Very nice knowledgeable guide who was also interesting, easy to talk to, good communicator. Sites were also intriguing-a nice mix of history/architecture and beach time in beautiful locations.

It was great getting to know the history of Butrint Archaeological Park. Aryanna was an excellent tour guide, very passionate, patient and knowledgeable. Our driver from the books store (sorry we did not catch his name) was a great driver. Pick up from each location was great and he recommend a great family restaurant for a seafood (yummy fried mussels) lunch. Thank you for a great visit.

Our guide was amazing, on time, informative, friendly and fun! Butrint was beautiful and the beaches at Ksamil were stunning. Be warned - you only stay in Ksamil for an hour and they charge around 15-20 euro for a sunbed, but we sat in a cafe/bar just off the beach and took turns to go for a swim which worked really well.
