Ksamil Beach
Ksamil is one of Albania’s most famous seaside destinations, known for its white beaches and crystal-clear waters. In Ksamil you will have a 1.5 hours free time so you have time to swim, relax on the beach, enjoy food or drinks with a sea view, take photos to the hand of Ksamil or join a boat trip (optional) to visit the nearby islands. Before your free time begins, the tour guide will clearly explain all available options and assist you if needed.

3.00I think there was a cominication problem during the whole trip. There was always many who didn't get the info and kept asking each other or asking the guide again. Also for the lunch time it was unclear if it was lunch time or we will be heading to the bus for me I felt most of the time left out with no info and I kept asking the others or the ones that were near them . the only time that the infos were clear its the ones said in the bus. Also I didn't like that there wasn't a real plan of the trip it was 60% random they asked us if we want to go on a boat tour and because they given us false info it was not a tour they just left us on an island and left for like an hour . It will be great if they could give us a clear plan from the beginning and not just random infos that end up not so accurate . And it will be fantastic if they could gather the people than give the info .
Long day but good experience

5.00I liked the tour, it was interesting. The tour guide himself is really professional, he always checks in and tries to answer all the questions. The pick-up/drop-off was always on time, and the locations are really beautiful and suitable. I would definitely recommend it. The Blue Eye trip was a bit simple, and maybe it would be better to do it in the evening (because it was really hot) + there were a lot of people, but we still enjoyed it. The time given was always the right amount, the minibus is also comfortable with air conditioning, which is good (our guide always made sure it was cold inside the vehicle), and he shared a list of stuff we can try. The chauffeur definitely has good driving experience, everything was comfortable. It's good for couples, families, and solo travelers as well. The price is also low for this tour, and it's definitely worth it. The overall experience is awesome, and I'd definitely recommend it!

1.00I have tried to contact the company but failed . I need to get back the money I paid for the trip. I booked this trip , money paid and went through and taken from my account . My family waited for more than 2 hours to contact me , the receptionist kindly helped me to contact the tour provider but failed , no answer form the contact number provided . How can I get the refund £266.11?? Is there any contact number I can speak to the tour company. UK contact number? We are about to go back to UK.

5.00Got to visit exciting places because of them. It was smooth , safe and hassle free. They allow us with enough time to have a good look around the sites, take pictures, and relax. They are very concerned about their passengers safety.
