I really enjoyed this tour , blue eyes were so beautiful and Gjirokastra was interesting. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, made our day great . Highly recommend this tour .

Would 1000% recommend local friends Albania. Their planning, local in depth knowledge and patience is commendable. Skerdi and Albie were extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. They were willing to answer all questions, take us to the best places, even made us hear local songs and took us to good restaurant!

Absolutely amazing private trip to Gjirokaster with Zeni. He was on time for pickup and went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable. He was knowledgeable and provided good details about the castle and the blue eye.

From my first inquiry to the post-tour follow-up, the customer service provided by Local Friends. They promptly addressed all my queries, customized aspects of the tour to my preferences, and ensured I felt valued and heard throughout the entire process.

A wonderful trip to the historical city of Gjirokastra learning so much about the culture and also enjoying the fresh waters and nature of the blue Eye. 100%reccomend!

Young & humble tour guide who shares every topic. A definite gain by spending a day out. The sweetness of spring water is unforgettable.

Our tour guide Skerdi was excellent. Not only vey knowledgeable of Albanian history, but Skerdi gave us a personal insight into Albania today through sharing many perspectives from a younger generation. Skerdi personalized our trip back along the Riviera coast since he grew up there. A lover of Albanian polyphonic folk singing, we ended up driving back to Tirana singing along with a recording of his neighborhood choir. He was fun, genuine and gave us a feel for authentic Albania. Also, Skerdi was an excellent driver which we appreciated.

Throughly enjoyed my trip with Xhuliano. He’s super knowledgeable and passionate. Highlight of my trip

We enjoyed the tour and our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, however we were a little shocked when the vehicle turned out to be a small hatchback (which for 4 people + the tour guide, ended up being an uncomfortably tight squeeze given we spent a total of about 9 hours in the car). We also didn't feel particularly safe given 1 seatbelt was broken and another was jammed. I think these things definitely need to be improved for the future. The price was also pretty steep given the above conditions.

An absolutely fantastic tour that I would definitely recommend. The Gijorkastra was a brilliant place and lots to explore, followed by Blue Eye, a unique place. The countryside is amazing and awe inspiring. Julio was the tour guide and apart from being knowledgeable about the places he was great to talk to and very friendly. A credit to his job. If you also get the chance to go into Sandero and along the Albanian Riviera grab the chance as once in a lifetime extra part of the tour. Thanks for making such a great day.

Easily my favorite day trip during my stay in Albania. Really beautiful scenery throughout the south. And Xhuljano was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. Grateful for the experience!

Fabulous day trip with Skedir who was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He kindly drop us to Sarande for no extra charge and gave us a lot of recommendation. The car was very comfortable. I absolutely recommend!

The trip was absolutely great! Juliano, our guide, was super thoughtful, patient and knowledgeable. Gijrokastra is a very pretty town surrounded by the mountains with a little bazar where you can shop for souvenirs. Blue Eye is very beautiful and definitely worth seeing !

We had good experience with this tour. Easy to book, the tour operator and tour guide were very responsive and supportive. Gjirokastra and Blue Eye are worth seeing.

Great tour of this two highlights of Albania, Gjirokastra as a UNESCO heritage was really impressive to us, we also enjoyed the walk into the nature park of Blue Eye and the beautiful spring.

I went there with a few friends to experience albania better and loved the views! The boys were very kind and friendly and we felt safe and relaxed.

One of the best experiences ever! I would recommend for anyone that wants to do something special with their friends or even family. Both of the guys were so social and friendly, they were the perfect guide and helped us so much with everything! so communicative! A really memorable experience Albania is so beautiful everyone should come and visit it me and my husband were so surprised!☺️

Beautiful town that is an absolute must see on your trip to Albania, Skerdi took care of the logistics and knew the easiest ways for us to see all the sights, enjoy some shopping and eat great food. He took all the thinking out of the trip, allowing us to enjoy (and take great photos)
