Albanische Abenteuer-Tagestour von Korfu aus

Albania day trip itself was really enjoyable with knowledgeable tour guides. The booking system appeared to be seamless at first but we did not receive any updates re check in time or instructions. I contacted Viator X2 via their recommended app with no response. We took an educated guess for check in time. When we arrived our booking was not on the system. A tour guide contacted the company after processing everyone else to find out our booking was there but was not on the official paperwork. Viator please make it easier for your customers to receive a response when they contact you especially if like us they have had no updates with instructions on meeting place/time etc.. Once there after the initial stress we enjoyed the day.

I found this trip exhausting. Herded from place to place with little information or passenger care . Not a trip to take if you want a relaxed day . Albania I was impressed with as a country , the way they have built up the country , catered for tourists to make a pleasant experience while keeping the natural beauty is wonderful Maybe it was just me as I was starting to feel unwell with health issues but I found all the rushing , and unclear information a bit too much and others I met felt the same . Language communications at ports didn’t help

Communication regarding our pick up location was out of date ( The Saxophone pub was no longer and the building was being renovated.m, thankfully they had sent a link which provided a map Early morning pick up at 6.45 am Corfu time didn’t get back to hotel until 7.30 pm Enjoyable day nice trip on the ferry across and back pleasant with the breeze during the crossing it was very hot at Butrint despite the shade . Guide very knowledgable and the site very interesting. Food in the restaurant was fine chicken was the only inedible thing . The salad was lovely . A lot of time lost in traffic getting to and from the site which limited our time in Sarande to approx 50 mins. Managed a quick dip in the sea absolutely necessary and a quick scout along the tourist shops along the seafront before rush back to the boat. Would have liked more time in Sarande . Exhausting day but worthwhile !

An amazing adventure from beginning to end! Our travel guide took excellent care of us throughout the trip and was incredibly knowledgeable, providing plenty of interesting information about every place we visited. Albania is a beautiful country, and the lunch buffet featuring traditional Albanian cuisine was absolutely amazing. Everything was well organised, and the food was delicious. A truly memorable experience – highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was too hot. It was a mistake to book via Viator. We were treated as if a crime had been commit committed and we should have booked with the operator directly.

This was a good value trip with very knowledgeable and helpful staff. I would absolutely recommend it. Lunch was also very good. Worth noting the boat to Albania has no facilities for purchasing tea / coffee so would suggest buying before. Once you arrive in Albania you go straight on the tour and so again no opportunity for a coffee. Passport control at port is as you would expect the same everywhere so just need to get on with it. Overall a great day and Albania was v.beautiful. I would suggest doing it with the tour option to get the most of the trip.

Booked an excursion through Viator, but when we arrived at the meeting point at Corfu Port, we were told there were no excursions that day. We tried to contact the operator, Travelco, but the number given on the booking confirmation was no longer in use. A helpful representative from Finikas Lines helped us by finding an alternative number. Travelco told us they had informed Viator not to book any excursions for that day, but they hadn't followed the instruction. We were very upset, as we had planned our whole holiday around that trip and we we're not able to travel on an alternative date. We are angry with Viator for causing the mess in the first place, but also with Travelco for the stress caused in not being able to contact them! We had supplied telephone and email contact details when we booked, so someone should have contacted us ahead of time to let us know of the mistake. Then we wouldn't have driven over an hour to get to the meeting point. It was a very stressful experience and I'll never use Viator again as they can't be trusted.

Travel time to and from Albania (hotel transfer and boat) is quite extensive, 6 hrs total including immigration process. More time in Albania at Butrint and Sarande would have made this a 5 star. It was very well organized given all the logistics and the tour in Butrint was wonderful.

The tour in all was okay. Butrint National Park was nice but I would make it shorter. The guy was talking for ages and said he could talk for another two hours. We got less time in Sarande. I would not eat at that restaurant next to the Butrint National Park. The food was awful. I would recommend driving back to Sarande and giving people the option to eat on the Promenade and to have more time to chill and explore Sarande. All in all it was okay and nice to visit Albania. It seems more developed than Corfu. Finally, I would like to add a message to the tour guide. Thank you for leaving me and another lady behind. You had told us to meet at the promenade point at 2.50pm. We had got there 2.47pm and you had gone. That was an absolutely nasty thing to do! Then you lied to us and told us that you were there until 2.50pm. Absolute rubbish. We had to make our own way back to the port and to the boat! Not nice!

The journey itself was normal, ferry transfer to Albania. Hard to find in Corfu Harbour, little information. We have to request outside the entrance a boarding pass but we were not explained before. Still, I highly recommend it. Albania is more receptive to tourists, very friendly people where the viuda is cheaper. We can pay in euros and they give us the exchange in Leks, without having to change before. Restaurant with entrance and seafood dishes for two people around 20 euros. Shame I only stayed for a day
