★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 884 reviews · 9 hours · from $47Our pick

Review of Saranda’s 9-hour tour to Lekursi Castle, Blue Eye, Gjirokaster, Mesopotam Monastery, Ottoman Bridge, and communist bunkers.

“This is an awesome experience, Carefully choreographed to cover all significant places around the region. So much can be enjoyed in just one day, without rushing, thanks to Ilir, the nice guide who I think is the owner. I came here in middle of January when tourist are so scarce, but Ilir is willing to take me as a solo guest, which is deeply appreciated. He explained many things about Albania history, the communist past, the general life. Gjirokaster is really a gem, with very unique architecture & winding slanting streets, though most summer tourists may just care about diving into blue eye crystal bubbly waters. Not to overlook Lekursi…”

Review of Saranda’s Butrint, Ksamil, Blue Eye and Lekuresi Castle tour, with practical advice on sights, timing, value and drawbacks.

“Problemer med at blive samlet op på det aftalte sted og der var næsten gået en time fra det fastsatte afgangstid før vi kom af sted på turen den 22.8. Guiden var ikke tilstedeværende på turen. Og vi kom tilbage næsten tre timer efter det fastsatte tidspunkt. Vi blev kørt til en meget lidt charmerede strand hvor der var et spisested med meget dyr mad og kun 36 min til at spise. Så vi valgte at springe frokosten over. Helt uacceptabelt at man skal påtvinges et spisested når man selv skal betale. Butrint var højdepunktet på turen og den ene stjerne går til den oplevelse. Den værste oplevelse vi har…”
