4.00The wonderful place with a really beautiful view, but above all the guided tours were very interesting.
Better get away from these people.

1.00They're very unprofessional. We meet at 10, we arrive at 9:55 and because the captain has decided to leave earlier, we are grounded. I would never repeat
Knowledgeable guide and wonderful experience

5.00Leo was extremely knowledgeable and patiently answered all our questions. He helped to bring the history and background of the area to life. He was punctual and flexible for how we wanted to spend our time. He introduced us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch with an incredible view and fabulous food!
Irena is the most wonderful guide and Butrint a must see

5.00My mom and I booked a private tour, that way we got to decide how long to stay where, when to stop in between etc. Our guide Irena was the most wonderful guide you could ever hope for. Our driver added great information in Albanian which Irena translated for us. Butrint is a very unique experience I would recommend for anyone, the blue eye has many tourists but kind of feels like a must see of the area and the castle has a spectacular view! Best day of our trip, thank you!!!
Lovely place!

Excellent Tour Guide - Linda Haska

5.00Truly, an amazing tour with Linda! We highly recommend her as a guide in the Balkans. She is local and has a beautiful depth of history of the area she shares. We found her knowledgeable of the areas we went to and she provided local stories and insight beyond what was written plaques in the museums and online. Absolutely a must tour to go and choose Linda when you visit the Balkans.
A fantastic place

5.00Very nice place. Really, of course. WHAT FEELS THERE IS sECURITY PREVENTING THE DIRTY TURIST FROM JUMPING IN THE CLEAN BLUNCH: Cornered lute with no respect. It's like a man going to a museum and touching everything.

4.00To visit it you don't pay anything except a couple of euros to pass by car. In the middle of nature beautiful place but not at all cared for, icy and pure water. Visit time max 1 hour if you do not stop to eat where nice places directly on the water make delicious pork at affordable Albanian prices.
