Perfect - Engjell was perfect! He made us discover the most beautiful part of Albania in an unforgettable way. We were accompanied by our 2 young children (5 months and 2 years). He adapted to all unforeseen circumstances to facilitate the excursion (breakfast break, pharmacy (to uncork the baby’s nose 😵‍💫), breaks to go to the little corner for my daughter, diaper changes etc...). He adapted the route so that we could enjoy with the family. The landscapes of the riviera are breathtaking, we stopped several times to admire the views from above. Thank you Engjell for your royal accompaniment! The best guide you will find in Albania!

I recommend to all the people in this world to visit Ksamil and do the tour - First time when we have been to Albania was last year during summer and we were very excited and in the same time worried because was our first time in this country. We booked the prive tour from Tirana to Ksamil and all went perfect. I never thought i can find such professional team and water as in the MAldives in Albania. I recommend to all the people in this world to visit Ksamil and do the tour.

Just go for it !! - I had the best time on my trip to Gjirokaster, Blue eye of Saranda and Butrint. My guide , Erjon, is extremely caring , funny person . Had the best time on the longest drives. He constantly looks at your need and curates the experience to meet all of it.Especially Butrint and the drive back through riveria. Also the blue eye of Sarandë , 🤌🏽. Highly highly recommend this .

Beautiful experience - It was the most scenic drive I’ve ever been on. It was a long tour but we stopped regularly for pictures and to take in the view. My tour guide, Engjell, was very knowledgeable, warm and friendly. I definitely recommend this tour

This trip needs to be... - This trip needs to be re-planned because you basically don't see the essence of what is mentioned, you're just constantly running to catch up with the clock. We had half an hour in each city and a little more in Ksamil, so you don't have time. Suggestion to remove Sarandë or Ksamil and give more time to one destination. We were in the car for about 10 hours, very tiring. Fortunately our guide was excellent and tried very hard to make us have a good time, giving us lots of information about what we asked for, always willing to help us. Very good guide and very knowledgeable about the area and its history

awesome view and nice driver - Daniel, as a guide, was accommodating and considerate to everybody during that day. He also has been on time and always ready to help when needed. The only thing is that I just feel like we’ve spent more time on the road than the actual scenery, it lacks detailed explanation including the history of the castle, why it was built and who built it but hey, that’s just my take. Also, this could’ve been a good tour if it started outside Tirana. Just my take but overall lovely.
