Aferdita was a brilliant guide, very knowledgeable and very funny. We had a great day, Butrint is definitely worth visiting if you can at all, and the lunch and time for drinks in Saranda was lovely! perfect day trip for anyone staying in Corfu for a few days :) I'd recommend bringing plenty of water and some snacks. For anyone that meets the group at the port rather than getting a pick up, make sure to pick up your physical boarding pass from the guide outside of the port building!

5 out of 5 stars

The meeting point was difficult to find because everyone sent me to the checkpoint and the boarding tickets were distributed outside the port building. The employee didn't have a badge. It was very nice and interesting. Fatmira in particular deserves praise for her excellent French and great knowledge. She was also helpful and approachable at all times. Good trip

5 out of 5 stars

The day was really good, Andrea was on time and really lovely and bubbly. I loved his energy and he paid attention to detail, took care of everyone and was accommodating to our needs. He also takes fabulous pictures, so if you’re a solo traveler, that’s a pro to book them. Overall 10/10 experience for me and my friend 🔥😊
