    Amazing days in Albania

    It 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 🩷

    Extraordinary experience

    Incredible 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!

    Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you so much for choosing Aris Tours & Car Rental and sharing your memories with us! I’m happy you enjoyed the trip! And see you again in 10 years! ☺️

    My Favorite Day in Albania

    Wow! Aris Tours gave me an unforgettable experience on the Albanian Riviera. I 110% recommend this company. Elnejda was my tour guide and was very professional. She replied to inquiries quickly, allowed me to customize my itinerary, spoke perfect English, and was a very safe driver on the mountain roads. She is a local and took me to all the best spots on each beach we visit. Elnejda was very friendly and lovely to chat with, and even bought me water and a snack. I wouldn’t have been able to see these beautiful beaches without her! This was the highlight of my trip to Albania. I will be using Aris Tours on my next trip to the country.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much Alicia! I am very happy that you enjoyed and appreciated this trip with Aris Tours. It's always a pleasure to have clients like you so kind! And see you soon in Albania 🇦🇱

    Full Day Tour from Albanian Riviera/Borsh to Dhermi and Llogara: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Saranda.

    How much does Full Day Tour from Albanian Riviera/Borsh to Dhermi and Llogara cost?

    +

    Prices start at $223 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Saranda usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day Tour from Albanian Riviera/Borsh to Dhermi and Llogara take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Saranda is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Tour from Albanian Riviera/Borsh to Dhermi and Llogara worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Saranda, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour from Albanian Riviera/Borsh to Dhermi and Llogara?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day Tour from Albanian Riviera/Borsh to Dhermi and Llogara suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour from Albanian Riviera/Borsh to Dhermi and Llogara?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Saranda can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Saranda and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Tour from Albanian Riviera/Borsh to Dhermi and Llogara start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Saranda within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Saranda?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Saranda experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour Gjirokaster,Blue Eye & Lekursi Castle, Sarandë: Small-Group Boat Tour on Speedboat Swim & Snorkel Stops, 1-Day Tour in Blue Eye, Monastery, Gjirokaster and Lekursi Castle. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Saranda?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Saranda?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
