about us

Hi! I'm Artem Kiselev, founder of RivieraBus project. By my personal example I can guarantee: once you have started to explore Balkans you can never stop. After I fell in love with Albania my aim was to share my passion with people who probably have never even heard about this country. That’s how I founded Go To Albania agency in 2013 promoting Albania as touristic destination for Russian and EU tourists. During these years we organized different tours for clients from all around the world. Using our accumulated experience about Albania and predicting tourists needs during their travel around the country, we have launched the unique project - TRAVEL BUS FROM TIRANA TO SARANDA JUST FOR 39,9 EUR.

We believe that excellent quality of service with low prices is possible. We are trying to offer you a service that you are used to get in other countries. Our aim is to make your way across Albanian Riviera not just a boring transfer from one city to another, but to organize an enjoyable adventure with all basic facilities on board (free WI-FI, free drinks and information leaflets, stops at picturesque places accompanied by guide).

We are full of energy and ideas to develop and expand touristic services in Albania to let you enjoy new unforgettable adventures and to discover the last secret of Mediterranean...
