Albania - The whole experience was top notch and very enjoyable. ( Durrës, blue eye, Saranda and Ksamil). Communication was spot on as I had some issue with my initial pick up location point. Luisa our guide was attentive and very helpful and always in hand to assist the whole group. She made sure everyone was okay and most safe throughout the trip. I would recommend and use again when visiting Albania.

Recommended, great day with Guide Augjello - It was a wonderful very day-filling tour. I was on the road from morning just after 7am until 10pm. Our guide Angjelo had the goal that you can tell more about Albania at the end of the day and he succeeded in that. During the bus ride, he reported entertainingly about his country. He also took good care of the group, sent meeting points via WhatsApp and was understanding when someone was late. Even with minor difficulties (the train to the Blue Eye was broken) he reacted confidently and took it with humor. It was a very eventful day which is highly recommended. Everything organizational worked great. I thank Angjelo for his input and good company. 100% recommended

None - Dependent on how considerate other guests are and how the tour guide manages time, you may find that timings are adversely affected. Our guide was unable to manage this and this meant that some guests were over 40 minutes late returning to the coach which meant that the scheduled 1 hour 15 minutes visit to Saranda was reduced to 20 minutes with no opportunity to explore. Also the visit to the Vjosa River National Park comprised a stop at a roadside cafe overlooking the river from a distance with no time to walk to the river. However, the Blue Eye was a definite highlight.
