Customer reviews
A really unique experience. Cape of Rodon is wild and untouched, completely different from the usual tourist places. Walking to Rodoni Castle with the sea views was incredible. Our guide explained the history of the bunkers in a very interesting way it made the whole visit much more meaningful.
Beautiful and peaceful place. The combination of nature and history made this tour very special. I loved visiting St. Anthony Church by the sea it felt very calm and authentic. The guide was friendly and gave us enough time to explore and take photos
Mario was an excellent guide very friendly and full of interesting stories about Albania’s history. The walk to Rodoni Castle was beautiful, and the views from the cliffs were incredible. He made the visit to the bunkers much more meaningful by explaining their background. Highly recommended
A very well-organized trip. Mario was professional, funny, and answered all our questions. The bunkers were interesting, but the highlight for me was the coastline and the walk to the castle. Definitely worth doing if you stay in Durrës.
The tour was really interesting, and Mario did a great job guiding us through the bunkers and explaining their history. The cliffs and coastline at Cape of Rodon are breathtaking, and I loved the stop at Church. The only small downside was that the paths were a bit uneven in places, so you need comfortable shoes. Still, a well-organized and unique experience, especially for those interested in history and nature
