Great day out! - Thank you Tony! I had a fabulous day. It was fun and I really learned something.
It was a great mix of several different stops with Butrint being my fav because of the history and Blue eye being the most fun. Absolutely recommend it!

Extraordinary tour- gorgeous nature and knowledgeable guide - We absolutely loved this tour! It ended up being a private tour as we visited at the end of the season. Our guide and driver were amazing. Our guide was so kind and knowledgable. We learned a lot about the history of Albania, which we really enjoyed. Particularly loved the Butrint National Park and the Blue Eye. We didn't get that much time in Ksamil, but more time in Butrint, so that was fine with us!

***** Absolutely 5 stars ***** - I was the only one booked for the tour and they went out of their way to ensure I still got to visit all the sights.
Both guides were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, even taking pictures for me!
We left at 8am which was the perfect time as we had Ksamil and Butrint pretty much to ourselves and were finished by the time the tour buses turned up!
Really great tour, Thank you both so much!

Great tour of the sites of Southern Albania - Tony did a great job showing us the major sites in the southern part of Albania. An action packed full day of history and natural beauty including a delicious, rustic lunch in the country to break up the day (you pay for your own lunch).

Great way to see it all! - Tony was a fantastic guide! He planned our day to try and have us miss the crowds at Butrint. Knowledgeable about the history so we leaned a lot and never felt rushed. He went above and beyond to drop us off at an additional stop so we were able to visit a winery! Thanks Tony!
