Skip the Tip Jar. Explore Albania on Your Own Terms.

You have probably seen the free walking tours in Tirana or Berat. They are free — until the end, when a hat goes around and you feel the pressure to tip. What if you could skip all that and still get a rich, detailed, historically accurate audio experience of Albania?

That is what AlbaTour is. No group. No schedule. No guide waiting for a donation. Just you, your phone, and the stories of one of Europe's most fascinating countries — told at your pace, on your terms.

Why Self-Guided Beats Free Tours

• No fixed schedule. Start when you wake up. Pause for coffee. Resume after lunch. The tour waits for you.
• No group pace. Spend as long as you want at any spot. No one is rushing you to the next stop.
• No tip pressure. During launch, AlbaTour is genuinely free. No donation box, no awkward moment at the end.
• No waiting. Open the app and go. No meeting points, no late arrivals, no stragglers.
• Works offline. The audio plays without a signal — perfect for old towns and mountain villages with patchy coverage.

What Is Included Right Now

During the launch period, you get full access to everything AlbaTour has built so far:

• 🏛️ Tirana — Communist history, Ottoman bazaars, and modern street art
• 🏰 Berat — The UNESCO City of a Thousand Windows
• 🏯 Gjirokastër — A hilltop Ottoman town frozen in time
• 🌊 Sarandë — Riviera beaches and the ancient ruins of Butrint
• 🏔️ Albanian Alps — Theth, Valbona, and Europe's last truly wild mountains
• And 38 more destinations, 300+ individual sites, 10 walking tours

New destinations and audio tours are being added regularly throughout the launch period.

Built for Independent Travellers

AlbaTour was made for the kind of traveller who does not want to be herded around. You have done your research, you know what you want to see, and you want the freedom to explore on your own terms. The audio gives you the context — the history, the stories, the local details — without taking control of your day.

Whether you have an afternoon in Tirana or a full week in the south, AlbaTour fits around your time, not the other way around.
