★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,171 reviews · 8 hours · from $23Our pick

Review of the $23 Kruja day trip from Tirana, with Sari Salltik views, Skanderbeg history, the Old Bazaar, museums, and practical tips.

“Really great experience, Kruja is very cute like Sari Salltik. U have the chance to see a very typical Albanian city and an authentic bazar. The guide tour Paola was the best to tell us everything and explain all about the place we visited. Included it’s only the transportation (little bus) and the guide, maybe for the Albanian standards 20 euros per person are a little too much. Anyway we enjoyed our experience I recommend”

Review of Kruja Castle and Old Bazaar tour from Durres or Golem, with Skanderbeg history, mountain views, free time, and practical tips.

“I booked this strip since I only have afternoon available to visit Kruja and I really wanted to visit this place. And I wasn’t dissapointed. Kruja is such a beautiful preserved important historcal place in Albania and it is probably the place where you can felt the spirit and history of the Albanian strongest. The tour itself was excellently communicated by the tour group and expertly guided by a very young guide by the name of Aurel. The guide was young but very attentive and knowledgable about the places. In the town and Castle of Kruja, he gave us a thorough briefing about the place and its significance in the…”

Explore Kruja Castle and its old bazaar from Durres or Golem, with mountain views, local stories, free time, and excellent value.

“Despite the bad weather, it turned out to be a really good day. Our guide was very knowledgeable, with great communication from start to finish. The hotel pick-up and drop-off were super convenient, and the tour was interesting, informative, and fun it even kept our teenage sons engaged the whole time. The tour lasts about 5–6 hours, covers all the key spots, and gives enough time for the two museums. Great value for money, and we also enjoyed lunch at Panorama Hotel. Highly recommended thank you !”

Review of Tirana’s Bovilla Lake and Kruja day trip, with a short mountain hike, castle, bazaar, local food, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“When you choose a tour, your day will have everything to do with your host---their knowledge, attitude, interest in showing you the country---and the size of your group. Our guide, Gjenç, and driver Doni, were fabulous, and this is a true small-group tour. The day begins with a ride up to the reservoir, which is interesting in itself, a hike up to a viewing platform, then a truly spectacular lunch in Krujë, followed by the castle and the marketplace, which is a mix of beautiful handmade Albanian items (and then some other things you don't need). But the heart of the tour is what you'll learn about Albania, from a…”

He had a nice, safe vehicle to get us around and knew which times were best to visit everything without being overcrowded by tourists. He even helped us calling some hospitals because we had a medical issue we needed to be sure about. Amazing experience and worth your time!”

The elder sister's professional driving skills navigated the hills with ease, while the Belkisa’s(younger sister) expert guiding and in-depth knowledge of the area made our trip unforgettable. They also provided excellent recommendations for dining and planning our daily itinerary. Highly recommended! Rating: 5/5 stars (from both my wife and me)”
