From two passionate pioneers to love sharers for many!
We are Up Albania, where our love for exploration meets a commitment to doing things differently. Our story began with us, two friends who, driven by a passion for discovery, extensively explored Albania—venturing into villages and cities, meeting people, and immersing ourselves in the diverse communities that make up our country, uncovering hidden attractions and histories treasured among these communities.
In our quest for understanding, we not only explored the beauty of our nation but also became deeply interested in sustainable tourism. Intrigued by the potential to harmonize exploration with positive impacts, we dedicated ourselves to becoming experts. For over seven years, we worked tirelessly in sustainable tourism development in different regions of Albania. This has positioned us to take the next step in tour operating, and our commitment is to share what we’ve experienced with educated and responsible travelers and partners.
Our journey was not just about discovering the landscapes; it was about connecting with the heart and soul of Albania. Along the way, we delved into the richness of Albanian culture, discovering fascinating traditions and stories that were even new to us as Albanians. We learned from the locals, gaining insights into their way of life and the unique customs that define each community. This wealth of experiences became the foundation for Up Albania, our way of sharing the authentic and often undiscovered sides of our country with you.
Our Mission
“Happy Travelers, Happy Locals, not just a motto. Explore Responsibly!”
Up Albania was born from the belief that tourism should be more than just navigating crowded beaches during peak seasons. At Up Albania, our mission is simple yet profound: to promote sustainable, responsible tourism that creates a harmonious connection between our visitors, our local partners, and our stunning Albanian landscapes. We believe in the power of travel to inspire positive change. Our tours are designed to provide enriching experiences for our travellers while simultaneously benefiting the communities and environments we touch.
There’s so much to share!
