  • A Wonderful Day

    I came down to Sarandë for a couple of days from Tirana and wanted to explore. We were very lucky with the weather - beautiful sunshine. It was fantastic to visit the beautiful sites without the thongs of tourists that will descend in peak season. It was also great as there were only myself and one other guest, so it was a good price for what turned out to be almost a private tour. I would definitely recommend it even in higher season.

  • Disappointing day.

    With a good guide this could have been a nice day. Our guide spoke excellent English, but that’s where it ended. She was a poor communicator and caused our group of 20 to spend the day confused and ill informed. This tour was certainly not what we’ve come to expect from Viator over the many years we have used them.

  • So glad we picked this excursion

    We really enjoyed the day - and being a group of about 15 gave our guide the ability to modify our schedule as needed (some wanted lunch, others were worried about time). Mara (I think) was great. I would have loved more time in Butrint but people were nervous about getting back to the on time - turns out we had more than enough. They even dropped us off at a drug store where I could find the makeup I forgot to pack !

  • Great tour and great service

    This is a great day tour from the ship. Great communication met us right outside the cruise drop off with a sign holding my name. It was small group of 6 people and we went at our own pace. The tour guide I think her name was Casey was absolutely awesome and explained each area and answered all questions. I didn’t realize how beautiful Albania is. The drive got us to our locations safe. I would do this tour again if, not if when I come back.

  • Amazing tour with the best guide

    A slow start with trouble confirming pick up over multiple calls and texts however from pickup went very smooth. Elvis is a great guide - the view points and visit to blue eye a must! Loved the view from Lekursi castle too. Tip: Bring food for the trip as lunch wasnt until after 4pm that day.

  • Terrible driving, bad tour

    The locations themselves are lovely but the scheduling and pacing of the tour were terrible. If you just want to get to the location and see them, fine, but be prepared for the driving. I am aware that driving in Albania can be somewhat lawless, but this was beyond belief. The driver was doing 80km/hr in a 30 zone and 120km/hr in a 60 zone, constantly. He overtook a trail of 6 people while on a blind bend. There were multiple extremely dangerous overtakes and when there were no cars in front, the driver would drive firmly in the middle of the road. All of this extremely dangerous driving just to arrive before the rest of the tour and have us stand and wait for the guide to arrive. Due to the limited time in each place, you had the choice of either going to see the attraction or get food at each place. We had to request a pit stop and we got a 5 minute stop at a bakery in Ksamil, where again, we were rushed by the driver only to end up waiting at the location on arrival for the rest of the group. Overall, a very uncomfortable experience and extremely expensive for what it is even if you ignore the horrendous driving

    When you get to the starting point of the blue eye unless your ok to walk 2km in 34 degrees they offer u a train at 6euro each ,, absolutely shocking company to deal with I booked a private tour ended up on a bus with 16 other people had to get off the bus due to the poor air con only seen two places ,, I got the ferry over from Corfu wasted tickets on this plus wasted a day the maddening thing about it they knew full well what was ahead of me .they could have easily have told me before I left the port if Corfu as they were in touch re the pick up point,, they now offered me a partial refund which won’t be accepted it’s not about the money it’s the complete incompetence and unprofessional standard s avoid this company

  • Lovely day in Albania

    Emil B,Jun 30, 2025

    The tour had a rough start since we went to the address mentioned on Viator (Rruga Mitat Hoxha 152) and there was nothing there. Fortunately, the travel company called us on WhatsApp and picked us up (their office was at another number on the same street). We got a private tour, which we didn't expect based on previous reviews. We had a lovely day with our driver and guide, Mara. We could decide on the order and time spent at each location. She gave us alternatives and suggestions. Mara could answer questions related to all the attractions and about the country. She particularly gave us a guided tour of Butrint. We are very satisfied with our booking of this tour. The company did its best to give us a great experience.
