Great trip would definitely recommend - Absolutely great day! Scenery and views were amazing and the tour was really interesting. Was really chilled and we were given options around timings on the stops - no rushing us at any point. Thankyou!

Exactly what we were hoping for! - This tour went to everywhere we wanted to see inland in Albania, our guide Marcia was really informative and answered any questions we had. We also saw sites you can only see with a tour guide. The communication before the tour was very clear and the tour bus was clean and driver safe. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour.

Definitely do this! - So many things to see in Albania! Was so surprised to learn about the history. We were taken to the Cold War tunnels and the castle had the most stunning views. The town was beautiful and the Blue Eye was a real highlight too 😍 only thing I’d do differently is ask to rent a scooter!

One of the best tours! - Genuinely excellent tour. One of the best I've been on in Europe. Marisha (definitely incorrect im sorry!!) was such a great guide. She gave us plenty of time at each place and her factoids were brief and to the point. Never once did my group feel rushed through a place. It is a long tour, about 8 hours with the car trips, but there are plenty of stops and options for food. This was well worth the cost and I highly recommend it if you are not traveling with a car.

Magic - I was there with the REI TOUR excursion. Marsia is a wonderful Guide who speaks French perfectly! I was able to see and understand this beautiful place full of stories about the Castle and the skenduli house and I took full eyes of the beautiful blue eye!

Great value for money trip - Great informative trip was picked up and dropped off. Good to see further inland Albania. Visited the Castle, Bazaar and Blue Eye. You get 1hr for free lunch and browse about the old town. Special mention to our Guide Marcia who made the day a 10/10. Passionate about her country and a good sense of humour!

This is the best tour in Albania so far! - Marcia from Rei Tours, our guide was very informative in Gjirokaster! A lot of history from the walls of the castle, to the cold war tunnel and Skendüli house! Secondly, we visited the blue eye. The water was so refreshing and soothes the summer heat! It is a must if you are here in Sarandë area. Its an experience you won’t ever forget! I totally recommend this tour!
