I have a Masters in Industrial Engineering but what I am truly passionate about is traveling. Creating tailor made itineraries for Croatia and the Balkans is what I love doing. Before that, I’ve been working as a boat skipper and a private driver / tour guide for 5 years - so you know you're in best hands, with someone who knows the products in and out.
My travel goal: find the perfect balance between your wishes and the offers here in the Balkans. Let me make your perfect trip come true.

“We began planning our trip to Croatia 8 months in advance. We were fortunate to have Mario assigned as our in country agent. In those 8 months Mario gave us feedback on all of our ideas on where in the country to travel and what would be the best use of our 12 days. He recommended hotels, restaurants & tours. Then we were able to look over the recommendations and get back to him with detailed questions. He was diligent in his replies. Then to arrive in country and have the most wonderful driver, Tino, who spent days with us filled with knowledge and wonderful hospitality. Next came the exceptional tour guides full of historic knowledge and enthusiasm for their profession. We returned home knowing we want to return to Croatia one day! The 4 couples traveling together all expressed that this was a 5star experience thanks to Mario and his team.”

“Our trip to Croatia was splendid. Each day was different and thoughtfully planned. We enjoyed varied experiences and the local guides and drivers selected by Mario were especially suited to our expectations. Planning the trip with Mario was a pleasure- he was attentive to my questions and gave thoughtful answers to my concerns. He completely understood the type of trip I was envisioning, and went above and beyond. I can’t imagine a better guide. All the people in my group of seven raved!”

“We had a great trip to Amsterdam, Berlin, and Prague. Everything worked as planned and was very smooth. The accommodations were all quite nice, the transfers and rides were smooth and flawless, the various guides were quite good, and the communication was excellent all the way around. Any needed adjustments were worked quickly and efficiently. Great job!”
I was born and raised in Tirana, where I grew up surrounded by stories, traditions and the lively rhythm of the city. I have always loved meeting new people and discovering how travel connects us, no matter where we come from. For four years I worked as a guide across Albania, sharing hidden corners, history and culture with travelers. Those experiences taught me not only about my country, but also about what visitors truly look for: authenticity, warmth and memorable moments. Today I create tailor-made trips for those who want to explore Albania and the Balkans in a personal, genuine way.

I’m Violaine, and I grew up in France, where I studied tourism and developed a deep curiosity for cultures and people. Travel has always been part of my life, not just as a way to see places, but as a way to connect.
Today I'm designing tailor-made journeys across the Balkans, including Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, and Bulgaria. I’m especially passionate about this region for its warmth, cultural diversity, and the feeling of discovering places still untouched by mass tourism.
My goal is to create trips that feel authentic, human, and meaningful, rooted in local encounters and a true sense of place.

“The Insight Guides is an excellent resource for trip planning! We used them to refer us to an agency in Vietnam that helped us with logistics through Vietnam and Cambodia. As that was a successful endeavor, we again reached out to Insight Guides to help us plan our trip to Balkans countries, and the on-the-ground logistics were handled expertly. We could not rate Insight Guides more highly.”
I’m Alan, a travel specialist with a secondary degree in Tourism from Nantes and several years of experience in the industry. I co-founded Breathe in Travel with Quentin after we fell in love with the Balkans during a trip in 2014. Since 2017, I’ve been based in Pristina, creating tailor-made journeys that reflect my passion for discovery and authentic encounters. With a strong knowledge of the region and a genuine enthusiasm, I strive to design immersive and unforgettable experiences, always adapted to each traveler’s expectations.

12/06/2026“We had a really good trip throughout almost all of Albania - plus Kotor and Budva in Montenegro. However, we probably should have added a few more days as moving hotels most mornings was a bit of a pain. Also, quite a lot of time in the car, which I guess was inevitable if we wanted to see everything in 12 days. Time in the car was made fun by our amazing driver, Randi (Marindo). He was so knowledgeable, relaxed and funny. Think it's fair to say that by the end of the trip he had become a lifetime friend. Albania itself is a beautiful country with an amazing coastline and friendly people. Prices are great. Good meal with very nice wine about £40 in most places. Montenegro more expensive (UK prices in the resorts) but also beautiful. A highly memorable trip.”

FAQs About Our Local Travel Agents in Albania
Why is local expertise important when planning a trip to Albania?−
Albania combines mountain villages, historic towns and coastal regions that look close on a map but often require slow road travel. Public transportation is useful for simple routes but less predictable for a private multi-stop trip. A local expert can build a practical north-to-south itinerary, select reliable drivers and locally run stays, and adjust mountain or coastal plans around seasonal access.
