ジロカスターツアー,ブルーアイ＆レクルシ城

We very much enjoyed the tour. We had an absolutely wonderful guide. She gave plenty of information and always kept us updated about everything, especially regarding the time and place to pick us up at our meeting point. This gave us a real sense of security and peace of mind throughout the trip. She made sure that everything went smoothly and, above all made the whole experience very enjoyable. We could not have asked for a better guide. She spoke very well in English. Her unique approach by creating a Whattsap group ensabled us to track where she was and to send us loads of written information that we could read.

Pros - Amazing guide Jona. Friendly, positive and has lots to share - Smooth pickup and org - All is worth to visit Cons - The tour was for 3 mini-buses so was the guide switching the buses - Beware you'll need to climb the hills / pay extra for the train that stinks like smoke all the time to get to the Blue eye and see how some crazy tourists swim right next to the sign that it's prohibited to swim there

Fantastic day trip. Multiple pickup and drop off locations made it very convenient. The minibuses were very comfortable with air conditioning. Our guide Jona was lovely. Very knowledgeable, helpful and so bubbly. We were constantly given choices which allowed the day to go at our pace. Never felt rushed. The sights were amazing and the whole day was great value. So pleased we did this.

Several pickup points in Sarandë and mini-vans with AC. The driver was less talkative but it was okay. The guide was very pleasant, clear, and engaging. Repeated important information several times regarding collection time and place. 2 hours are spent in Gjirokaster, 1.5 hours in Blue Eye and 20 minutes in Lekursi castle. In Gjirokaster, there was barely enough time if you chose to go on a war tunnel/bunker tour (which was not included in this guide but was a recommendation from the guide). Otherwise, there was enough time for the other places.

Gjirokastër is such a cute and well perserved two. Blue eye gorgeous and the view from Lekusi castle spectacular. An amazing day, made even more amazing with our lovely guide Jona. She was a pleasure. 10/10

A really lovely tour. Jona the guide was so good. She was knowledgeable, funny and very helpful and accommodating. The driver of our very comfortable minibus, Arber, was amazing and navigated the winding roads and hills with such skill we felt relaxed and safe. The only problem was we drove from Himare and arranged for pick up at Vodafone Shop in Sarande. There was absolutely no parking and we missed our pickup time. But Jona was fantastic and arranged to meet us at another much more convenient location. It was a long day but we saw so much and it was really interesting, beautiful and definitely worth seeing. It was excellent value for money.

I am very grateful for this trip, because everything was organised very well. Cost was fair, and lection was detailed and full of good jokes

I’m not really a tour person, but there were a couple of places I wanted to see around Saranda so I booked this tour through Leka Tours. The tour guide we had was Jona and she was amazing! Her English was excellent and she was so knowledgeable. Sometimes that can be boring but Jona has a great sense of humour which made it more interesting. When we first started the tour, she asked everyone if we had any commitments after the tour or if we could be flexible. Nobody had any other commitments and were flexible so the tour that was supposed to end at 4 didn’t end until 6. This tour was great value for the money. I would highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Jona as your guide.

Blue Eye is not blue anymore, quite green when we visited, It is a tourists trap, the hike is nice, but too many people are standing above/around the underground stream viewing platform and we did not get chance to get there. Extremely crowded and nothing to see.Loved the Tour of Gjirokaster castle and it was a lovely overnight stay. Lekursi Castle also a good stop with the beautiful views but mostly a restaurant and event space.

The tour was very entertaining and interesting. The tour guide Jona explained everything well and was also very critical of her country. We were able to gather many impressions.
