Top Saranda Walking Tours

Very good service of the Company. This was the highlight of our holidays in Albani. We had a paddle tour with our guide and he suggested us a day trip to Gjirokaster , a UNESCO site which was absolutely magnificient. You should try this tour.Note: book in advance. They are almost full in the summer and you'd badely find seats.

Ari was an excellent guide in Gjirokastra! Knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city’s history, Ari made the tour engaging and memorable. Highly recommend for an insightful and enjoyable experience!

Ari is everything you would want in a guide. Very knowledgeable, very friendly and easy going. Flexible to meet your needs. Great guy.

This is such a fantastic tour! Ari is an amazing guide and he kept my 2 teenage kids and myself entertained for the whole day. He is extremely knowledgable and adapted our trip to our needs. We took the tour from Tirana to Sarande which was a great way to make the trip without needing to do the drive myself while also seeing so much on the way. Thank you so much Ari!

Ari, our guide, was fantastic. Gave me a proper history lesson on the drive and had plenty of other knowledge during the day. All 3 locations were worth the time.Blue Eye has a train for those worried about the walk. My favourite part was gjirokaster bazaar, lovely place to walk around, and definitely take Ari's recommendation for lunch.

Ari is the only guide you need for Southern Albania - he is the most thoughtful, interesting, helpful and practical guide possible. Nothing was too much trouble as he effortlessly guided me through the complicated but fascinating history of his country, answering questions patiently and in a most captivating manner. He also expertly guided his trusty Nissan through the challenging streets of Gjirokaster! I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, particularly as Ari has such a passion for his job. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Ari is an amazing tour guide. Informative, kind, patient, funny. It was truly a treat to go on this tour and spend the day exploring the beautiful country of Albania. Thank you so much Ari for all of the memories and information about Albania. I learned and experienced so much in just one day. Highly recommend!

My family and I did a tour to Blue Eye, Gjirokaster and Lekursi Castle. All these places are must see. Our guide Valentina was very professional, talkative and very knowledgeable. We adored her passion and her love for her country. We would highly suggest this tour with Valentina.

We actually did a 3-day tour of Albania with Ari of A Tour to Remember. If you want a supremely knowledgeable, kind, fun, safe guide to share his deep love for his country with you, Ari is your tour guide. We were 2 couples, MDs and Ph.D.s all, and there wasn’t a question we asked that Ari couldn’t answer or a subject on which we engaged, from Dia Lipa, to Enver Hoxha-era bunker technology, to world religions, to Albanian pandemic-era vaccine perspectives and public health (and many more) which Ari didn’t lead the charge. He showed us breathtaking scenery and shared fascinating history and local customs during our time together. He was the perfect ambassador for Albania. Please feel free to message me if you have questions. I so very highly recommend booking with Ari!

10/10 recommend. We had limited time in the Saranda region and wanted to focus our tour in just the blue eye and Gjirokastra - Ari was able to customize a trip that fit our needs. Both locations were incredible - a must see. He is extremely personable and very easy to talk with. We enjoyed learning about the places we were visiting and Albania as a whole with him as he is very knowledgeable. Couldn’t recommend booking with him enough!

Hit the mark from every angle, the tour offers a personalized experience, it went great a lot of sightseeing 📸 and information about each of them

This to our in Albania was the best day of our holidays there. Gjirokaster city was a highlight of all places and the I loved the Albanian food. Our guide was very professional, careful and friendly too. When you go to Albania I suggest you to try this tour as you save a lot of time and but you visit the best of south Albania.

My friend and I went to Tirana for the weekend, and we’re glad that we booked this full day tour with Ari. HE IS LITERALLY THE BEST GUIDE EVER!! He picked us up at the airport and started the tour right away. While on our way to Gjirokastër, he started telling us about the history of Albania and its people, which made the tour more interesting. He made sure that we were comfortable and our tummies full during the trip. He bought us snacks, water, and provided our lunch at a local restaurant and, I swear, it was one of the BEST MEALS I ever had! I can’t recommend Ari enough. He is nice, funny, and easy to get along with.

We are amazed of how beautiful Albania is. After doing a paddle tour with Ari in Ksamil, we suggested us to visit Gjirokaster city and The Blue Eye natural Park. We were so happy with the paddle tour so we decided to do another tour with him.Gjirokaster is absolutely a MUST DO. Also, The Blue Eye is really a highlight of South of Albania. The traditional food is lovely. Ari tought us a lot about albanian history and culture. He is very knowledgeable guy and so friendly. We had a wonderful time in Albania and all of this, thanks to Ari.Thank you my friend!

This was literally the best way to experience the sites in Albania! Ari and Valentina are the best tour guides and truly felt like friends by the end of the day. They surprised us with a cake a lunch for our anniversary which was just so sweet! Every stop was beautiful and if I could I would give it 20 out of 10 stars. If you read this make sure to ask for the "Alison Experience" I promise you won't be disappointed and will definitely get a couple laughs! 😉

Our group of senior ladies thoroughly enjoyed our private tour from Sarande with A Tour To Remember Albania [privatetoursalbania@gmail.com] O I knew nothing about Albania when planning it, but it was wonderful from the ancient ruins, excellent, personable tour guide and even the weather. Highly recommend!
