Great tour

5.00Was a well organised trip. The bus was on time, and we had a great tour guide who gave us a nice history/info about albania and the area we were going to see on the bus. When we arrived we were able to walk (scooter or car train) to the blue eye which took around 15-20 mins up and down little hills on concrete. When we arrived there was plenty of time for photos, walking and exploring.
Family Trip!

4.00This is a great tour and definitely worth the money, but a few critical things to keep in mind. First of all, bring cash!! We stopped here on a cruise and didn’t have any problem using credit cards for everything at other stops, but no one in Albania takes credit cards and the ATMs have a high fee. Secondly, as other reviews have stated, you CANNOT swim in blue eye. I should have read more of the comments to see, but I saw the pictures on the description of people literally backflipping into water and assumed it was for this tour and not some random stock photo. Never assume, I guess. When I told the guide that the tour description said swimming, he seemed really confused and skeptical. Every single person on my tour was in a swimsuit so I guess we were all misled. That said, the blue eye is beautiful, the guide was very nice, and it’s a great tour, just keep all this in mind.
Highly recommend

5.00Great experience! Perfect length with a very knowledgeable guide - Ani Pick up points from 2 locations, a short drive with history of Albania. Once we arrived we were brought to the front of the line and straight in with enough time to explore/swim!
Blue eye is beautiful - the tour not well organised

3.00They were 1.5 hours late - blamed it on Saranda Traffic. The traffic was pretty bad, but this has to be expected. I was waiting in the sun. A girl from my hostel had a similar experience. The blue eye is truly beautiful, but a lot of tourist. Most of the info I learned I didn't learn from the guide but info posters. So honestly I would just do it without a tour next time. It is super safe. The girl told me that it isn't safe to hike, but there are posters, that tell you the exact route of 2 hiking trails...
Not bad

3.00I preferred to not book this activity. If you have a car you could go their I think They forced you to go to two locations. If you have a car you shall suffer to park your car on those locations
