Perfect way to explore the ruins. Our tour guide was very informative and fun. We walked away learning a tad more about the roman history in the region.

Good communication through WhatsApp. Tour guide picked us up at our hotel. Drove us to the tour destination after picking up the other participants. Stopped and got us all water. Paid the admission fee (tour description said we would have to pay separately). Gave a informative and well paced tour. Would have returned us to our hotel but we requested a different location which the tour guide accomodated. Overall good experience. Only negative was the coffee stop, in that it was a good bit out of the way and not very interesting.

The tour of Butrint was good, the guide gave interesting information about what we were seeing and was mindful of the heat, always taking us to shaded areas when possible. But the booking itself was totally disorganized and poorly communicated to me and to the guide. At 10pm the night before my tour I got a message saying the tour would start an hour later than my 8:30 booking. No explanation or check to see if that worked for me. Luckily it did, so I went at 9:30. However, during the tour it was revealed to me that the group was on a full day tour of several places, when I only booked a “2-3 hour” tour of Butrint alone. As such, I had to go with the group to a second location unplanned, and thankfully the guide agreed to drop me off at my hotel before taking the group to the next 3 stops. Because of this terrible coordination (the guide had no idea I had booked the shorter one stop tour), I ended up being on a 5 hour tour that started an hour late. Just very poor communication and organization on the part of the tour company, but again the guide was very helpful, informative and accommodating. No complaints about him specifically, and Butrint was very interesting.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
