We had a great day with Renato at the Cape of Rodon. As Renato is an experienced guide, he told us a lot about Albania and its recent and ancient history in many interesting conversations. This made us want more and we will therefore travel to Albania again and do tours with him again if the opportunity arises. It should also be mentioned that he is a very good and careful driver who cares about the well-being of his guests. At the end we went on a wine tasting with food in the same area. Here it was clear that Albania has a lot of potential when it comes to wine and will gradually build on this reputation.

Cape Rodon offers fantastic views from the cliffs! Not so crowded! The church is now closed on Wednesdays, so we couldn't see the church from the inside. Rodoni Beach right next to the church is great for swimming! Unfortunately, the wine tasting didn't take place because there was a private party at the winery. Our guide Besenik drove to an alternative, the Huqi agritourism, which was sensational! We liked it much better than the actual winery that was on the program! Thanks again to Besenik! A top guide!!!!!

We had a great time on this trip! We booked late the night before and they were super lovely in accomodating us. Aleks was a great guide and a great driver, and ensured we had a great experience. Would definitely book again!! Thank you

Great day trip!! Views were wonderful and the guide was very knowledgeable on the history of the area

thanks you again Besnik for this Magic day, best spots in Capo Rodoni and best wine dégustation 👌👌
