Wonderful Experience, Must Do Trip. - Had a wonderful trip with Marcia as our Guide for the day. We were picked up from the hotel in a very comfortable vehicle that was dedicated to us for the entire day. The journey was smooth and our Guide kept us informed and entertained along the way. The entry to Gjirokaster Castle was smooth and quick and Marcia took the trouble to explain every little detail about the origins, history and important events along the way. Post the Castle, we went down to the Town Square, followed by the Cold War Bunker and the Historic House - the roads were under repair but the driver made sure we were dropped off as close as possible to the locations. We then went to the Blue Eye - a beautiful natural phenomenon (pro tip: look at it diagonally to get the best image). Following this, we were lucky enough to visit the Castle on the Hill at Ksamil to catch the sunset and the panoramic view of the City. Overall a wonderful experience, would 10/10 recommend this to everyone.

A professional team - Although this tour required a minimum of two participants to go ahead, Alban and his team were only too happy to look after me when I showed up as the only guest. A drive through the beautiful Albanian countryside in a clean and comfy SUV culminated at the stone city. Here Marcia, the articulate and friendly guide, escorted me through the stunning castle, bazaar and traditional 17th century home. Then it was the genial Alban who drove me to The Blue Eye, a spectacular natural spring in the mountains before delivering me personally to my doorstep in Sarande. This is a highly professional team who go the extra mile for their customers. Highly recommended.

Albania your. Great time! - We reserved this tour an hour and a half on a Sunday morning before it was supposed to start. When we met with the tour group, he didn’t think it was possible to get it organized but said he would give it a shot. He was able to find a driver and a guide that provided us with a wonderful and informative tour. We couldn’t have been happier.

Great story telling along the drive - informative and fun adventure! - It was nice learning of the history of Albania as well as the history of the places we were visiting.

Amazing Albania - What a beautiful country. Our guide was amazing and I would highly recommend this tour. They got us back to the ship in plenty of time. Loved it!

Marsia was an excellent... - Marsia was an excellent guide! we had the best time roaming around the Old town and seeing the magistic Blue eye

Stunning - What a great tour! We had Marcia as our tour guide, and she was absolutely lovely! We were glad to be going in October: from what we understood, it was the end of the season and this is why is was less busy. We were able to truly enjoy each of the sights. And while it was still very warm, it was comfortable for the walk at the Blue Eye. Maybe not ideal for elderly or people unable to go on long walk. My favorite sight was the Blue Eye, while my partner absolutely loved the Castle. We both enjoyed the Cold War tunnels and the House as well. 100% recommend!

Amazing daytrip to book - The tour was amazing, we had Marcia as guide and she explained everything very clear and interesting! She gave us nice recommendations to eat in our free-time in Gjirokastra, which was really good. This daytrip was an amazing thing to do when you visit the South of Albania! The tour was really adapted to us and we were not rushed any time, so we were able to enjoy every single place. We were even able to see the beautiful sunset.

Amazing - The guide that did our tour was amazing. It was raining but she planned it around so that we could see everything

Viator has a deceptive description of this tour. - I only gave this tour 3 stars because of the deceptive description found in Viator. The description says "This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate." What it doesn't say is that the tour operator will create "your group" from multiple other bookings. Each group is up to 20 people (we had 16). Other web sites offering this tour have different descriptions. I do recommend the tour, if only because of the Patisserie we went to for lunch near the Skenduli House. Yes, Skenduli house, Lekuresi castle and the Blue Eye were great, but the patisserie was out of this world.
