5.00Francesco was a great guide - entertaining and ready to jump in to help when needed! Very knowledgeable about Tirana’s history, and happily answered all our questions. Lake Bovilla was gorgeous, and Francesco carefully guided us through the hike up to the viewing point. Highly recommend this tour for those up for an adventure with proper shoes (not flip flops or a dress!).
We waited an hour for pick up and no body showed and unable to contact tour operator absolute waste of our time and momo

4.00My friend and I had a wonderful day with our guide Mikel and two other visitors. The road to Bovilla lake was busy and parts are in a very bad condition but Mikel travelled safely. We travelled in his car which was sometimes challenged by the bad road. Mikel was warm and friendly and answered all our questions. He was very patient in Kruje when we strolled through the Kruje bazaar and castle. Overall and wonderful day 💞
Must try

5.00Michael was brilliant .. the most kind and patient tour guide I’ve met .. he picked us from our place and took us the lake .. we headed to Krujë afterwards and had a nice meal together .. visited the old bazar and the castle and headed back home .. this tour would be more enjoyable on a cool weather

5.00The guys on the tour were very prepared and helpful, the organization of the day was perfect, they let us go up calmly explaining everything and more to us during the coach trip, a few welcome bottles and an excellent lunch in a very nice city with a lot of interesting history. Next time I'll be happy to use the same agency 10/10

5.00Mikel was a very interactive tour guide and did not rush the tour. Parts of the Gamti mountain hike was challenging but Mikel was there to provide a helping hand. Once the hard work of climbing is over, you are rewarded with amazing views. Mikel also explained the history of Kruje Castle whilst giving us a tour guide of the museum.
Mostly great

4.00The tour itself was great but beginning was a mix up. The time was changed from 9 to 8AM. Info sent by Whatsup which I do not use. So received a call and I had to rush out without all I needed. The early roads were bumpy and the mountain road scary. I did no hike to look out because had not time to switch shoes and I am old. Beautiful mountains. Kruja Castle and bazaar were good and I bought a few small rugs. Guide Mario was great. Apparentlly guide not given client email so alternative to WhatsUp apparently not available. Many with country code +1 may not have WhatsUp.
