Amazing Guide & Great Communication If Weather Conditions Impact Your Trip! Gave us a wonderful trip despite a heatwave!
We had an amazing time kayaking! Because there was a heatwave during our trip, we had to adjust our booking for the Porto Palermo tour, but I am so glad we did! Lora was very kind and chatted with us to get everything settled. Originally I wanted to paddle board, but the conditions were too rough so we kayaking and I'm extremely thankful Lora and our guide Viktor encouraged this because we were able to actually enjoy the route, rather than tire ourselves working against the waves. Viktor was extremely helpful and kind, and even let me use his paddle board on the calmer beaches which was more then enough! Overall, we had an amazing experience and got to enjoy even more than we had planned! ☺️

Amazing Land Tour to South Albanian Gems!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend this day tour to anyone visiting South Albania! It was an amazing experience, taking us to some of the country’s most beautiful and historic destinations, including the breathtaking Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), the magnificent Lëkurësi Castle, the UNESCO-listed city of Gjirokastër, the peaceful St. Michael’s Monastery, and the picturesque Ottoman Bridge.
Every stop had something unique to offer. The crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Blue Eye were absolutely mesmerizing, while the magnificent panoramic views from Lëkurësi Castle overlooking Sarandë, the Ionian Sea, and Corfu were simply unforgettable. Gjirokastër captivated us with its rich history, well-preserved Ottoman architecture, and charming cobblestone streets. The peaceful atmosphere at St. Michael’s Monastery and the historic Ottoman Bridge added even more depth and beauty to the journey.
The itinerary was very well planned, giving us enough time to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed.
A special thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Ilir (whose name means “freedom” in Albanian). He was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and interesting stories behind every place we visited. His explanations made the trip even more enjoyable and meaningful.
Although it was a large group, everything was very well organized. We were divided into four comfortable vehicles, making the journey relaxing and enjoyable. Our driver was also incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating. As a thoughtful gesture, he even dropped us off near our hotel after the tour, which we truly appreciated.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience with spectacular scenery, fascinating history, excellent organization, and outstanding service. If you’re looking for a full-day adventure that showcases the natural beauty, magnificent viewpoints, and cultural heritage of southern Albania, this tour is definitely worth booking!

Great day !
Stunning place & great guide ❤️ we had a slight delay due to very heavy traffic. Arvi our host had great communication and was extremely apologetic (although not within her control), she even paid for our train to the top of the blue eye as compensation which was very much appreciated. The blue eye itself was truly beautiful. Great day 💙

Thank you Capital
The Mussel Tour was absolutely incredible. My trip to Albania has been amazing, and this has been the best excursion I've experienced here.
The captain was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and personable, making the entire experience unforgettable. I can't wait to visit the restaurant and see the captain again next year.
The young graduate student who translated for us was a lovely gentleman and did a fantastic job.
Thank you, Captain, for the delicious food and the incredible experience. I hope to see you again soon.

Private tour with extremely knowledgeable guide.
We were lucky enough to have a private tour with Tony. He picked us up at our hotel and our first stop was Butrint (this was to get ahead of the crowds). His knowledge of the site was extensive, answered all our questions. Then we went to Ksamil and had a drink at a local restaurant. Beautiful views and beaches. Our last stop was Lekursi Castle (or as we were told - Lekursi Fortification). Tony gave us a good understanding of Albanian history and today’s challenges. Wonderful experience.

Throughly Recommend
This was a well organised tour that was marred only by being a very wet day (which was completely out of the tour organiser's control).
In spite of this, we thoroughly enjoyed the places we visited.
The pickup was punctual; the driver very pleasant and drove in a considered, safe way (in particularly bad weather).
The tour representative Joni was on top of her game and kept us well informed!
Thoroughly recommend.

A must do tour
This was a great tour. From the very start I was made to feel so relaxed and special, and within a very short time we were all a group and enjoying all the banter. The swimming, snorkeling and beaches were great. This was such a well organised tour, and a brilliant crew.

Awesome experience!
A super fun excursion that takes you to almost all the sights in the area. Just the right amount of time is allocated for each spot. The kayaking is especially fun! There's almost no current, making it a fun activity for (almost) everyone. And not to forget: a super fun and excellent guide!

Nice day with lots of history
The Castle, Cold War tunnels and Blue Eye were fascinating. I’m convinced that no one knows more about Albania’s history than our guide, Marsia! The only down side are the many, many hills and uneven steps involved in this tour. It is NOT for almost anyone, as the description states. Numerous people on our tour stayed behind rather than climb another hill or navigate more uneven steps.

VIP tour of Blue Eye, Monastery and the Castle.
Kladji (our English tour guide) was so accommodating. A great way to get a personalized tour without having to board a bus with a big group. Kladji made sure our parking spot was close to each entrance to avoid a lot of walking in the hot sun. Highly recommend this tour!!!

Great day on the water!
Excellent day on the water! The boat was not full so it was easy to find a spot - pro tip don’t get the bean bag chairs… get yourself a spot near the bar for later (shade that you will want after a lot of sun) and then use the nets as all the people on bean bag chairs are lounging in the sun already so they should be free to use!
They served us watermelon and cantaloupe after our first swim stop which was very fresh and tasty.
The crew, especially Mario (who was also the chef) were great and the lunch (seafood linguini) looked amazing. I didn’t have the seafood linguini because I am gluten free but they made me caprese salad and lunch comes with a glass of local white wine which was nice and chilled. They made my friend a modified pasta, with pesto, tomatoes, and pecorino, as she didn’t want seafood pasta - also very good. My friend doesn’t drink alcohol so they swapped her wine for another non-alcoholic drink without any issue. In the afternoon after the third swim stop, we asked for two coffees and it was no problem to get two very nice and strong espressos.
Overall, the trip was around 6 hours from 10am to 4pm and the timing was great, not too long and didn’t feel rushed.
Great value for money, even if pricier than comparables. Pick this if you want a more laid back and relaxing, not crazy party, trip.
Gracie mille Mario and crew, we had a great time!
