4.00September tourism now declining, I enjoyed the food, the coves, the people, most know Italian whether they have relatives or have worked, In the tourist area the streets are beautiful. With two long tunnels positioned, to reach Saranda with villages inside white after the tunnels vil mare is even more beautiful The only thing where the cost was exaggerated was the rent of the car I would not recommend local agencies ... and ... careful driving the Albanians
Great trip and value for money

5.00The boat trip was as advertised and was a great half day. The cave is very picturesque, unfortunately government rules dont allow you to swim in there. We made a couple of stops one at a beautiful island and beach for 30 minutes, and another for approx 2 hours 30 which allowed plenty of time to get lunch at a restaurant / sunbathe / swim in the sea and relax
An experience like no other

5.00Very good roadtrip in a fast boat, music, and water bottle or beer/soda provided. Stop at the beach with quite long restaurant (2h30) so it is to be expected that you will eat here.
Totally did not get what is offered!

1.00The boat trip itself was very nice. We were supposed to go swimming in a cave, but once in the cave it turned out you weren't allowed to swim there. Floated in that cave for 20 minutes. Then sailed to an island, dropped there. The description said to go snorkeling but there were no masks, they were apparently in another boat. With pain and effort they found 1 more child model mask in the boat that did not fit. The part where you were allowed to swim was the size of a paddling pool. Well then 2 hours is a very long time. It doesn't match the description at all. A pirate story would be told but that story is ragged in one sentence.
we take this tour and it was the best thing and the highlight of our vacation we visit very huge and beautiful cave !!!!

5.00Nice, calm and experienced captain, small boats, not too crowded and some Music. The stay on the beach was nice, however you almost have to buy a bed since there is not much place to just place your tower somewhere.
