About Adriatik Tours

Native Albanians who know every road in the Balkans

For more than 20 years we've designed and operated ground programs across Albania and the wider Balkans — as a destination management company and incoming tour operator built for the travel trade.

01 Who we are

A local DMC, owned and run by Albanians

Adriatik Tours LLC is a destination management company and incoming tour operator for Albania and the wider Balkans, with offices in both Albania and North America. Founded in 2004, we are native Albanians with more than two decades of experience designing and operating ground programs across the region.

We work as the in-country arm for travel agencies, tour operators and corporate planners — handling logistics, licensed guides, transport and accommodation so you can sell the destination with confidence. From tailor-made FIT itineraries to large group movements, MICE and special-interest tours, we deliver a dependable, fully licensed ground operation.

Because we live here, we don't broker the destination — we run it. That means firsthand local knowledge, direct supplier relationships and a team that answers fast, in your language and ours.

02 What we do

One ground partner for every kind of program

From a two-person honeymoon to a multi-country group tour, we plan, license and operate it end to end.

Custom tours & FIT

Tailor-made itineraries for groups and individuals, built around your clients' interests, pace and budget.

Cultural & historical

UNESCO cities, castles and archaeology — Berat, Gjirokastra, Apollonia, Butrint, Kruja and beyond.

Food & wine

Tastings of fresh organic produce, homemade specialties and Albanian vineyards, north to south.

Pilgrimage & religious

Holy sites across a country where Catholics, Orthodox and Muslims have coexisted for generations.

MICE, groups & events

Conferences, incentives and company retreats — including weddings and celebrations at our own hotel.

Honeymoons & holidays

Beachfront stays, romantic escapes and full vacation packages along the Adriatic and Ionian coasts.

Multi-country Balkans

Four-country coastline tours linking Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece in a single trip.

Transfers & car rental

Airport transfers from Tirana and a fleet of luxury minivans, plus car rental for independent travel.

03 Where we operate

Albania at heart, the whole Balkans in reach

Albania is our home and our specialty, but our programs reach across six countries — Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Croatia and Northern Greece — under a single, accountable ground operation.

Signature destinations our partners' clients love include Tirana, Durrës, Berat, Shkodra, Kruja, Gjirokastra and the ancient sites of Apollonia and Butrint — woven together with coastline, mountains, food and living history.

04 Infrastructure we own

Our own 5-star hotel & fleet

Unlike brokers, we own and operate the 5-star beachfront Adriatik Hotel in Durrës — a historic property built in 1957 to host heads of state and diplomats, and fully renovated in 2017. It has the largest outdoor pool on the Albanian coast, the Queen Teuta Spa and full conference and event facilities.

Add a fleet of luxury minivans and an office right in the hotel lobby, and your clients travel on infrastructure we control — which means rate stability, consistency and accountability from arrival to departure.
