Dagtour naar Ksamil Blue Eye en Saranda vanuit Tirana Durres Golem

Great trip, well spent time and money. We got to see everything on the schedule. The guide Dorian was amazing, helpful and very charismatic. Time wise shorter but accurate to what is said on the guide/itinerary so we (and you)know what we were getting into. Beaches gorgeous, bus driver skilled,scenery breath taking. I would recommend taking the offered boat trip in ksamil for 15€ per person well worth it, it will either take you around the three islands or drop you off at one of them for 30mins to dip in the cool and clear waters and then will pick you up. All in all had a wonderful time. Couldn't be happier. We booked through TripAdvisor and it was great but there are also other booking options. "Get your guide" app. Sima & Baška

Amazing tour! Ksamil, Saranda, and the Blue Eye were absolutely beautiful. Everything was well organized, and a special thanks to our guide, Orgest, for being so kind, professional, and helpful throughout the day. Highly recommended!

I would never recommend that to book through Albanian Tours. Absolutely mortified of their service. I booked through Viator with the possibility of being picked up at hour hotel. The night before pickup, the driver writes me on WhatsApp asking me to meet the next day at a pickup place at 6.10, roughly an hour walk away. He was cheeky and said, we could just taxi. As it was not part the booking, I suggested they sent to pick us up. But the the driver just stopped replying, and deleting messages in the WhatsApp thread. Viator and then tried from afternoon until il midnight and the following morning to get hold of them. They didn’t reply. So we missed the trip. Would not trust to put my money forward these guys. Next time I would rather pay more but receive better service.

Wonderful experience also thanks to the guide Klod 🤩....so kind, helpful, and professional

Bad , team without empathy with kids Old car without air conditioning, broke in the way Bad.

Francesco the tour leader is an Amazing person , he do all the best in a tour that every problem happened . Unfortunately Coach has issues in AC and after 3 hours drive need to be changed and Francesco take care of everything . Blue Eye is Spectacular place to visit and very attractive for nature lovers . Saranda is not the best place to swim , very crowded beach with lot of music from Restaurants in the area and not clean sea . On the way back to Tirana the bus need to be changed again and Francesco again take care of everything . In general on this tour we spend lot of time in bus travelling than enjoy the places . But still when consider everything we are more than happy with the day we spent THANKS FRANCESCO

We booked the day before for the next day. The excursion was scheduled to depart at 7 AM from our hotel, but the night before at 10 PM, we received a WhatsApp from the guide informing us that the meeting would be at 5:20 AM, 35 minutes on foot from our hotel. We asked him to honor what had been sold, especially since we were two women and preferred to avoid going out alone in the middle of the night. He did not agree but offered to move the meeting to 5:10 AM at a location 15 minutes' walk from our hotel. We tried to ask him for a cancellation, but he refused. We still decided to go there. So we arrived at 5:10 AM at the indicated location (1 hour and 50 minutes earlier than what had been initially planned). We waited until 5:45 AM before the bus arrived. The air conditioning was broken, so we could not turn it off; the seat was also damaged and kept lowering onto the passengers behind us. We traveled for 6 hours and 30 minutes with several timed breaks to eat along the way. The first was at a gas station that offered breakfast. The reception, service, and organization were deplorable. To grab a snack, be prepared to be cut in line constantly without any warning; a higher amount than the receipt will be indicated on the payment terminal if you plan to pay by card (cash price: 120 Leke compared to 160 by card). We finally arrive in Saranda for only 45 minutes, just enough time to snack on something, but do not expect to visit or do any activities. Then, we depart on the bus towards Ksamil. After all this journey, fatigue was present, so we could not enjoy the 3 hours on site. Moreover, for Ksamil itself, it should be noted that to access a decent spot, you need to shell out about thirty euros for two sunbeds and a parasol. The guide will offer you an alternative, a free public beach. It is very small, crowded, and quite far from the center. After this long stop, we went to Blue Eyes. The place is beautiful but clearly does not deserve such a long trip. The water is freezing, swimming is prohibited, and to access it, expect about twenty minutes of downhill walking or plan to pay €3 per trip on a small train to avoid walking. The place is beautiful but quite small, and we quickly make the round. We had 1 hour on site. Return to Tirana at 11 PM, we ask the guide to kindly drop us off in front of our hotel. He did not bother to listen to us until the end and dropped us off at the starting point. In short, think twice before booking this excursion.

The tour was guided by Klodi who told many interesting things about Albania, he was responsive and helpful. The driver led the bus smoothly on the narrow road in the mountains, and the tour was organized well. However, my personal impressions is that the road takes much more time than sightseeing themselves since they are rather remoted if you start from Tirana.

The bus was broken and she didn't want to call another one in the middle of a mountain where there was no service.... Eventually have to arrange to board another bus yourself.... The places you go are good. But remember you're on the bus all day from 7 to 10 in the evening..

Had a lovely trip with friends. The guide was amazing with good knowledge of the places and explained the history associated. Was friendly.
