What Our Customers Say
Hear from our satisfied customers who have experienced the quality and value of our products and services.
I had to go for a business trip to Albania and wanted to combine it with a two days birdwatching tour. I found AOS on the internet searching for guided birding tours in Albania.
Everything met my expectations.

Erald is a phenomenal guide, we felt very comfortable and above all we were able to take very good photos in places we would never have found on our own. In addition to flamingos, cuckoos, hoopoe, etc., we were also able to observe various eagles (migration time), owls and stone owls and take pictures in very good quality. Through the tour with Erald we were able to learn a lot about nature, the existing problems (coastal development, destruction of near-natural habitats, etc.), but also about life in Albania itself.

Fantastic 2 days birding with Kladji & Kato. Wonderful to see Black Headed Bunting & Dalmatian Pelican at Divake, Karavasta along with more usual birds. Kladji was also able to get us onto Roller (a much wanted lifer) & Turtle Dove before returning to Tirana on day 1. Day 2 took us to Natre and Calandra Lark, Golden Oriole and Great Spotted Cuckoo (38 years after my last sighting). An Ice Cream on the way back to Tirana made for a great end to the trip..
