Enjoy a relaxed and flexible private day trip from Tirana to Shkodër with your personal guide, Eden (Martin) from Albania by Eden.
Unlike rigid group tours, this experience is tailored to your pace. Eden will pick you up from your hotel or Tirana Airport in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and drive you to the historic city of Shkodër.
The highlight is the magnificent Rozafa Castle, dramatically perched on a hilltop. Here you can take your time exploring the ancient fortress, walking along the walls, and soaking in the breathtaking panoramic views over Lake Skadar and the snow-capped Albanian Alps.
Eden will share fascinating stories about the castle’s legends and Albania’s rich history, or simply let you enjoy the scenery in peace. You’re free to linger at the castle or make optional short stops in Shkodër’s old town or nearby sites.
