Make sure you take the Butrint option as there is not alot to do in Serene for several hours. Be aware that Butrint will be difficult for those with mobility issues.

Very well organized tour, incl.Butrint, we didnt opt for hotel pickup. Bit more time in Sarande woukd be nicer, but we had to catch boat at certain time. National park Butrint was amazing and guide is very knowledgeable

A very well organised tour, accurate to the description. All the transport links - ferry and coach - worked well. Butrint is a very interesting site and well worth a visit. The guide was superb, sharing lots of interesting information about all aspects of Albania's history up to the present day and with detailed information about the archaeological site. The lunch was also very good.
