Top Ksamil Tours & Sightseeing

This stand up paddle tour with the guide Ari was a wonderful experience. Ari waited for us on time in the agreed cafe and had good paddle boards with him. Ari was very friendly and patient also with a beginner (one of us). He gave very good instructions and it felt very safe. To start at the beach in Ksamil is ideal for stand up paddling. I would strongly recommend this tour.

Interesting and good fun trip

Wonderful experience. Angelino the guide was really nice and provided us with a lot of information and very interesting stories. Highly recommended!!!

My experience was great, they offered a great service and everything was well explained. Really appreciate all the good job from the driver and your guide.

Great tour - visited 4 places. The monastery was first, guide was knowledgeable, the amount of time there was good. Second stop - Blue Eye - beautiful. 50 Lek admission not included in the price. You can walk to the attraction or pay to take a train (300 leks each way). I recommend the train - you will do a lot of walking later on plus it is very hot. You can also go by e-bike (not sure of the cost). You can kayak there, do a long hike but no swimming. I found the amount of time there too short for kayaking and too long for just viewing it. Next stop - Gjirokaster. We had 2.5 hours there but would have like more time. Big climb up the hill, then 76 steps to get to the castle but worth it. Admission 500 lek. Beautiful castle and views. After, stroll the streets and have a nice traditional meal. We did not have time to see the mosque and would have loved more time in Gjirokaster. Final stop Lekursi Castle which is now a restaurant with amazing views. It is a short stop which is all you need. Finish, back at your meeting point. We had a great driver (tricky driving conditions) and an excellent guide (best one so far). Really recommend. Excellent pace.

Guide was very friendly. Enough time to explore the beautiful environment. The Blue Eye could be reached by a touristic train (tickets not included in the price) or on foot (short hike on a well paved path, hilly terrain). Sturdy shoes preferred if you want to view the Blue Eye from a higher vantage point, which I would recommend. No swimming allowed.

Erald, our guide, was very friendly and pleasant. He is a good driver and gave us all the necessary explanations to properly understand the cultural and historical facts of the locations. We also had enough time at all locations to do what you wanted, with clear agreements and time schedules. Lekursi Castle is very beautiful and offers a wonderful view, Blue Eye is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena I have ever seen, but it was quite crowded. The water is also extremely cold, since it is mountain water. Gjirokaster is a beautiful, old city, here you can also visit the castle for a small price and enjoy beautiful views.

we had a great day experiencing the attractions with Angelo. He was easy going and personable, we learned alot about albania and had fun doing it

SUP was one of the activities we were most looking forward to as we always try to paddleboard whenever we travel somewhere with beautiful water and this experience did not disappoint.A huge thank you to our guide who was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to change our booking from the previous day because I wasn’t feeling well.The route was beautiful, paddling from the shores of Ksamil out towards the Twin Islands with time to take some breathtaking sunset photos before heading back.The water, scenery and atmosphere were incredible and it was such a peaceful way to finish the day. Genuinely one of the experiences that made our trip.If you’re visiting Ksamil, especially around sunset, this is an absolute must!

The driver was very punctual; he took the time to show us and share a lot of things along the way about Albania and its history. Despite the heavy rainstorm, he did not shorten the excursion and continued to bring a lot of good cheer. Listening to our needs. I highly recommend it. We would have liked to exchange more with him, but our English is minimal, haha.

A private tour is a wonderful way to experience the beauty of the Blue Eye and it’s crystal clear waters. Lekursi Castle is perched on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea. The panoramic views are well worth the trip. The blue water in Ksamil, a coastal village in Albania is so inviting.

I had a great time visiting the Blue Eye and Lekuresi Castle! The whole tour was very well organized and easy to follow.The Blue Eye was amazing, with very clear and cold water. It is a very special place and perfect for photos and relaxing in nature. After that, we went to Lekuresi Castle, where the view is just incredible. You can see the whole city and the sea from the top.The guide was friendly and explained everything in a simple way, which made the experience even better.I really enjoyed this tour and I recommend it to everyone who visits the area!

We had an amazing tour to the Blue Eye and Gjirokaster, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The natural beauty of the Blue Eye was breathtaking, and Gjirokaster’s rich history and architecture were fascinating to explore. A special thank you to our guide Fatjon (Tony), who was outstanding throughout the day. His deep knowledge, friendly approach, and excellent organisation made everything smooth and enjoyable. The local food we had was absolutely delicious—authentic, fresh, and full of flavour. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of southern Albania with a top-notch guide!

Our fantastic guide Fatjon picked us up at the port and took us for a wonderful trip around. Very knowledgeable guy who told us a lot of interesting facts and stories as we drove around, and when we walked true the sights. Absolutely worth taking a trip with these guys 😊☀️

Great day out - culture, history, nature, lovely town. Well organised and knowledgeable guide thank you

Great experience! There were multiple meeting point options. The bus was comfortable and had AC. Each of the 4 stops on the tour was awesome! The guide was super nice and knowledgeable. Learned a lot and saw many beautiful things!
