Great way to see it all! - Tony was a fantastic guide! He planned our day to try and have us miss the crowds at Butrint. Knowledgeable about the history so we leaned a lot and never felt rushed. He went above and beyond to drop us off at an additional stop so we were able to visit a winery! Thanks Tony!

Great experience! - We had an amazing time on this tour! We were conveniently picked up at our hotel, and enjoyed a really great day of sightseeing. Our guide Tony was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions about the sights or Albania in general. The highlight of the tour is definitely Butrint, but we also really enjoyed seeing the Blue Eye. Highly recommend!

Amazing Tour!! - This was one of the best excursions we’ve ever been on. We covered so much ground in one day… and this tour had everything - stunningly beautiful scenery, the best preserved ancient ruins we’ve ever seen… along with a very kind, friendly, thoroughly knowledgeable archeologist guide. We love history, and Alban seemed to be able to answer any question we could ask. We learned so much, and saw amazing things! We had no idea what a gorgeous country Albania is!
Our deep gratitude to our wonderful guide, Alban! Thank you - we can’t wait to be able to return to Albania to see more of your amazing country :)

Efficient comfortable trip. Would have preferred more input from the guide. - The van was comfortable and pick-up was on time. Our guide, though seemingly very knowledgeable, shared little information about Lekuresi, Blue Eye and Ksamil. It was a pleasure to tour Butrint with him because he was quite informative about the history of the site and the individual components. The trip was overpriced for what it offered.
