Good to know

Experiences in Albania, answered.

What interesting activities and local experiences can I try in Albania? +
Cook with a local host, taste regional food and drinks, try traditional crafts or spend time outdoors. You can make byrek in a Shkodra home, try weaving in Lazarat, enjoy cheese tasting with traditional singing, or explore Albania’s rivers and coast by raft, kayak or boat.
Where can I try traditional Albanian food or take a cooking class? +
In Shkodra, prepare byrek and japrak with Alma in her home and share what you’ve cooked, or join a local food tasting. Cooking experiences are also available in Gjirokastra, while nearby Lazarat offers cheese tasting with traditional singing. Check each experience for its menu and what’s included.
Can I book a raki, wine or craft beer tasting? +
Yes. Discover raki tastings in Berat, Tirana, Vlora, Korca and Gjirokastra, alongside wine experiences and craft beer tasting in Tirana. Each listing explains the drinks, food pairings, duration and available dates, so you can choose the tasting that suits you.
Which boat trips and outdoor activities can I book? +
Choose coastal boat trips from Himara, Saranda and Vlora, or explore rafting, kayaking, tubing, ATV rides, ziplining and scuba diving. Availability depends on the season and conditions. Check each listing for the route, equipment, activity requirements and what’s included.
Are experiences available only in Tirana, or in other places too? +
Our experiences take place across Albania, including Shkodra, Berat, Gjirokastra, Korca, Permet, Theth and the southern coast, as well as Tirana. Tell us where you’re staying and your dates, and we’ll help you find something suitable nearby.
Can you arrange experiences in Montenegro and other Balkan countries? +
Yes. Our team can arrange experiences in Montenegro and other Balkan countries on request. Tell us where you’re staying, your dates and interests, and we’ll confirm suitable options, availability and prices. We’ll also be adding experiences outside Albania to our online catalogue soon.
Can I book an experience if I’ve already arranged my holiday? +
Absolutely. You don’t need to book a multi-day tour with us. Add a cooking class, tasting, boat trip or outdoor activity to your existing plans. Check the location and timing, or ask our team to help you find an experience that fits your stay.
Can I join an experience as a solo traveller? +
Yes, subject to availability and any minimum participant requirement. Many travellers enjoy meeting local hosts and other guests through an experience. Choose your preferred activity, or send us your dates and interests so we can confirm the options and price for one person.
Can I book a private experience for my partner, family or group of friends? +
You can ask us to arrange a private experience for your own party. Tell us which activity interests you, your preferred date and how many people are coming. We’ll check whether it can run privately and confirm the arrangements and price before you book.
Which experiences are suitable for children and families? +
Cooking, food experiences and selected outdoor activities can be enjoyable family options, depending on the children’s ages and interests. Age limits and participation requirements vary. Tell us who’s coming so we can help you choose a suitable experience and check the details with the host.
Do I need previous experience or a particular fitness level? +
Some experiences welcome beginners, while others have specific fitness, swimming or previous-experience requirements. Check the individual listing before booking. If you’re unsure, tell us your experience and preferred activity level, and we’ll help you check whether it’s a good fit.
Can vegetarians, people with food allergies and non-drinkers join? +
Options vary by experience. Some hosts offer vegetarian dishes or alcohol-free alternatives, but please tell us what you need before booking. We’ll check with the host. For allergies, ingredients and preparation arrangements must be confirmed before deciding whether the experience is suitable.
How can I check accessibility and physical requirements? +
Tell us your access needs before booking. We can check details such as steps, walking distances, uneven ground, venue access and boat boarding with the host. This helps you choose an experience that suits you, without relying on a general description alone.
How long do the experiences last? +
There are short activities, experiences lasting a few hours and longer outings. Each listing gives the expected duration and start time. If you have another booking or a flight to catch, allow time for travel to and from the meeting point and check the schedule with us first.
Is hotel pickup included, or do I meet you at the venue? +
It depends on the experience. Some include transport, while others require you to meet the host at a home, venue, harbour or activity base. Check the inclusions before booking. Your ticket will show the meeting location and the arrangements for your experience.
How do I find the meeting point and contact my local host or guide? +
When you book, you receive a ticket with the meeting location, contact numbers and the information you need for your experience. Check your ticket before setting off, and use the contact details provided if you need help finding your host or guide.
What is included in the price? +
Each experience has its own inclusions, such as the host or guide, activity, food, drinks, equipment or transport. The listing explains what is included and what costs extra. Please check these details for your chosen experience, rather than assuming every activity offers the same services.
How do I book and pay, and can I book at short notice? +
Choose your experience, select the available date and options, and follow the booking steps. You’re charged once your booking is confirmed. For last-minute requests, contact us with your preferred activity, date and number of guests so we can check availability.
What happens if bad weather affects my experience? +
Outdoor activities may need changes to their route, timing or arrangements for safety. If weather affects your booking, we’ll explain the available options with the host or guide. Any rescheduling or refund follows the terms for your experience. You can contact us using the details on your ticket.
Can I cancel or change my booking? +
Day trips and experiences offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, subject to the fees and separately stated non-refundable costs in our booking policy. Later refund requests are considered at our discretion. Date changes require at least 24 hours’ notice and are free, subject to availability. No-shows and requests after the scheduled start do not qualify for a refund or alternative date.
