2.Butrint, Blue Eye, Ksamil and Lekuresi Castle Tour From Saranda

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 102 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $81

A 6-hour Saranda day trip to Lëkurësi Castle, the Blue Eye, UNESCO Butrint, and Ksamil, with onboard Wi-Fi and flexible timing.

“Great private tour! We were met at the port by Mara, the owner / manager, and I knew immediately we were in good hands. She walked us a short way to their office where we met our driver, Neri. He was the height of professionalism. Such a kind person, so considerate of our every need, knowledgeable and willing to go off the beaten path when I asked. I'd been to the Blue Eye before and I had no idea there was a beautiful hike through the forest above. We left the crowds behind and I got to see meadows, wild flowers, incredible views, with no one else around. It was…”

Private Saranda tour to Blue Eye, Lëkurësi Castle, UNESCO Butrint, and Ksamil. Blue Eye and castle tickets included.

“We did not get to the Blue Eye because it poured when we arrived. The gate keeper refused to let us ride in. What a pity! We went to the ruin, it was well preserved and our driver/guide was very knowledgeable. The grounds were muddy and slippery. Other than having our feet soaked, we enjoyed the tour.”

4.Private Day Tour of Saranda Gjirokaster and Butrint from Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $251

Private day trip from Tirana to Gjirokaster, Saranda and Butrint, with tickets included, English-speaking guide, and a scenic southern drive.

“This was an amazing experience! I was traveling on my own and the pace of the day accommodated my interests and comfort. The route to Gjirokaster was spectacularly scenic! After an opportunity to enjoy the fort, we continued to Butrint. In the exploration of these two locations, Albania's rich history was presented by my driver/guide. When I wasn't learning about the sites, I was given the chance to ask about more current history and was offered insight into the experience of Albanians today. We lunched in Saranda and headed back to Tirana along the Albanian Riviera as the sun set. Wonderful locations and conversations.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 27 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $63Best value

Ancient Butrint UNESCO tour from Saranda with hotel pickup, air-conditioned car, expert guide, and a focused 2 to 3 hour visit.

“Our tour guide was amazing and gave us the best tour we could have wished for! Even the more critical ones in our group were mesmerised by his engaging storytelling - we really can’t recommend Gert enough! We had some trouble at our pick-up spot. First of all the office hadn’t received the tour we ordered the night before. We were supposed to go at 10:30, but ended up with being rebooked to 16:45. Because the guide had difficulties with locating our apartment, the tour first started at 17:30. Waiting was frustrating, especially since we only were in contact with the viator office, and not the guide directly. We were…”

Guided day trip from Saranda to UNESCO Butrint and the Ksamil beaches, with pickup, a live guide, and easy logistics.

“We took the ferry from Corfu to Albania and were nervous about the country but our tour guide met us at the ferry port with a sign and a massive smile. She walked us around the local area while we waited for the driver giving us little snippets of information making us feel very comfortable in a very new land. On the tour we had plenty of opportunity to ask questions and stop to look at things or take photos. We weren't rushed. The Ancient City of Butrint is a must see! Honestly, it blew my mind. We hadn't researched Albania at all but spontaneously decided to catch the ferry…”
