Tirana: Excursão de um dia por Saranda, Ksamil, Blue Eye e Vjosa River

There were a lot of beautiful views. Our guide Arnela was very very friendly and helpful. There was kinda a lot time in a bus but it was not a problem even if i got carsick. And the Air conditioner worked very very good. I highly recommend this trip.

A lot of beautiful views, the guide Arnela so helpful, highly recommend

We had a wonderful experience. The guide was incredibly welcoming, patient, and helpful throughout the entire trip. He took the time to answer our questions and made sure we felt well taken care of. In addition, he provided great recommendations and suggested alternative options that suited us even better. We truly appreciate the excellent service and would highly recommend this experience to others.

My elderly father and I booked this trip in order to see a little more of Albania. We were both excited to see what Albania had to offer.both in the countryside and the coastal towns The guide that we were given for the day, Cloudia,was absolutely excellent , very professional and worked hard tirelessly. She had to deal with quite a grumpy coach driver! The blue eye lake was very beautiful and although very far away , the beach towns were interesting , but not really our cup of tea. If you like a seaside resort that is busy with lots of people , then the latter half of the trip is for you. There were a lot of pickups and drop offs , which probably added a good four hours to the travelling. Plus we had to transfer from a mini bus to a coach on the way there and the way back , and by that time , it was midnight. It is worth noting that at the blue eye start, there is a five hundred metre walk up hill to the train ride. Usually in mild weather, this would be okay.But the temperature was thirty nine degrees and very difficult to navigate The drop off points on the venues weren't very user-friendly , as we had to walk to them , and if you have mobility issues , this caused a problem and also it was very hot. It would be good to have more details on just how far one travels on this day trip and the amount of pickups and drop offs , because if we had known we might not have booked. We were on the road from 0600 - 0030

Louisa was wonderful! We gave her 5 stars due to being an excellent guide, knowledgeable, and very understanding. She always showed her concern by checking on us, making sure that we were ok, and asking us if we had any questions. If you book this tour, I hope you get her!

Luisa was very friendly and kept us well informed through the day, we had a great time. Would recommend this tour

The trip itself was nice but long. The worst part is that we were dropped off at a big square that it took us 10 minutes to find our orientation to the hotel and another 10 minutes to get there. In the morning we were not picked up at the hotel either (despite what is written on Viator), but at least we were given a link to get there. The evening drop off was not at the same place and if it was not for Googlemaps and 5G we would be horribly lost.

Fact: Be mentally prepared for a 15 hour day trip with maximum time spent in the coach. Experience: Louisa & Valerie were both wonderfully warm and attentive throughout the trip. Highly recommend both of them for all kinds of trips in Albania! One complaint- there was a change of coach-transfer from a small one to a bigger one. The bigger one had food wrapper and crumbs stashed in the tray table and should have been cleaned before having new passengers on board.

The tour was very nice. I would especially like to praise the tour guide Dorian. He surpassed himself with his care. A big thank you to the driver as well. The bus was air-conditioned (bringing a jacket is recommended). All the stops were very nice and worth seeing. Unfortunately, the stop in Saranda was very short, which we liked very much. The Blue Eye and the river were also very beautiful. The stay in Ksamir was almost a bit too long. All in all, one can only recommend the tour.

There are guides and there are people who turn a simple trip into an unforgettable memory. Dorian is part of the second category. The trip to Ksamil, Sarandë and Blue Eye was absolutely superb, and the credit goes 100% to him. His professionalism, patience, positive energy and care for each tourist are impressive. He gave us interesting explanations, excellent recommendations and constantly made sure that we felt good and enjoyed every stop. In addition to being an exceptional guide, Dorian is an extraordinary, sincere, respectful and dedicated man. It is clear that he loves his job and puts his heart into everything he does. We felt safe, relaxed and welcome throughout the trip, even though the agency forgot to put us on the list (prepaid trip) and sent us a cancellation email when we were already on the bus, after we had confirmed (the day before) I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Albania. If you have the opportunity to go on a trip with Dorian, don't hesitate for a moment! You will discover not only spectacular places, but also a 10-star man who makes the difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dorian! You contributed to one of the most beautiful experiences of our vacation and we hope to see you again soon! If it weren't for you, instead of a review there would have been a complaint to the Ministry of Tourism of Albania!
