  • Very Disappointed - Mass Chaos at Blue Eye - out of control

    O3644CIcharlied,Apr 16, 2026

    Our tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable . The Blue Eye excursion was absolutely out of control with disorganization for the amount of people that arrived .approximately 200 - 300 people arrived at same time .They have one small train that can fit approximately 40 people . Mass chaos with people pushing / shoving and fighting to get on . 100 % chaos which could have ended badly. We lost a lot of time for the last 2 excursion. One was aborted due to time . Blue eye was beautiful but I would not risk my life again with “ no crowd control “

  • Just beautiful, see attached photos

    Lovely experience seeing the Blue Eye and National Park. Our tour guide was ‘Clyde.’ He is very good at his job and gave an insight into each stop of the tour. It’s a great way to see the highlights of the area.

  • 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

    Cillian C,Sep 13, 2025

    - Review from Viator

    1.00

    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
