- JoannaMilstone0 contributionsHistory, nature and adventureWe had an amazing day out with Aris. All items on the itinerary are well worth it. My personal favourite was walking through the Albanian mountainside and visiting the Blue Eye spring. Would highly recommend both the trip and Aris!Written 19 September 2023
- Seaside221896335010 contributionsAmazing TourThe places on the tour were amazing and not to be missed. But more importantly was the enthusiasm and professionalism of our tour guide, Elnejda. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire day smooth, interesting, and fun. Plus she was able to give us insights into the history and culture of Albania. She definitely made this our happiest day in Albania!Written 17 July 2023
- A8611ULcameronh0 contributionsDay out in Saranda Aris Travel&T Butrint park/Blue eye/ Lekursi castleMy friend and I were blessed to be taken on adventure with Aris Travel & Tours, our tour guide Elnejda was more than we could possibly ask for. We went from exploring the history of the Butrint Archeological Park, to the vibrant and exhilarating Blue Eye in Saranda before ending the trip with the beautiful views from and of Lekursi Castle. Elnejda was the thing that brought everything together for us, we felt very comfortable from the first greeting and that perpetuated throughout. Being a very down to earth, patient and knowledgable guide. If we didn’t see the beauty of the city of Saranda before the tour, we absolutely do now, and hope to return. You can leave assured that you will very probably leave having no unanswered questions, great pictures and a day to treasure to the very end! Faleminderit shume Elnejda! The pleasure was absolutely ours!Written 17 July 2023

We booked the transfer airport Rinas to Saranda, we were 7 persons and we had the most comfortable road to Saranda! We definitely will choose it again and we will suggest it to all our friends.

- miroium20190 contributionsAmazing days in AlbaniaIt was an amazing experience, I truly recommend taking this tour so you don't have to worry about the itinerary and be sure didn't missed any important tourist spots 🩷Written 20 June 2023
- Sammythetraveler900 contributionsMost comfortable trip!I booked my ticket and after booked my airport transfer to go in Saranda with my family! We where 6 and we had the best experience and the most comfortable road after a long flight! Thank you so much! And definitely we will choose it again!Written 15 June 2023
- X7920XSalicea0 contributionsExtraordinary experienceIncredible tour with most amazing guide Elnejda! If you want to see Albanian sea side, and nervous about driving narrow roads of Albania (as we are) this is the most extraordinary experience for you! Not only this tour takes you through the whole riviera, but also you can discuss the stops and customize the experience a little bit. We are, for example, easily getting sun burns (yes, we use spf :)), so Elnejda changed the itinerary so we can tan during early morning hours. Moreover, during the tour we found out more about Albania and got best recommendations where to find best food and coffee. Overall, if you want a day tour filled with laugh, views, food, breathtaking landscapes - stop searching - this is it!Written 31 May 2023
- G9492INcourtneyg0 contributionsAll the sights around Saranda in one.This trip allowed us to visit all of the key sites around Saranda without the hassle (and time) of Albanian buses. We ended up being the only ones on the tour and Elnejda took us around to each site in the company branded car which was comfortable with AC. We were also provided with a bottle of water and Elnejda went out of her way to show us how to get tickets for the bus back to Tirana for the next day and recommend a delicious spot for Gyros for dinner. I will say if you are looking for information on the Butrint NP, this is not the tour for you, Elnejda guided us around tge Park but didn't provide a lot of info, the museum at the end has some great info in it.Written 30 May 2023

- Tour465310463240 contributionsHighly recommendAris Tours attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the tour. From seamless logistics to comfortable transportation, they ensured that the entire experience was hassle-free. I must commend Aris tour for their commitment to sustainable tourism practices. They emphasized the importance of preserving Butrint's natural and cultural heritage, encouraging responsible behavior among the visitors. This dedication to sustainability resonated with me, and I appreciate their efforts in protecting this historical treasure for future generations. In conclusion, my experience with Aris Tours and the Butrint tour was truly exceptional. The combination of a knowledgeable guide, the mesmerizing historical site, and the agency's commitment to sustainability made it a trip to remember. I highly recommend Aris Tours to anyone looking to explore the captivating world of Butrint and uncover the secrets of its rich history.Written 27 May 2023

Sözleştiğimiz saatte buluştuk ve yol boyu sohbet ederek gittik. İlgilenen hanım güleryüzlüydü ve her soruma bildiği kadarıyla cevap verdi. İngilizcesi de kolay ve anlaşılırdı. Arabada hep klima açıktı, camı açmak için izin istedi. Ayrıca kalede yanımızda gezdi, bizi hep yönlendirdi. Saatler konusunda oyalanmamıza rağmen hep anlayışlı davrandı. Misafirperver ve arkadaş canlısıydı. Çok memnun kaldık, tavsiye ederim :)
