★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,317 reviews · 6 hours · from $27

Guided 6-hour trip from Durrës or Golem to Krujë Castle, Skanderbeg Museum, and the Old Bazaar, with scenic views and free time.

“It was a really good tour. Oresti, our tour guide is really knowledgeable, we learned a lot about Albania’s history. Which is really interesting to know. We visited off-season so there’s not much of people, I do think it’s just us who visited the castle. Just be prepared as it could get windy with a bit of drizzle. But in all fairness, this tour is really worth it. Thank you to our lovely tour guide who made this trip wonderful!”

“We were not very sure if booking this tour was worth it as we only had one day to visit Durres. But it was such a good decision, we got to see a part of the city that would not have managed otherwise and also had a lot of fun riding the ATVs. For some of our group this was the first experience, but the tour guide was great, he explained everything in details and took time during the ride to guide us through driving in difficult terrains and also answering all our questions. All in all it was a great afternoon.”
