See Southern Albania and have Fun !!!!! - The guide Andreas was a five star, very knowledgeable, very good at getting the group to know each other and great fun. The trip takes in the beautiful blue eye, you get time on the beach at Ksamil and the chance to add a boat trip for €10 if you want. The speedboat was great fun, we went round a few islands, then tied up on a sandbank between two islands where we got the chance to swim, the water was beautiful. We went to a castle with an amazing view of the islands and the coast it was breathtaking. Great day, our driver Albani was a good safe driver, he took no risks and kept us safe. Do not hesitate to book, you will meet new friends see some great sights. Thank you Andreas and Albani you are both 5 Stars ***** 👍👍👍👍👍

A beautiful day at the Albanian Riviera - The views were amazing! We experienced so many beautiful things in nature and creation that were so inspiring, Albania is so much to offer, it is such a beautiful country. It was long day, but we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Our tour guide Klodi was exceptional and was very informative of the different locations that we went visited. I would definitely recommend this trip!

Kristi was a godsend. The... - Kristi was a godsend. The tour was worth the time, and the blue eye is particularly special. For the beach it can be quite crowded… consider going to one of the private beach clubs Nextdoor…. Just don’t get left behind!

Fantastic, well organised tour- but a very long day! - The tour was brilliant- Beni is kind, funny and knowledgable and the whole tour was a lot of fun! We had enough time at all the stops, and it was a great way to see the highlights of southern Albania… However- the Viator info is wrong. The day starts around 5:30 am, and you don’t get back till almost 11:30pm. This is mostly due to the time it takes to drive that far south. You get a couple of hours in ksamil, which is the longest stop. The tour also does not go to the castle mentioned in the tour- there’s no time, and it’s not in the itinerary. That said, it was a great tour, with lots of rest stops, and beautiful scenery. I’d recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind a lot of travel and a very long day! Just be aware that the Viator info is not correct!

A must place to visit - I had a fantastic time on this trip! The activity was well-organized, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The views along the way were absolutely breathtaking and added so much to the experience. It was a great way to explore the area and make unforgettable memories. Highly recommended!

Beautiful day in nature.... - Beautiful day in nature. Ours ended up being a private tour. Our guide was flexible and made sure we saw everything we were interested in on the tour. FYI the day was somewhat cloudy but the photos still turned out great and the beauty wasn’t marred by the weather.

Day Trip - Tour guide was kind, helpful, and informative of Albania and its history. The experience was beautiful.

Good trip - It’s a very long way to go from Tirana but it’s worth it. Blue eye is a great place to visit, Ksamil beach is another attraction.

Scam! - Scam! Never picked-up at Tirana Square Hotel, waited for an hour. However, they said the guide had waited for me for 15 min at hotel. Suggested to reschedule for next day, and meet-up time was sent after midnight. No pick-up and no correspondence when claimed refund. Avoid.

DONT BOOK AT ALL COST! Waste of your time - PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS AT ALL COST! The listing says Ksamil beach 5 hours, Blue eye 3 hours, and castle 1 hour. In reality we were in blue eye for 25 min, then 15 min at the castle, and 1 hour and 50 min at the beach. In the 1 hour 50 min at the beach you have to factor in an hour at least for lunch that we did not have until 3 pm (when we had been up since 5:30am for our 6:30am pickup). First, the driver and tour guide Anila came 40 min late. We woke up at 5:30 am and they meant to show up at 6:30 am. Ended up coming 40 min late at 7:10 am. It took 6 hours to get to our first destination the blue eye because they were so confused about the pick up of other customers. Second, We got to the blue eye and we were told to take the train as it is quicker than walking to it. It actually took less time walking up there and down than waiting for the train and the views are much better. Please don’t listen to the tour guide advice as we ended up having to wait in the sun for an extra 15 mins for everyone to come back by train). Third, the tour guide was not friendly. She was super disorganised and forgot to tell us what time to come back to the bus so the whole group had to wait 20 min at the blue eye ina boiling hot bus for a couple to come back from the blue eye to the parking. They were not told a time to come back. Fourth, the driver was experienced but he was very distracted all the time talking to the tour guide instead of focusing on the drive. He almost dropped two people in the wrong area and thankfully they insisted not to leave the bus as they didn’t recognize the place. Their hotel was 4 hours walk from that random dropoff point that he was going to leave them there. This was at 10pm in a dark alley and they were 2 women. Fifth, Ksamil beach has only a very tiny area of public beach. The rest is private and overrated. The fish however was so good. We asked the tour guide for restaurant recommendations and she said all of them are good! Very unhelpful. She also never told us any history about the places we went to and she did not seem interested in helping. But I would advise you to walk to the center and have some of the best fish dishes in Fteleia restaurant. In total, we were in the bus for 12 hours but only for 3 hours excursion. Not worth the money and definitely a waste of day!
