    Our guide Sam was wonderful and our driver was also lovely and an excellent driver. We felt very safe. The itinerary was good and met everyone’s needs as we needed to get people to the airport on the Friday so Vlorë worked well. I think it was a shame that we ended up back in saranda on the first night as we had already spent a few nights there. I know there was no accommodation at Lukove beach ( which was a highlight) but we may have been able to move further along the coast without retracing our steps. I should have asked more about the accommodation in my messaging. Otherwise it was all great.

    This is a well organized tour of Albania. Hotels were uniformly clean, comfortable and well appointed. Persephone impressed us in particular. It’s a new establishment very well appointed and a view from the balcony across the valley to the sea is to die for. The food was delicious, freshly cooked by Maria and very reasonably priced. All great all in all a great experience.
