2.Full-Day Louis Luxury Yacht Tour from Saranda

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 6 reviews · 7 hours · from $29Best value

Set out from Saranda at 10:30 AM on Louis Yacht Group’s three-deck boat. You’ll stop at Cape Qefali, Krorëz Beach, Kakome Bay, and Rrojdhe for photos, swimming, and shore time, with music, foam, sun decks, restrooms, and optional lunch.

“Very unprofessional service. I booked and paid for a boat trip, and they cancelled without any notice or explanation. I only found out when I showed up. This completely ruined my plans for the day. No proper communication and no respect for customers. Would not recommend.”

3.RED LINE: VIP daily tour with SUV: Vlore-Gjirokaster-Permet

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 12 hours · from $223Top rated

Travel from Vlorë in a small SUV group of up to 10 people with an English, Albanian, Italian, or French-speaking guide. See Gjirokastër Castle, relax at Bënja’s hot springs, enjoy Albanian food, and stop for coffee in Këlcyrë. Guides including Kleard and Gladiola are praised for personal service.

“Just absolutely perfect from start to finish! A very personalised experience with a lot of freedom to explore too, and a chance to see some of Albania’s sights and beauty with someone who is very knowledgeable and passionate about their country. Kleard made our whole trip - so many little thoughtful gestures that just went above and beyond and made the trip incredibly memorable. Definitely the best day tour I’ve done so far and I cannot recommend it enough!”

“I first booked and went on the Mt Gamti and Bovilla Lake tour and I was so happy with this first tour that I ended up booking to go to Berat and Lake Belshi with him that night for two days later. I had an absolutely amazing day with Izet again. He took the scenic route instead of the highway, through all the olive tree groves and lakes. The Berat Castle is fantastic and interesting, I highly recommend to visit here on your trip to Albania, but especially with Izet. He took more great photos for me as well. We didn't end up doing the winery which is listed on…”
