Totally Different Albania is exactly what the name promises. Every tour I joined was authentic, exciting, and far from your average tourist path. The guides are locals who love their country and it shows in every detail — from the hidden spots they reveal to the care they put into each journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Albania in a deeper, more meaningful way!
