    I enjoyed the trip very much. The Blue eye was very pretty, very blue. It lives up to its name. Ksamil was also nice but not our thing. The pictures are misleading. The beach is full of clubs and you have to search for a public space to swim. If you like clubs and bars at the beach than this is for you. We prefer a more calm beach

    Grandpa was a perfect guide—everything was very clear, with great explanations. Thank you for the wonderful tour.

    Went with my partner and our two teens – honestly, we weren’t sure what to expect but this tour was a BLAST. Our guide (can’t remember his name, sorry!) had so many stories, some funny, some kinda wild. The bus was suuuper comfy and had AC, which was a relief ‘cause it got HOT by noon. Ksamil’s water is next-level clear, like, you can see your toes even when you’re up to your waist. Saranda was more chill, we grabbed some pastries from a bakery near the main square (they were still warm, drool). The Blue Eye was the real jaw-dropper though – the color doesn’t look real in pics but in person it’s even more EPIC. Only tiny thing – we felt a bit rushed at the Blue Eye, woulda loved 20 more mins there. Still, 10/10 for the day.

    Took this tour solo while backpacking. Big plus: group wasn’t huge, so you didn’t feel like a herd of sheep. Got to chat with a few other travelers too. The guide did a good job explaining stuff, but I wish they’d stop at more local food places – ended up grabbing a quick sandwich at a gas station, not the best. Saranda’s views = WOW. Ksamil was a bit crowded (even in November, sheesh) but worth it. Blue Eye is wild, water so blue it looks fake. If you’re into nature vibes, it’s def worth the trek.
