Ancient City of Butrint, UNESCOs verdensarvssted - et must

Detailed tour, really interesting, totally reccommend.

In our case, the tour was combined with a larger and longer tour that included the blue eye. The places and guides themselves were great. The logistics however were not good. We were not informed of the combining of tours and it's doubling in length. We booked the shorter tour because we had a 6 year old with us. The van also had 1 less seat available than people do to the combining of the tours. The guides's English was a bit rough but got us from place to place. The ruins are relatively new and the scenary was beautiful. While we only got 20 minutes at the Blue Eye, it was beautiful. I would book it again but not with a kid. Be open to possible changes without being informed. No issues being picked up or getting dropped back at the port.

Very impressive ruins with good signage and a very nice museum at the top of the hill. I would skip a tour (if you have a car to get to site) and visit the museum first and can buy a book on Butrint up by museum and do tour myself (skipping the "Palace" site which is now under water). Negatives were that mosaics are covered with sand (to protect them) so you can't see that and water level is rising in site so harder to imagine exactly what it looked like since some of site is under water. Recommend visiting it! Probably want 2-3 hours to visit.

Guide was knowledgeable but think i could have navigated equally well ourselves because there was good signage. Would have liked a bit more time at museum.

Tony is a knowledgeable guide in this stunning national park. Truly worthwhile and a must see in Sarande.

Perfect way to explore the ruins. Our tour guide was very informative and fun. We walked away learning a tad more about the roman history in the region.

Good communication through WhatsApp. Tour guide picked us up at our hotel. Drove us to the tour destination after picking up the other participants. Stopped and got us all water. Paid the admission fee (tour description said we would have to pay separately). Gave a informative and well paced tour. Would have returned us to our hotel but we requested a different location which the tour guide accomodated. Overall good experience. Only negative was the coffee stop, in that it was a good bit out of the way and not very interesting.

The tour of Butrint was good, the guide gave interesting information about what we were seeing and was mindful of the heat, always taking us to shaded areas when possible. But the booking itself was totally disorganized and poorly communicated to me and to the guide. At 10pm the night before my tour I got a message saying the tour would start an hour later than my 8:30 booking. No explanation or check to see if that worked for me. Luckily it did, so I went at 9:30. However, during the tour it was revealed to me that the group was on a full day tour of several places, when I only booked a “2-3 hour” tour of Butrint alone. As such, I had to go with the group to a second location unplanned, and thankfully the guide agreed to drop me off at my hotel before taking the group to the next 3 stops. Because of this terrible coordination (the guide had no idea I had booked the shorter one stop tour), I ended up being on a 5 hour tour that started an hour late. Just very poor communication and organization on the part of the tour company, but again the guide was very helpful, informative and accommodating. No complaints about him specifically, and Butrint was very interesting.

We had a great visit to Butrint as part of a day trip from Corfu. Very interesting site with Roman ruins and other remains intact. Well explained by tour guide. Site is quite big, but mostly under trees so you can get some cover from sun. Remember to wear good shoes/trainers as some uneven and rocky parts and some steps/steep inclines.

Visiting the Butrint site was wonderful and our guide was knowledgeable, but I woud have liked more time in Butrint to explore. The visit to Butrint was packaged up with some other sites in southern Albania that I wasn't interested in, and this put time pressure on the Butrint component.
