Thanks to ervin for his explanations about the country and the sites visited
Elvis provided a fantastic service and looked after us over the course of two days. Saranda/Ksamil was an excellent choice of tour and we had a fabulous relaxing time. We also did a half day tour to Berat which was also spectacular. Elvis had very good local knowledge and was entertaining.
We went as a family of 10 people. Elvis and Bledi looked after us very well on this trip and made excellent arrangements, and provided good local knowledge. Elvis is very fluent in English.
We really enjoyed the trip. The ride is very long, but with Elvis as guide it was still entertaining. He knows a lot about the history and the landscape in Albania. We also loved our stops, especially the beach in Saranda is beautiful. We would always plan a trip with Elvis again.
Elvis is a great guide, very attentive We took several breaks on the road, which made it less tiring He explained a little of the history to us when we passed through a few places I recommend 100% if you want to empty the most bezu of Albania in a few hours
Elvis is fantastic, an exceptional individual, friendly and entertaining. He was an ideal Guide for this incredible adventure. I highly recommend calling on his services, you will not regret it. Thank you, Elvis!
Thanks to Elvis! He was so kind and helpful! I recommend this visit, which was beautiful. The stops were friendly and very beautiful.
The trip was as described and well planned for timing. Leaving early meant we got to the blue eye early, before it got crowded, and with a coffee break before hand. The beach that we were taken to in ksamil was lovely. We had a full 3 hours to relax. The locations of this tour are a must-go; we were so glad we did this and it is worth the price. The guide was excellent, stopped at viewpoints and took good photos for us and went above and beyond to help out. The vehicle was clean.
Excellent communication, great experience. Guide knows places you can't really find on online sites. Beside traveling to known attractions we've also went to some authentic and hidden spots in Durres and Saranda.
Trip was cancelled. It was told that it would not pay off for the company, if the company does the trip. Additionally cancellation was done the evening before
