Dinner and Dancing with a Local - We had a fantastic experience! Sonya, our guide was absolutely wonderful! Our original plan was to have dinner at the castle, but the castle wasn't serving dinner that night so we ended up at a restaurant in town. The food was really good and there was live music and dancing. We really enjoyed getting to know Sonya. She was so helpful and offered suggestions for others things to do during our stay. We ended up planning a trip with Sonya the next day to Ksamil, which was so beautiful. We spent a couple of hours at the beach and then drove to Butrint National Park to see a castle. There are castles everywhere in Albania! The history is fascinating! Sondra arranged all of our transportation, which was very helpful. We had so much fun and I would highly recommend this experience!

Room for Improvement - I wanted to message the organiser directly because I think improvements can be made but it seems I cannot do this Firstly, we were picked up late - it cost £18 to use data to contact the organiser to check her whereabouts. Once she picked us up she told us she had just come from the beach. Good to see her guests were prioritised The music was not traditional as advertised There were no dancers as advertised There seemed to be disagreements between the host and the wait staff The food was not traditional Albanian food as advertised The food was cold. The potatoes were raw The beef was not cooked well The host seemed more interested in her mobile phone than guests The host kept disappearing We ate elsewhere at other times and could eat for 4 people with many drinks for the same price the Albanian Evening charges for 1 person
