Full description
Embark on a cultural and artistic pilgrimage. See master painter Onufri's work in the churches of Berat. Visit Berat Castle, Onufri Museum, Mangalemi and Gorica neighborhoods, and Gorica bridge. Meet your guide at your hotel and start the tour of Berat city. Berat is one of the most visited and characteristic towns in Albania. It is under the protection of UNESCO and considered a World Heritage site due to its unique architecture. Visit Berat Castle and the Onufri Museum. The Berat castle is of particular interest because people still live within its walls in their traditional houses, just like their ancestors did for centuries. Explore this fortress overlooking the town of Berat and its many Byzantine churches. The castle used to have over 40 churches of which 7 still remain today, including the Church of the Dormition of St Mary. The latter was converted into Onufri Museum, honoring the 16th-century Albanian master painter who painted many orthodox churches in Albania and Greece. Witness some of the most beautiful shades of red and gold you have ever laid eyes on in the museum. Then, continue to your next stop in the old quarters of Mangalemi and Gorica that connect with each other by the Gorica Bridge over the Osumi River. On the way back you will visit Belshi, a very small town, with a small lake in front of the buildings.

Had an amazing day in Berat. The day trip suffices a week’s need of history, nature and food in one day. Bledi was an excellent guide. Outgoing, friendly and knowledgeable. I was doubting on whether to go there by public transport or with a guide and I am very happy with the decision to book the tour. Outstanding information in short time. Recommend to everyone!

Very good guide, very good overall experience. The Tour to berat from tirana was well prepered with much additional Information about the albanian history and culture. Bledi (our guide) created a great atmosphere throughout the whole 12h trip. To sum up: Berat 5 Stars, Bledi 5 Stars, whole Trip 5 Stars!

Saimir made this an amazing day. He filled the trip with knowledge and everything we could want as a family. Not only did he share local knowledge and customs, but by the end of the day he was like a family friend. Joking and making my family laugh, and taking special care and consideration for my disabled daughter. I can't recommend Saimir as a guide highly enough.
