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.
