Day trip from Corfu - This was a great tour to see the highlights of Sarande, Albania. We were staying in Corfu and took the ferry over in the morning to meet our guide. Klajdi was great. He communicated with me about meeting at the port and how to find him. The tour was wonderful and he provided a lot of information for us at each stop and especially for the walk through Butrint. Highly recommend!

Klajdi our guide ... - Klajdi our guide collected us from our hotel. There was just the two of us this tour and as a result Klajdi was super flexible with the tour enabling us to amend the tour schedule and spending as much time as we wanted in each location. Klajdi provided us with loads of information and answered all our questions regarding life in Albania 🇦🇱. He gave us dining recommendations in Saranda and got us back in plenty of time for our ferry back to Corfu. A Fabulous Day in Albania.

Butrint National Park, the Blue Eye, and a panoramic viewpoint from Lekursi Castle. - We had a fantastic day exploring with our guide, Lici. He picked us up directly from our villa and dropped us back afterwards, which made the whole experience so convenient. The tour included three wonderful stops: Butrint National Park, the Blue Eye, and a panoramic viewpoint from Lekursi Castle. Lici was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of fascinating facts at each location. Butrint was stunning, with incredible ruins to explore – though it’s a fairly long walk with some steps, so good trainers are a must. The Blue Eye was absolutely breathtaking, with the clearest, most vibrant water I’ve ever seen. Finally, Lekursi Castle offered spectacular panoramic views – a perfect way to end the tour. A small tip: there aren’t really places to buy food or drinks along the way, so it’s best to bring some snacks and plenty of water. The whole trip took around six hours, door to door, and it was well worth it. Overall, Lici was a fantastic guide – professional, friendly, and informative. Highly recommended!
