We wanted to record a video for my wedding and we decide to go in Albania, in south of Albania. We booked a trip with Off Limits Albania and we are not disappointed about this choice. I made a lot of beautiful photos and I created a perfect album for my wedding. Even their staff (Doni and Mike) was helping us by taking photos and I can really tell that these boys are very talented in taking pictures. Thank you Off Limits Albania.
I have some Albanian friends here in Nederland and they always invited me to go in Albania for holidays. I was a little bit skeptic about this country but when I discovered, I really can tell you that this country is breathtaking. They also booked a multi-day tour with Off Limits Albania. I thought that is going to be a normal trip but in the morning, when the big off road cars come to our hotel, I understood that this is going to be very special. We visited a lot of amazing places and the people there are very nice and friendly. Their hospitality is in another level. Everything it was perfect organized by Off Limits Albania. I am thankful to my friend and Off Limits Albania who made this holidays more special.
We booked a 3 day tour in south of Albania with Off Limits and we had a great experience with them. The boss of this company joined us in our way to Saranda and he was very positive and also a great person. He recorded everything with GoPro camera and drone. The drivers was very patient and respectful. They stopped the cars everywhere we wanted to take picture or visit something that we like. I will never forget these days in Albania. Thank you Off Limits for this amazing tour.
This is a great trip if you’re looking for an off road adventure. Everything was well planned and was a good itinerary. Our guide and driver were everything one could ask for. Highly recommend.
