Effective Date: August 13, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Albania Visit Tours! By using our website, you agree to these fair and simple terms. We've made them as straightforward as possible. If something isn't clear, just ask us.

2. Service Description

We help you discover authentic Albanian adventures by connecting you with trusted local tour operators. Think of us as your knowledgeable friend who knows the best local guides and hidden gems. We're not the tour operator - we're your bridge to authentic experiences.

3. Partner Relationships

We maintain affiliate partnerships with tour operators, primarily BNAdventure.com. When you book a tour through links on our website, you are entering into a direct relationship with the tour operator, not with Albania Visit Tours. Each operator has their own terms, conditions, and policies that govern your booking.

4. Use of Website

You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • Use the website in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations

6. CRITICAL DISCLAIMER - WE ARE NOT A TOUR OPERATOR

ALBANIA VISIT TOURS IS NOT A TOUR OPERATOR. WE DO NOT PROVIDE, OPERATE, OR CONTROL ANY TOURS OR TRAVEL SERVICES.

Albania Visit Tours ("AlbaniaVisit.com", "we", "us", or "our") operates solely as an informational resource and referral service. We provide information about tours and facilitate connections between users and independent third-party tour operators, primarily BNAdventure.com. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for any tour services, activities, or experiences.

When you click any booking link or "Check Availability" button on our website, you are leaving AlbaniaVisit.com and entering into a direct contractual relationship with the independent tour operator. Albania Visit Tours is not a party to any transaction between you and the tour operator.
