Voyzo runs 10 private tours across 1 destination in Albania, covering 9 attractions — each with your own guide, driver, and vehicle, and an itinerary built around your group rather than a fixed bus schedule.
Albania sits on the western Balkan Peninsula, facing Italy across the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. It spent nearly half a century closed off under one of Europe's most isolated communist regimes until 1990, and only opened up to real tourism in the last fifteen to twenty years — which is a big part of why its coastline and mountains still feel far less discovered than Croatia's or Greece's, just across the water. Tirana, the capital, is a compact, brightly painted city that has changed dramatically since the 1990s; inland and to the south sit Ottoman-era hill towns, and to the north the limestone peaks of the Albanian Alps.
Voyzo's Albania tours are built around that same real geography rather than one single base: Tirana, the UNESCO-listed towns of Berat and Gjirokastër, the Albanian Riviera along the Ionian coast, and the Albanian Alps around Theth. None of these sit close enough together to see from a single hotel, so routes are planned as multi-day circuits that link them.
Public transport between Albania's regions is thin and schedules for the shared minivans (furgons) that connect smaller towns are largely unpublished, and the mountain road into Theth is unpaved and can close after heavy rain or snow. Voyzo pairs every Albania itinerary with a private driver and vehicle for the full trip rather than leaving travelers to piece together local transit or self-drive unfamiliar mountain roads.

May, June, September and October bring warm days without the peak-summer heat and crowds that hit the coast in July-August; spring and autumn are also the better windows for hiking around Theth and the Albanian Alps.
Rail is limited and bus schedules between smaller towns are inconsistent, so most visitors combining the coast, the mountains and the south in one trip travel with a private driver rather than public transit.
Coastal summers run hot and dry (28-35°C / 82-95°F), while the mountains around Theth stay noticeably cooler and can turn wet even in summer — pack layers and sturdy shoes if the route heads north.
Albania uses the lek (ALL), though euros are widely accepted in tourist areas. Tipping around 10% at restaurants is appreciated but not obligatory, and cash is still preferred over cards in smaller towns.
Albanians traditionally shake their head for 'yes' and nod for 'no' — close to the reverse of Western convention — though most people in tourist areas have adapted to visitors' expectations.
The access road into Theth and the Albanian Alps is unpaved, narrow, and prone to closure after heavy rain or snow, so it's a route better suited to an experienced local driver than a self-drive rental.
