Full description
Depart for Berat at 8:30 am and you will be transferred to this beautiful city for around 2.5 hours. This is one of the oldest cities and the pride of Albanian architecture. The three major neighborhoods of the old city are Mangalemi, Gorica, and Kala where the castle itself is located. You will start our tour with the castle area. Visiting the 'Kala' involves a steep walk up a cobbled path, but those who make it to the top will be rewarded with a fine view of the surrounding area. You will visit the Museum of Iconography 'Onufri' which bears the name of the renowned fresco and icon-painter Onufri, who has left a rich inheritance. This museum is located within the cathedral of St. Mary’s Assumption. You will also visit the Red Mosque, recognized by its lonely minaret and St. Trinity Church. After the fortress you will visit the Mangalemi quarter and the National Ethnographic Museum. This museum is located in one of the most characteristic and interesting houses of the town, a rich assemblage of traditional objects (more than 1000) and is one of the greatest examples of Berat’s long history and culture. Across the Osumi River lies the Gorica neighborhood, whose houses face those of Mangalemi. The arched bridge of Gorica, built in 1780, is a beautiful architectural monument constructed to link Gorica with Mangelemi. Enjoy some free time to stroll on the bridge. After the tour, there will be optional lunch in a restaurant with traditional cuisine (at extra cost) Return to Tirana.

Ilir and Iris were both delightful and easy to work wirh. Iris, ligistics was communucative and friendly. Ilir our guide was absolutely fantastic. He is a conscientious driver, a welcoming host, a knowledgeable guide, always helpful and practical, and managed to keep everyone comfortable and hydrated. I didnt realize there were so many subtexts to Orthodox icons, and I had little experience of islam and mosques, and Ilir skillfully added to my understanding of both thibgs and now I'm inspired to learn more! When we asked if he would play Albanian popular music in the drive back to Tirana, he gave us a wonderful overview. If you are hesitating to go on a tour with Ilir, hesitate no more I enthusiastically and heartily recommend with an A+ and a sky full of gold stars!

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide! Took us to a traditional place by the lake where we had breakfast, before heading to Berat. He was flexible and thoughtful while showing us the town, and we learned much about Berat and Albania in general. Recommend!

It was worth the visit. Seeing Berat city was fun and full of history. My tour guide was very knowledgeable about the place and along the way he shared loads of insights about Albania. I love seeing old towns and witnessing Berat City was definitely one for the books!
