Very friendly guide We were at the wrong pick-up point. Restaurant Alpha instead of Alpha. After an app with the organization it was arranged in no time that we were picked up anyway. Compliments!
A rather terrible experience. They arrived to pick us up at the meeting point 40 minutes late, but I can even accept that because, given the traffic there was, it wasn't their fault. The Blue Eye spring is beautiful but it's not worth the money spent at all; a great piece of advice I can give tourists is: if you have a car, go on your own, pay for parking which costs little and also the entrance fee, you spend less and waste less time. The worst part came when we were returning; the shuttle dropped us off almost 2 km away from the point where they had picked us up and, since we had parked at that spot, we had to walk for 40 minutes on uphill roads under the sun in 95-degree heat, just because they wanted to avoid the traffic. I'm not giving less than 1 star only because you can't.
Beautiful location! I especially enjoyed the swimming area. The water everywhere was very clear/blue. The host Arvi was great. Very friendly and helpful!
The support is great, the person explains things very well and knows how to adapt to language difficulties.
First, the tour driver was 20 minutes late with no communication. Then the van, which was described to have air conditioning, did not and the vents were blowing hot air. Then, the driver stopped for gas, which should have been done before the tour. So much time was wasted. The tour guide was good. The Blue Eye was a sight to see.
Stunning place & great guide ❤️ we had a slight delay due to very heavy traffic. Arvi our host had great communication and was extremely apologetic (although not within her control), she even paid for our train to the top of the blue eye as compensation which was very much appreciated. The blue eye itself was truly beautiful. Great day 💙
The woman doing the tour was not very nice and she even left us behind and started to drive off, we had to run to go and catch her. Would not recommend this tour. There wasn’t much information given to us about the actual blue eye, we were left to wander by ourselves.
A really enjoyable afternoon. The Blue Eye spring is amazing and the scenery is stunning. I enjoyed seeing the beautiful blue dragonflies.
We had booked the guided tour with Marsia, she was really nice!! While traveling in the minivan to the spring she explained a lot of things about the Albanian history as well as the nature surrounding the spring. She had informed us on the pick up time being a bit earlier (due to the expected high temperatures the day of the tour) through whatsapp which was really clear and helpful! All throughout the tour she has been super helpful and understanding. The spring itself was beautiful but a bit overcrowded, but nonetheless i would recommend!
We had such a wonderful experience and that is thanks to our amazing tour guide Xhoo ♥️ She was really helpful and kind, ensuring that the day went smoothly and that we could see the best spots as well as helping us take pictures. Blue eye is also incredibly gorgeous and we’re really glad that we got to see it. Overall it was amazing and we really recommend it ♥️
