Great day trip to Saranda - Ilmi, was our tour guide and the driver. He was patient and told us so much about the rich history of Albania in general. He is a good driver as well and accompanied us on all our tour. He is a good lad Admission was free and where required, it was covered by the company. We had enough time to wander around, take photos, eat and have toilet breaks

Beautiful Spots and a Well-Planned Day Trip - Ksamil, Saranda and Blue Eye - seeing all three in one day is truly a remarkable experience! The blue water and white sand of Ksamil are as beautiful as a postcard. I was able to take some great photos with a short break in Saranda. Blue eye was the best part of the whole day - the color of the water is incredibly beautiful! The guide was courteous and informative, and the ride was comfortable. If I had a little more time, I'd give them five stars.

Day Trip - The boat trip once you arrive at Ksamil is not worth it, you pay 10 euros each for a 5-10 minute boat ride to the hand at Ksamil. However you are told it will be about an hour worth of boat ride covering the boating experience and stop overs on the islands in comparison to walking to the hand from the drop off point which will take about 15 minutes for free. Also due to the way the trip was organised it meant that you only arrived at the blue eye very late around 4-4:30pm where it becomes dark so you can’t see the full effect of the blue eye.

Albanian nature is amazing, however trip feels more like transfer rather than tour - Overall South Albania locations here: Ksamil, Saranda, Blue Eye, are very picturesque. However, I would not call our trip a tour, rather transfer. We had only driver with us without guide. There was no cultural, historical or even modern explanations of places that we were passing or visited during the day. Even though it is mentioned in the description and in many reviews of the visitors. Maybe if would be better to rename it into transfer, so expectations from the visitor will be less. Or improve it with the described features.
