    Overpriced, just rent a car

    Patrice_M, Aug 2023
    I got picked up by an older man (very sweet but didn't speak English) in an very old car. We had a few close call. They changed the time for the tour to the morning instead of the afternoon. No info about the sites visited. I was informed that they were overwhelmed in summer so the provider sent her dad instead. The sites visited are nice though. Definitely not what I expected for that price. With a rental car and a GPS you can do the same and feel safer.

    Wonderful trip accompanied by professional tour guide.

    On arrival we were greeted by fresh fruit which was brought especially for us. We were accompanied by a lovely tour guide. He had excellent driving skills and was very sympathetic. We were taken to blue eye and left to explore at our own pace. Which was greatly appreciated as we did not feel rushed and we could explore the area. The trip continued to St. Nicholas Monestary where we were lucky enough to find it open! Once again, we were let to take time and explore as much as we liked. To conclude our trip we drove to see the Lekuresi Castle, where you can see the most spectacular views of Sarande and the Islands of Ksamil. We will definitely recommend taking this private tour for anyone who likes to explore in good company!
