Fun day in Albania - We had a wonderful half day tour with Ari. He was an incredibly knowledgeable, fun guide who kept us interested and entertained. We learned a lot about Albania and saw some beautiful sites. The best was our seafood lunch on the water. We highly recommend this tour and Ari!

Spectacular day trip to Southern Albania - Ari was amazing, fantastic day. Got to see amazing sights and learn so much about Albanian history. Ari’s personable and kind nature was very apparent and made my husband and I feel comfortable and looked after. Gjirokastra was a particular highlight, with the castle and the views of the old town. We stopped at a restaurant there recommended by Ari and this did not disappoint! Food quality spectacular and service very friendly with generous portions and exceptional value for money. Blue eye spring not to be missed. Mountains and valleys beyond stunning. What an amazing country, so glad we took time to travel from Corfu to visit for the day. Definitely recommend this tour!!!

A Must Do - We did the halfday trip with Ari to the blue eye water spring as we heard it is a must do. The water of the spring was crystal clear and so beautiful. Ari told us that there are a lot of dragonflies but we couldn't see them because it was too hot for them. However the tour was really worth it and we loved the coffee time with are while discussing about his loved country.

Great short adventure near Sarandë! - A great trip! We had a limited time being cruise ship guests to the area and our friendly tour guide was great at making sure we were back in plenty of time as indicated on the tour timings. A really nice potter about 3 lovely spots and well worth it for us to make the most of our short time docked in Sarandë. Absolutely loved the blue eye, worth the journey out - it was stunning and our guide kindly bought us a drink in the cafe at the site. Would recommend, you'll be in good hands! (Picture of us and our guide in the blue eye photo).

Memorable - The half-day tour with Ari was a pleasant experience. Ari is not just a professional guide, he behaves and talks like an old friend of yours. He has his ways to make the tour memorable. Also, he takes great spontaneous pictures.
