Albania is worth a visit!

5.00Butrint is fascinating!! Our guide was friendly and very knowledgable. Blue Eye is more beautiful in person than in the photos. I love combining ancient history and natural beauty. We enjoyed a beautiful spot for a coffee and a brief wade in the Ionian Sea.... stunning!!! Views of the city from Lekursi Castle did not disappoint. Albania was a special stop on our cruise itinerary.
Lovely experience

5.00Knowledgeable and nice guide who piloted us in a good way. The group was small so it was easy to talk to everyone and to ask questions.
Great option to visit Butrint

4.00The tour started a little late, and with inconvenients that were solved. They drop us off at the hotel. Butrint ia a place worth visiting, interesting and the explanations of Tony helped to know more details of the site. The Blue eye is a wonderful place, you have to walk for 20 mins to get to the Eye, or you can take a train (€3 per person, one way) Ksamil is a nice beach where they take you a little time to have something for lunch but in a hurry.
Great experience, the...

5.00Great experience. The places were all beautiful, the guide was very kind and nice. I highly recommend it, especially for those who do not have a vehicle to visit the area, as they come to pick you up directly from your accommodation and accompany you all day until the end of the activities.
Good guided tour

4.00Very good and knowledgeable guide. Butrint well worth and interesting visit. Blue Eye could well be skipped, long walk and not much to see. Missed that there was no time to have lunch anywhere. Information about bringing something to eat would be good.
Butrint is worth it. Skip the rest

2.00This was a disappointment. The tour was changed from 9am to 10am, which in our case was lucky because the ferry from Corfu was running 45 minutes late. Once we got on the bus we spent the next hour crawling through Saranda traffic picking up other passengers. Once we were on the road we heard nothing about the plan for the day. Our guide spoke excellent English and was knowledgeable but not very communicative. There was a stop at a beach hotel near Ksamil where we had a drink, but there was no food service and no stopping in Ksamil. Tony, our guide, never mentioned a lunch stop, even though it was a a full day tour. Butrint was worth the long drive, but, honestly, you don’t need a guide there. There are informative signs everywhere in various languages. You could easily walk around for an hour or two by yourself. Next we headed for the Blue Eye, which is over the mountain from Butrint— another long ride. Once we arrived, we were marched up the road. Turns out there was a train, but you have to pay for it, which several of us would have been happy to do. It was now 3pm. My husband was feeling faint from not eating so I bought him some juice along the 15 minute walk. The Blue Eye is underwhelming, a lovely blue spring. My husband and I bought a ticket to ride the train down to the entrance where there was a restaurant. Our guide told us we had 25 minutes before moving on. Another long drive to the “Castle” which is a scenic overlook. Back to Saranda by 5:45pm. Too much driving around in a bus for too little.
Excellent visti and our guide Toni was very knowledgable

5.00We really had no expectations about this trip but were looking for something cultural and fun. Butrint is really amazing and we were also taken to the Blue Eye Leukersi and a beach in Ksamil where we had lunch
Very unorganized

2.00We were told our excursion started at 8:00 am. Other people were told 10:00 am for the same trip. We left an hour and a half late, 9:30 am. Guides did not give very much information about Albania or our tour during our long bus rides. We got to our second stop, waited 10 minutes, then guides asked if people wanted to use the restroom, waited another 15 minutes. Staff was friendly, sights were interesting but tour very unorganized.
Very worthwhile trip....

4.00Very worthwhile trip. Loved Butrint and guide escorted us to tell us what about we saw. Stunning Ksamil beach stop for lunch before worthwhile visits to Blue Eye and Castle
Great to see everything, but not to learn about Albania

4.00If you are looking to see everything in one day and get great photos, this is the tour for you. If you are looking to learn anything about Albania, don’t do this tour. The description of the tour states “As you explore, your guide provides information on the history and culture of Albania for a well-rounded experience.” The guide does not provide any information nor speaks during the drives to the sites so just know this coming in. There is another guide that gives the tour at Butrint and that is great! Definitely the best part of the day! Lunch is outside Ksamil, at Laguna Beach. It’s ok, but note that you cannot split checks at one table. The blue eye is nice and the Castle has great views!
