About us

Embarking on a journey sparked by youthful enthusiasm, the Braho brothers transformed a simple badge into the iconic “Isuf Braho Tour Guide,” marking the inception of Vato Tours. Over 8 years of immersive experiences have sculpted us into expert tour operators, offering captivating explorations throughout Albania. With meticulous coordination of accommodations and attractions, Vato Tours ensures every adventure is not just a trip but an unforgettable odyssey.

Our History

Embarking on this journey was not always a smooth ride, but it has been nothing short of thrilling! In 2013, the Braho brothers, Isuf and Alket, initiated Berat City Tours armed only with a badge and a vision. Residing in a historically rich area, they began offering free tours, providing guests with a unique perspective from two local teenagers.

Immersing themselves in the diverse cultures and languages of their guests became a source of enjoyment. One day, Alket took a trip to an internet café and printed a badge for Isuf, marking the inception of our history with the Blue Badge proudly displaying “Isuf Braho Tour Guide.”

Today, we proudly stand as Vato Tours, offering an array of tours ranging from single-day explorations to extended journeys through some of Albania’s most remote and captivating regions. With over 8 years of touring experience, we have honed our knowledge to ensure exciting, comfortable, and safe adventures throughout Berat and across Albania.

Our commitment extends beyond just tours; we meticulously coordinate accommodations, attractions, and meals directly. The team takes full responsibility for every aspect of our guests’ touring experience, ensuring a seamless and memorable adventure with Vato Tours.
