Review of Saranda’s Butrint, Blue Eye, Ksamil and Lekuresi Castle tour, with practical advice on value, timing, guides and extra costs.

“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!”

“What a day with Jona! She is just precious! The drive from the port was quite long but we enjoyed the castle. Then the drive to the Blue Eye was insane! Take your Dramamine before this tour! The Blue Eye was pretty but be sure to take the train for €5 if you cannot walk a couple of miles. Then we drove another 20 minutes to Lukersi (spelling??) for a quick overlook and back to the ship. Total time was 9:00 am to 3:15 on the ship. Long day but overall we saw and learned a lot. Just take your Dramamine!”

“My mom and I booked a private tour, that way we got to decide how long to stay where, when to stop in between etc. Our guide Irena was the most wonderful guide you could ever hope for. Our driver added great information in Albanian which Irena translated for us. Butrint is a very unique experience I would recommend for anyone, the blue eye has many tourists but kind of feels like a must see of the area and the castle has a spectacular view! Best day of our trip, thank you!!!”

Review of Saranda’s Blue Eye, Lekursi Castle, and Ksamil tour, with practical advice on price, timing, transport, and guide Ari.

“First of all, I’m VERY late writing this review. our trip as in September 2022 and I forgot to leave a review when we returned home. Ari was such a great tour guide and we had such an amazing and unique experience with him….that I’m going back to write it now. Ari goes way above and beyond to customize the tour. He makes an effort be sure every person on the tour has something special for them. We were 4 adults age 55-73. We had a wide range of athletic ability and interest but Ari asked questions to understand what each person enjoyed and MAN did he deliver. The Blue…”

11.Experience Blue Eye , Lekuresi Castle and Taste Traditional Albanian Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $95

Explore Saranda’s Lekuresi Castle, Blue Eye spring, and Albanian wine tasting in four hours, with private transport, hotel pickup, and local flavors.

“The first two stops were nice. The castle had a great view and the blue eye is very beautiful. Our tour guides were very accommodating & their English was fantastic. I was quite disappointed with the winery, price & some other elements. The description was unclear and there’s an extra cost if you would like to have small paired foods with the wine. Nothing was set up for us when we arrived, it seemed like they were too occupied with the other larger groups on the property. There wasn’t really an explanation of the wines and wasn’t really a classic ‘tasting’. It felt like an inconvenience that we were there.…”
