This was a last minute booking as the forecast wasn't good for the day. We were collected from our hotel front and the bus was slightly early but happy to wait. He transferred us to the port where someone was waiting to advise us all where to queue for passport control. There's a duty free shop after that, prior to boarding the boat. We were on the boat for about an hour and there you had to pay €10 port tax as you got on. There were toilets and a bar on board. On the other side you disembark and go to the bus that has tour guides in your language (English and German on one bus, French and Russian the other). The bus drives everyone the short distance to a local cafe where those who plan to do the day trip can have a toilet break and drink before driving on for about 30 mins to Butrint. The guides provide regular commentary and walk you round the ruins at Butrint explaining the history. After about 90 mins you head back to the same cafe for a lunch. Drinks are not included but are v cheap circa €1@. After lunch the bus drives up a nearby hill where there are good views across to Corfu and a castle ruin. Short stop there then a return to town for about 90 mins free time before catching the bus back to the port for the return crossing and transfer back to your hotel.
Overall the trip was very good. Only downside was the delay leaving Corfu, this was poorly organised, which meant we were late leaving and then had no free time in Saranda.
Discovered when I got to Sidari that I could have booked this slightly cheaper and gone by hydrofoil in half the time. The boat I was on wasn't great but to be fair, I saw my first, in the wild, dolphins. That was amazing. if you go you should probably pay the extra and go on archaeological trip. in fact it should just be built in as a given. I didn't go on the trip and had to spend 6 hours in a small seaside town that really had little to offer. Positives were the aforementioned dolphins and I can tick the box for another country. negatives. nothing to do for 6 hours, poor boat and guide and being made to stand in the sun for an hour at passport control on return leg.
Albania is a beautiful country and the trip was easy. We opted for the archaeological site tour as well which was very interesting and the guides had a depth of knowledge with excellent English. Downside- queuing to get on the boat whilst the staff tried to sell the tour extension as you board which took ages. From memory this was not available to purchase in advance on the viator site which if it was, would speed up the process and then not require such an early start.
