Great tour and great guide! - The tour is perfect for visiting the Unpacked around Saranda. Butrint and the Blue Eye are definitely not to be missed on a trip here. Our guide Klajdi was great! He showed us everything, showed us around and explained a lot. He knows very well, was always so nice to take photos of us and talked to us a lot. Overall, the tour was a lot of fun , was very interesting and the highlight of our trip. Would recommend them to anyone.

One day Sarande - Our guide, Klajdi, waited for us near the port. Our ferry was late and we had to be back in time. Because it was a private tour that was no problem! He gave us all the time we needed to look around and to take pictures and gave us al lot of information about the sites we visited Most important: He is a very nice, kind person. Good impression of Sarande.

Fabulous tour. - Klajdi was our guide today. We were picked up from our hotel at 8 am. We took the early slot as recommended by other reviewers due to some sites being crowded later in the day. Plus, the temperature was 36°. Klajdi is very passionate about his heritage and the preservation of his country. He speaks very good English and explains in great detail about the areas we visited, plus what we were able to see along the way. He has great knowledge of the history of these sights, all self-taught. He also took us to a great bakery for brunch, as we had not had any breakfast. He also told us to message him at anytime, if we needed any restaurant recommendations or if we found ourselves stuck and needed a taxi. Klajdi has a great personality and is very easy to get along with and has a sense of humour, too which made our tour. We really enjoyed the time spent with him on our tour and would highly recommend you take a tour with him.

Took us to to places where we tried traditional dishes, and he gave us many reconmedations about Albania. When we nededí help he did everything he could and more! Thank you Klajdi :) PS: he is skilled photographer as well!:)
