Explore Gjirokastër Castle, Ottoman streets, Cold War tunnels, and Albania’s Blue Eye on a practical day trip from Saranda.

“We joined the Gjirokastra – The Stone City & Blue Eye tour as a group of seven and, while we appreciated the chance to see these beautiful places, the experience did not meet our expectations. The tour was scheduled to start at 8:30am, but we didn’t leave until 9:00. Although advertised as a maximum of 16 people, there were 19 in the van, which made the journey uncomfortable. The vehicle itself struggled on the mountain roads, moving very slowly and making the drive feel longer than it should have. Time at the stops was quite limited. We often felt rushed and didn’t have enough time to enjoy the sites or…”

“This day trip was well worth the money! Tony our guide was so knowledgeable. He made this experience so memorable and gave us information that we won’t forget. Not sure what we expected but was far better than we had imagined. Top tip - cover yourself in mozzy repellent before you leave for the ruins.”

“With a good guide this could have been a nice day. Our guide spoke excellent English, but that’s where it ended. She was a poor communicator and caused our group of 20 to spend the day confused and ill informed. This tour was certainly not what we’ve come to expect from Viator over the many years we have used them.”

“We had a fantastic experience on our tour in Albania! Traveling with our 9-month-old, we were so impressed with how professional and well-organized everything was. The tour guide made everything smooth and stress-free, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful balance between planned activities and free time to relax and explore on our own. It was the perfect combination for our young family – we especially liked Gjrokaster, a very beautiful place with great food. Highly recommend!”

“This was a great hiking tour - the main hike was truly incredible with amazing views and it was great learning more about Albania. The guest houses were comfortable and food delicious and generous portions. The tour ran very smoothly, we had an injury in our group and the guide went above and beyond to make sure they got back safely. Daniel, our guide, was a very interesting and knowledgable man and truly made the tour unique. I would recommend moderate fitness for the tour as main hike is tough, but well worth it, and you are required to carry your bags (so pack light!)”

“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…”
