Two-day itinerary
Day 1: Tirana, Berat and Mount Tomorr
Depart Tirana and travel toward Berat, one of Albania’s most important historic cities. Walk through the castle quarter and see the characteristic Ottoman-era houses of Mangalem and Gorica. After time in the old town, continue by 4×4 toward the foothills and highlands of Mount Tomorr. The exact mountain route is selected according to season, road conditions and the interests of the group. Overnight in Berat or the surrounding region.
Day 2: Osum Canyon and return to Tirana
Continue toward Çorovodë and Osum Canyon, stopping at safe viewpoints for photographs and short walks. Water levels and weather change the character of the canyon throughout the year, so any optional rafting or water activity is arranged separately and only when conditions and licensed local operators permit. After exploring the area, return to Tirana with scenic stops along the way.
Who this tour is for
This private tour suits couples, families and small groups looking for a compact Albania adventure with a balance of heritage, nature and 4×4 travel. Some sections may involve uneven roads and short walks. Tell us about mobility needs, children in the group or preferred activity level before booking so that we can adapt the plan.
Route and conditions
Mountain and canyon access can change because of snow, rain, road works or local restrictions. Safety comes first: the driver may adjust the route while preserving the main experience. The final pickup point, accommodation, meals, inclusions and price are confirmed in your personalised proposal.

Is rafting included?
No. Rafting is not automatically included. If you want to add it, availability, safety conditions and the operator will be confirmed separately before departure.
Do we need a 4×4 vehicle?
A 4×4 is appropriate for selected mountain roads and gives the itinerary more flexibility. The precise route depends on current access and weather.
When is the best time to go?
Spring through autumn normally offers the widest choice of routes. Winter departures are possible only when access and weather allow, and the programme may be adapted.
