5.00We booked this one evening to go the day after and recieved an instant Whatsapp confirming everything, was very impressed with communication. Our tour guide was Erald, i have done many tours and they always are better with a friendly guide, Erald was great, personable and we felt very relaxed as he was very responsible. We visited Lekursi castle, the Blue Eye and Gjirokaster. and I felt unrushed. Background and facts were given and we could ask questions but it wasn't information overload. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
