A very complete tour of some of the most impressive points of Albania with very good company. - The tour was awesome, we enjoyed every stop including Trips as the group that touched us was perfect, I must say that in all the excursions I have done so far I had never had a Guide as friendly and intelligent as Marsia, which made the excursion unforgettable!

Awesome! - If youre staying in sarandë, you should definitly take a trip to Gjirokastër, and blue eye. Went solo cause the boys had a bad hangover.
Still ended up being an awesome experience.
Great guide, cool destinations, and beautiful scenery.

Fantastic guide! Beautiful tour - Marsia Ponde was a delightful guide. She was so eloquent and pleasant. She was thoughtful and knew her history. The tour was fantastic. For me personally, I have challenged mobility because of a knee replacement. I opted out of the traditional house and Cold War tunnel and waited/met up with the group at the bazaar. Marisa made accommodations for me and was very considerate. We would highly recommend this tour. Just know that it is strenuous

Diverse, informational, and amazing - Our guide, Marcia, took us to a large variety of absolutely amazing places. She was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, and made the experience incredibly fun! The driver was great, and the van was comfortable and cool on a hot day

A great tour to take a break from beach days - Good tour specially if you want a more cultural day and take a break from the beach.
The blue eye is not to be missed in Albania.
Marcia was a great guide, super informative and also gave us enough time to explore. The visit to the typical house in Gyrokaster was surprisingly interesting.

Great trip very well guided - The trip took us to Gjirocaster Castle and the Blue Eye, which we wanted, and to the Cold War Tunnels and Skenduli House, which an unexpected but worthwhile bonus. Alban and Marcia made the trip both comfortable and interesting - adapting the timetable to reflect the weather and the group's requests. Both were great and made all the difference.
