Making the Most of Saranda and Beautiful Albania - Our group required assistance with mobility issues, and so we chose to take a private custom tour of Saranda, Albania through Viator that included The Lëkurësi castle, Blue Eye, the Albanian countryside, and a fabulous lunch on the coastal restaurant that has incomparable food and staff. Our guide, Costadina, was a lovely, accomplished young woman who gave us lots of insights into to history and culture that we were looking for on our trip. She and the driver went out of their way to help us with mobility issues and made it possible for us to maximize our time while visiting the most beautiful places we could have asked to see. The lunch was the highlight of the entire day, and Costa helped us navigate every stop to ensure comfort and enjoyment. It was a terrific day!

It was ok - Ok tour. Train wasn’t operating at Blue Eye the walk was uphill and muddy. The castle was good to take pictures but not much remains.

Tour from Saranda - It was a very informative tour with lots of history behind Albania explained. It was a good way to see the main tourist sites in one day, which was perfect for us as we were staying in Saranda for a few days.

Great way to see key sights - Really great trip seeing all the main sights in one go. There is time to enjoy a meal and a swim at the end in Ksamil. Knowledgeable, friendly guide. Would recommend.

Great day out! - Loved the range of places and activities on the day. We misread and believed that private transport meant just our party but it was a lovely group of about 12 of us. The tour guide was great and would adapt the trip as needed. Very informative and lots of information about the locations before the beach. We were unaware we’d have to pay an additional 1000 Lek PP for the national park (it’s very worth it though) and the drop in Ksamil was challenging to get much out of it as it was later in the day and lots of beaches etc were taken. Overall though, a great addition to our trip and we would recommend others go! Thank you :)

Amazing Natural Sites but Tour Needed Organization - The tour company was very responsive, but they were late to pick me up, and then the bus driver didn't know how to properly operate the bus b/c the air conditioning wasn't blowing through the vents in each of the seats (in 100 degree outside temps) for half the tour. The tour guide spoke English well and was very nice and accommodating to everyone, but the tour overall lacked leadership and guidance for such a larger than anticipated group (over 25 ppl). They tour guide was flexible with the delays we encountered and added time to the tour if attendees wanted to adjust, which was nice. The sights each were amazing, but everywhere was super crowded and super hot, not to any fault of the tour company and we got to see a lot in one day, but you def need to plan for a pretty full and packed day.

Pleasant day trip - The tour lasted about 8 hours and was pleasant: the guide, a young girl was very kind and prepared. We were a relatively small group so the move took place in a mini van. Price 50€ per person paid in the office. The entrance fee to Butrint Park was excluded. We would have liked the guide to talk and interact a little more, in any case he answered all questions in a very friendly way and in good English.

Lekuresi, Butrint, Ksamil and Blue Eye Tours - The places are wonderful and worth visiting. The tour operator was nice enough, but not much. The day before he asked me to bring forward the departure time and asked me to go to their agency, despite the possibility 'of being picked up at the meeting point near my apartment (by the way then with the bus we passed close since' the road was the same). The Guide spoke only English and made no effort to help us understand, as we do not understand English very well. In general though the places are wonderful and everything went well. The tour can still be done independently.

Cheaper and better to get a taxi - Very expensive for what it is. Was actually cheaper to get a private taxi so you can see everything at your own pace in a more comfortable vehicle.
