- Xenia K0 contributionsVery personal and fantastic tour of SarandaFantastic tour of Saranda. My guide was a wonderful young lady who excelled by showing lots of knowledge about Saranda and Albanian history. I also leaened a lot about living in Saranda today. The tour is organized by a small family business. I really enjoyed the tour!Written July 20, 2024
- Snoops7890 contributionsGreat place to stayStayed at the Boutique Hotel Musee with the very accommodating host Will. Very clean property with friendly, generous staff who really make you welcome. Stunning balcony to sit and enjoy an espresso and Raki or delicious local breakfast. Close to the bazaar and old town with a short walk to the Castle.Written May 6, 2024
- Tea T0 contributionsVisit the ancient city of Butrint, and the beaches of Ksamil.Wonderful Ancient City! Very professional guide! Super positive energy everywhere! Amazing History of Aeneas of Troy...and Impressive Architecture. 🙏Written April 9, 2024
- thecurlygirltravels0 contributionsShort and Sweet?The tour picked us on time. But the drive to Butrint was dizzying because the driver was probably in a rush. However for the tour itself, the guide explained the national park well, highlighting the important parts. He was considerate and nice all throughout. We couldn’t go to certain areas because it was unsafe due to heavy rains the previous day. They only gave us an hour at Ksamil beach which was a bummer so we were a bit rushed (although you can probably ask to extend) and then they picked us up to drop off back at our hotel. We took nice pictures and it was still a memorable part of our Albania trip. 🙂Written September 13, 2023
- G7199WUsimonp0 contributionsCar rentalWe rented a car from this company for a couple of days during our stay in Saranda. Upon pick-up, the problem occurred that one of the front lights and also the brake lights were not working. We noticed this issue right away, and the staff asked us to drive to a mechanic in order to fix it. The issue was removed relatively smoothly, but of course it should be mentioned that a car should not be handed over with such issues and a company renting cars could be expected to check this in advance. In summary it did cost us about an hour and seemed very much avoidable. In addition on our trip we were stopped by the police as the car had a couple of unpaid tickets, which was a slight inconvenience. But same as the previous issue, it was fixed quickly by the staff, which is positive. In summary, prices are competitive and they do react quickly in case of issues that occur, even though to us it seemed these challenhes could have proactively been avoided in an ideal scenario.Written September 12, 2023
- JLM330130 contributionsCharming town!Gjirokastra is a charming town full of small places to eat and shops. We loved the style of the buildings and the ambiance. We had the chance to visit the castle as well. The castle was very cool to see. The drive to Gjirokastra from Sarande is pretty long and there is not much along the road until getting to the City; otherwise, it was great.Written May 5, 2023

- wandertheglobe0 contributionsTea Tours delivered five-star service from the very first contact!I reached out to Tea Tours to inquire about a private boat tour during my holiday in Saranda. Within minutes of sending the message, I had a response and a quote. Moreover, the agent was patient as I changed my request more than once. The representative was prompt, polite, and professional and the price was very competitive. Tea Tours is a great company; I encourage you to trust them with your travel needs.Written July 6, 2022
