Daytour Ksamil with tourguide Orgest - Was fun to learn more about the country and see the beautiful sights. Especially the blue eye. Perfect cherry on top! Is a long day but the ending at the blue eye is worth it. Orgest is a great tourguide. Very enthusiastic and gives good tips about the trip itself, but also for the rest of the stay in Albania.

Really enjoyed this trip! Awesome! :) - It was my first time in Albania, stayed in Tiranë but wanted to check out what Albania was like in a day and decided to take this day trip. While experience was really good, really enjoyed, it is a very long day and a really early start but that was fine, especially if you want to get the most out of the day. Tour guide was really good, helpful, friendly and some helpful recommendations on places to go and eat in certain locations we stopped at. Spoke in English, Italian and provided some interesting insights to Albanian culture. We also had some French travellers who helped translate some of the key points of interest and also meeting points too. So preferably you’ll need to have access to WhatsApp well so the tour guide can communicate with you before, during and after the tour. Definitely have cash on you when on the tour and beach essentials when you’re stopping off at Saranda and Ksamil. We even played charades on the way back while dropping everyone back to their accommodations, which was fun! Would even do the tour again if I plan to come back. Great for solo travellers like myself, couples and families. Would recommend - had a great time!

Blue eye, Saranda & Ksamil Day Tour with ORGEST DE tourguide - Yesterday we had a long, but wonderful day in the south. We stay in the west ourselves, so it was several hours on DE bus, but it was absolutely worth it! We had a great tour guide: Orgest. He made sure it was pleasant for everyone. Unfortunately DE Blue Eye was closed due to forest fires. Orgest was very sorry for us EN tried to find an alternative that was suitable for everyone. On DE way back we played a nice game with DE whole bus. DE tourguide had EN fine energy and everything was perfectly arranged. Five stars for him!

Super Tour - Our guide Orgest was just great – very friendly, competent and with a great way to make the tour interesting. We were able to do two out of three planned activities without any problems, and the third ES unfortunately didn’t work out due to forest fires (which of course he couldn’t help). Orgest immediately thought of a good alternative, so we still had a great experience. ES all in all it was great and we can absolutely recommend him!

Top day trip for beach and natural lovers - The overall trip may seem quite jam-packed. But the local guide, Oregust, is skilled at accommodating large groups. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Albania. And he will go the extra mile to ensure everyone can enjoy this trip.

An excursion to 'collect' stops in Service Areas - I would not recommend this excursion. He sums up spending most of his time on the bus and in Service Areas with which the guide seemed to have an agreement. In the destinations, the time was very limited. In Saranda we barely had time to tread water and take some pictures. In Ksamil, we decided to try to see the attraction of the hand, but the queues were endless and there was no control whatsoever, which made it impossible. Luckily, we were able to enjoy the Blue Eye well, which was the best thing about the excursion. In addition, we hired the excursion in Spanish and paid more for it, but the guide barely communicated in our language, giving preference to the group of English. When we asked him for explanations in Spanish, his attitude was unprofessional, with bad faces and disinterest. The tour is not worth what it costs. It is better to visit these places for free.
