Hello. I'm Vjola, your local expert for Croatia

Active online: 8h ago

I was born and raised in Tirana, where I grew up surrounded by stories, traditions and the lively rhythm of the city. I have always loved meeting new people and discovering how travel connects us, no matter where we come from. For four years I worked as a guide across Albania, sharing hidden corners, history and culture with travelers. Those experiences taught me not only about my country, but also about what visitors truly look for: authenticity, warmth and memorable moments. Today I create tailor-made trips for those who want to explore Albania and the Balkans in a personal, genuine way.

13-day couple trip to Montenegro & Albania

“We had a really good trip throughout almost all of Albania - plus Kotor and Budva in Montenegro. However, we probably should have added a few more days as moving hotels most mornings was a bit of a pain. Also, quite a lot of time in the car, which I guess was inevitable if we wanted to see everything in 12 days. Time in the car was made fun by our amazing driver, Randi (Marindo). He was so knowledgeable, relaxed and funny. Think it's fair to say that by the end of the trip he had become a lifetime friend. Albania itself is a beautiful country with an amazing coastline and friendly people. Prices are great. Good meal with very nice wine about £40 in most places. Montenegro more expensive (UK prices in the resorts) but also beautiful. A highly memorable trip.”
