Ionian cruise lines personnel were polite, professional and courteous, front office went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and get us to meeting point.”

Visit Albania’s Blue Eye spring and Lekuresi Castle from Saranda on a short private tour with mountain, sea, and island views.

“We truly enjoyed our visit and tour of the national Park of Blue Eye & Lekuresi castle. Our guide, Jona and the company were fabulous. Jona was very informative and was a delight to spend our day with. She had a great suggestion to include Butrint National Archeological Park which was very interesting to see and truthfully the highlight of our day. We highly recommend this company and Jona….they were both most professional and informative. It was about a 5 hour tour, but for us the private tour was the way to go. Enjoy!”
