It wasn't the best day to visit Permet and Gjirokaster because of the rain but our guide and owner of Leka Tours, Kevin makes the best out of this day for us. His english is very well and its easily to communicate with him
Permet and Gjirokaster are simply to beautiful to dont visit when you are in the South Albania. So when you are in the Saranda ask for Leka Tours and Kevin.

So glad I heard about these thermal baths and that Leka Tours took me there. From start to finish it was a great day. Aleksia, the guide, and Kevin, the driver, are very kind and very good at what they do. They were more than happy to tailor the day to suit my desires, and provided top rate service. The baths should not be missed, as the setting is lovely and the waters are believed to be curative. I have been on tours with three different companies in Albania, and Leka Tours is now my favorite. Faleminderit for a wonderful day!

It was a very good experience! We enjoyed this one-day trip so much. We didn't have much time so KEVIN was very helpful as a guide. He made us discover wonderful spots, with lots of humour and a very good company. We recommend this agency and its guides.
Thanks again!
