Great tour guide and perfect day - Marisa was such a great tour guide! She gives you great information about each place and your own time to explore, which we never felt rushed. She also gives great recommendations for lunch, so make sure to ask her where to get the meatballs from (they were delicious!). I strongly recommend anyone to do this tour, you won’t be disappointed. It was truly a great day and I felt like I got to see a lot, and learn a lot as well. Marisa is also a local to the area so it was so great to learn from her. The tour company itself is great as well! I left my sunglasses in the van and they made sure to mail them back to me.

Great day experiencing Albania - Loved all aspects of the tour, from the castle to the Blue Eye. Marsia was our tour guide, she did a great job. She was friendly and knowledgeable.

Impressive places and top guide - Great trip! Our guide shared many interesting stories full of historical facts in an entertaining and fun way. She patiently answered all our questions.. Both Gjirokastra and Blue Eye are impressive and definitely worth visiting!

Unforgettable beauty of the city of stone roofs - The stunning old town with stone roofs makes an impression that is difficult to convey in words. Walking along the sloping streets, many shops selling authentic local souvenirs made of stone and wood. Some of these souvenirs are made by craftsmen on the spot in front of customers. With each step up these narrow streets, a new unforgettable view opens both up the mountain and down the valley. I highly recommend you to visit, treat your eyes with wonderful views and an amazing city, and your stomach with delicious Albanian food

Gjirokastra with Marcia as a guide. Simply the best. - Gjirokastra is a beautiful town with an interesting history. Marcia our guide grew up there and was perfect. Her English was excellent, easy to understand and told us some fascinating stories of the town, the communist bunker and castle. She was very mindful too of our well being making sure we would duck under low passages and to mind our step on slippery surfaces. I would highly recommend this tour and you'd be very fortunate to have Marcia as your guide. The Blue Eye was a beautiful interesting sight and well worth visting.

Great way to see Albania! - Very knowledgeable guide. Lots of driving and walking. Plenty of spare time and great sites. Highly recommend. Wear comfortable shoes.

Great Tour Company - We booked a few trips via Viator for our time in Albania, which turned out to be different tour companies. After having the rest cancel or not turn up, I was so pleased that this company assured me they would run the trip, even if it was just the two of us. We had a fantastic day! Marsia our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, it was well planned out giving us a good taste of different aspects of this beautiful country. If you are looking at taking a trip, I would recommend this company.

Gjirokastro- beautiful city - I loved the city and the fortress, a very well preserved castle, the streets full of shops reminded me of the Athens Plate

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!

Cancellation at the last minute... - The event was cancelled the night before without any explanation as the departure was scheduled for the early morning. This left me very little time to reorganize my day. I was finally able to take a local bus to Gjirokaster and visit the city alone. Unfortunately, I was unable to visit the Blue Eye due to lack of time. It is inconceivable and very disappointing to have an activity cancelled at the last minute.
