Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
2+ million travelers like you. Moments they'll never forget.
So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
Kruje is a hilltop town built on a mountainside, so its old bazaar and the path up to the castle are steep, cobbled and uneven, which is challenging for strollers and wheelchairs. The main sights are close together and best explored on foot with comfortable, sturdy shoes. Taking your time on the inclines makes the climb to the castle's views more enjoyable.
Albania is a welcoming, generally safe country, and Kruje is a friendly town popular with day visitors. Crime against travelers is uncommon, though normal precautions apply, like keeping an eye on valuables in the busy bazaar. The cobbled streets can be slippery, so watch your footing. Visitors often comment on how warm and hospitable Albanians are toward guests.
Tipping is appreciated in Albania but not obligatory. In restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving around 10 percent for good service is a kind gesture and increasingly common. Small tips for guides and drivers are welcome too. Since cash is king here, keeping some small lek notes on hand makes it easy to tip as you explore Kruje.
The star attraction is Kruje Castle, with its panoramic views and the Skanderbeg Museum dedicated to Albania's national hero. Within the castle grounds, the Ethnographic Museum offers a look at traditional Albanian life. Stroll the centuries-old Old Bazaar for handmade carpets, crafts and antiques, and venture out to the Sari Salltik cave or the surrounding mountains for nature and hiking.
Albania uses the Albanian lek (ALL). Cash is widely used, especially in a smaller town like Kruje, where the old bazaar stalls and many local spots prefer it. Some hotels and larger restaurants accept cards, and euros are sometimes taken, but at poor rates. It is best to carry lek, and ATMs are available in town and in nearby Tirana.
The official language is Albanian. In Kruje and across the country, you will find English spoken by many younger people and those working in tourism, while Italian is also fairly widely understood. Learning a few Albanian words is warmly appreciated, and locals are generally friendly and happy to help visitors.
Albanian cuisine blends Balkan and Mediterranean flavors. Try tave kosi, a baked lamb and yogurt dish often called the national dish, and byrek, a flaky savory pastry filled with cheese or meat. Grilled meats, fresh vegetables, olives and local cheeses are staples. Save room for baklava or a creamy local ice cream, and sip a strong Turkish-style coffee.
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit Kruje, offering mild, pleasant weather and clear views from the castle across the valley toward the Adriatic. Summers are warm and lively but can be hot for climbing the steep streets, while winters are cooler and quieter. Visiting on a weekday morning helps you enjoy the bazaar before the tour buses arrive.
