This tour was amazing!!! I love that it was a smaller group and more intimate compared to the larger more crowded tours. The guides were prompt and fun. Very friendly family owned business. They gave great recommendations for site seeing and food, my mother and I enjoyed thoroughly!
Excellent trip Erald was very informative , knew the history And was very attentive to our needs. He took us to a very authentic restaurant that was delicious. I will definitely recommend him.
Thank you so much for your rating,we are really happy that you enjoyed this tour.
We booked this one evening to go the day after and recieved an instant Whatsapp confirming everything, was very impressed with communication. Our tour guide was Erald, i have done many tours and they always are better with a friendly guide, Erald was great, personable and we felt very relaxed as he was very responsible. We visited Lekursi castle, the Blue Eye and Gjirokaster. and I felt unrushed. Background and facts were given and we could ask questions but it wasn't information overload. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
