Albania and the most stunning snowy mountain views. Absolutely recommend!
