Saranda: Tour en el sur de Albania (Butrint, Blue Eye, Ksamil)

This tour was the perfect introduction to the stunning natural beauty and rich history of Albania. Our guide, Angelo, was fantastic. He was easy to communicate with beforehand and was waiting for us right at the port when our cruise tender arrived. He was knowledgeable and engaging, making the day truly enjoyable. Butrint was fascinating, set in a gorgeous natural area packed with history. The Blue Eye was breathtaking; we loved the hike up to the spring and relaxing with coffee by the river afterward. The other stops offered incredible views and left us eager to learn more about this wonderful country. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Saranda!

Amazing EXPERIENCE! We booked this tour long time ago. The staff cintacted us few days before the tour started. Our guide Valentina did a great job. She was very knowledgable and careful to make sure the tour was running smoothly. Attractions were amazing and definitely highlights of our day. Highly recommended 10/10

This amazing tour guide, Ari, took me to the most breathtaking spots in Albania, including Lake Bovilla, Kruje, Petrela Castle, and the Albanian Riviera. At Lake Bovilla, Ari provided a comprehensive overview of the history of the region and was able to easily answer my questions. The highlight was the stop at the impressive Vjosa River. Ari's passion for the region was evident. Excellent restaurant selections throughout the tour focused on local cuisine. We ended the tour on the Albanian coast, where I was treated to breathtaking views of the sunset, a truly magical way to conclude an amazing tour.

I've had an u forgettable 2 days in beautiful Albania all thanks to my amazingly wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide Ari. When you're with Ari on a tour, he's not really doing a job, checking boxes of itenary and just saying a few things you should hear about every place. Ari invests himself and his soul in this. I've fallen in love with Albania because I was seeing it through Ari's eyes. From the moment I booked, till he picked me up form Tirana airport and we started our drive to Vlore and Serande, there was not a single dull moment. I tried traditional Albanian food, met Albanian people, saw sites that I couldn't imagine existed even in paintings and have felt safe every step of the way. I'm going back in October and this time I'll spend a longer time and we will do Monte Negro and Kosovo with him as well (after I have enough of my gorgeous Albania and it's lovely people). I can't recommend Ari enough. Book your trip with him with confidence, don't think twice. It's one of those things you won't regret. Thank you Ari 😊🌸

We chose this tour with Ari and it was amazing. We were very surprised by the high quality of the service and expertise he offered during this tour, which was a delight, to say the least. He was knowledgeable of every place we visited and had interesting stories for us to always remember. I recommend that you try it as it will be the experience of a lifetime. The perfect mix of adventure, history, and fun made our weekend and anniversary a special one.

The trip was wonderful - lots of great memories with the group. Everything went as planned..... Wine country was fun. We toured most of the south of Albania. On Saranda/Vlora we enjoyed the beach, it was outstanding, lots of great dinners and sightseeing. It was an awesome trip and it was a special one as our tour guide Ari, made the most to make us enjoy everything. Definitely have to come back.

One of the best tours of my life. If possible I would give 10 stars to this tour and Ari in particular. The experience I had from this tour, I can say I will never forget it. Ari proved to be very friendly and although at first we had our doubts, I can say that we completely changed our minds.Very organized and very professional.He was especially attentive to our requests. A very helpful, nice person. I can say that Ari made us see Albania completely in another eye. We had the opportunity to visit: The Albanian Riviera, Saranda, Gjirokastra, Permet and Tepelene and we had the chance to try some special dishes and also some foods quite different from those we are always used to try. I look forward to going back.

Me and my wife visited Albania for the second time and once agai chose Ari to be our local guide. Our choice bazed first of all on his attitude for organisation of the trips. Ari always makes them personal, not big groups, considers all interests of the customers and tries to show even more than you expect, it's really a pleasant surprize! During the tour you are always provided with light snacks, drinking water and interesting stories about life and traditions of albanian people. Due to Ari we saw a lot of sightseeings and visited merely all the cities on the South and South-East of Albania, made stops at authentical taverns and were not bored at all!!! Higly recommended :))

3 days trip with Ari were the highlights of our holidays. We booked this tour, not sure if it was the right choice but Ari made up our mind. He is so well organized and very careful. His job will soon be a very popular company tour for its professional tours and very unforgettable days it offers. Ari is so thoughtful and funny. To be honest we wanted a customized tour as far as we already visited Vlora city and Ari made it possible to customize a tour following our request. That was so kind. We visited Saranda, Gjirokastra, Tepelene, Permet, and albanian Riviera. All in 3 days. He made it look so easy going. The turistic spots were very interesting and especially the history of this region. We ate local food at every traditional restaurant. Gliko and rakia of permeti city and roasted lamb in tepelene were so delicious. We also enjoyed the thermal baths in permeti. Holidays become awesome and more secure with a local guide. Our guide is the best!!!

My first time in Albania made my holidays unforgettable. After all this time of being bored of Pandemic I and my guys decided to spend a few days in this beautiful country. People are so friendly. Ari is the best version of Albanian people. He is so friendly and helpful. We contacted him a few weeks ago before booking the tour and he was so ready to manage it and he has a very good experience in guiding. At the and of the tour we became good friends and we still talk to each other. We felt so home. As for the tour, that is a well organized tour. I suggest to book it a few days or a couple of weeks earlier so you may find it available. The nature is amazing and especially the coastline of Riviera Shqiptare. Food was very delicious and accommodation was good enough, usually a guesthouse so we could approach to the real life of Albanians. They are really peaceful and respectful people. They love their country even they're don't seem to be satisfied to the political situation of their country. A people full of hope and smiles. I'm very pleased to experience this tour and next time I hope I will visit the Northern Albania. Thank you so much Ari and thank you beautiful Albania !
