Extremely well organised and great value. We were travelling with two young children a 4 and 2 year old and Ori in particular was absolutely amazing with them. The girls absolutely loved her and can’t stop talking about her. Falemenderit Ori

The tour was very nice and was a lot of fun for us. Everything was well organized. The bus was comfortable, clean, and air-conditioned, so the ride was very pleasant. Our tour guide was friendly, polite, and gave us interesting information about the places we visited. We found it especially nice that we received free water after visiting the Blue Eye. Overall, we were very satisfied with the service and can definitely recommend this company.
Thank you so much for your rating and warm words. We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed this tour.
The water is too cold (10C°) so you can't sweam, we had a drink by the water. The castle is nice but overcrowded and I made more beautiful photos from the beach I was on everyday. So, the tour for us came down to the one drink by the Blue Eye, being hurded in the crowd and driving around.
Thank you for your feedback. The Blue Eye is a natural spring with a constant water temperature of around 10°C, and this information is shared with all guests before the tour. During the peak summer season, both the Blue Eye and Lekursi Castle are naturally busy due to their popularity. We believe the review reflects personal expectations rather than the quality of the tour itself. We wish you a pleasant stay in Albania.
