What a bunch of thugs! Trip booked before 2.30pm. After a long wait we are told an hour later that the tour cannot take place because there were no boats available! Just wait a little longer because we were offered a private tour... but that was arranged outside the manager of the agency. The rude-mouthed manager who spoke to us and could live with a negative review! We drove to Dhermi and booked a private tour for less money and much nicer. Highly recommended if you don't want to be dropped off or sit like sardines in a can on a boat
Hi there. We understand your frustration but you didn't book directly with us. You booked with our parner ( on the street) and because of miscommunication with him we didn't take your reservation and all our boats were not available at that time. You didn't booked here, online or in our office because that day we had already blocked the availability. Thank you!
Tour was fantastic! Guide was very knowlegable about history. The speed boat is rocky at moments bit it was so nice. Not recomended for older people. Overall 10/10
A wonderful boat ride with knowledgeable and friendly staff. The swimming break from the boat was also great, and the cave was impressive. A successful afternoon
The boat was fine, not overcrowded. The guy piloting the boat was pleasant but silent. No explanations or history given. The music was very loud and not for me but others loved it. The cave was stunning as was the little beach at Sazan island. Things went wrong after that. The ‘beautiful’ beach was accessed by a route march past major building works and over a large, muddy trench followed by walking half a mile along a dirty beach to what was , effectively, a building site with sun beds. Clearly the company have bought it with a view to running the whole show but this was not a beautiful beach with crystal clear water. It was sited close to a huge boatyard with extensive works going on. I felt sorry for the staff who worked very hard to sell the experience but we felt as if we’d been kidnapped. We had to wait here till the boat returned with the next group of victims. An experience but not a good one.
September tourism now declining, I enjoyed the food, the coves, the people, most know Italian whether they have relatives or have worked, In the tourist area the streets are beautiful. With two long tunnels positioned, to reach Saranda with villages inside white after the tunnels vil mare is even more beautiful The only thing where the cost was exaggerated was the rent of the car I would not recommend local agencies ... and ... careful driving the Albanians
The boat trip was as advertised and was a great half day. The cave is very picturesque, unfortunately government rules dont allow you to swim in there. We made a couple of stops one at a beautiful island and beach for 30 minutes, and another for approx 2 hours 30 which allowed plenty of time to get lunch at a restaurant / sunbathe / swim in the sea and relax
Captain Benjamin was a perfect guide and gave us a day we won’t soon forget! We boated all over the area and explored sea caves and hidden beaches.
Very good roadtrip in a fast boat, music, and water bottle or beer/soda provided. Stop at the beach with quite long restaurant (2h30) so it is to be expected that you will eat here.
The boat trip itself was very nice. We were supposed to go swimming in a cave, but once in the cave it turned out you weren't allowed to swim there. Floated in that cave for 20 minutes. Then sailed to an island, dropped there. The description said to go snorkeling but there were no masks, they were apparently in another boat. With pain and effort they found 1 more child model mask in the boat that did not fit. The part where you were allowed to swim was the size of a paddling pool. Well then 2 hours is a very long time. It doesn't match the description at all. A pirate story would be told but that story is ragged in one sentence.
the best experience ever! great guides and professional staff! must try ifnu are in vlore ! the best choice in this city !
