It was an amazing experience. Our guide Artol was so knowledgeable and amiable. He was patient through the hike as well and the views at the end of it all were so beautiful! Definitely give this a try when in Tirane, it’s a good way to spend some time outside the city and see the hidden parts.

Bris was an amazing tour guide. Funny, knowledgeable and safe. The bus ride to the trailhead was fun and the hike was great. We highly recommend this tour and ask for Bris when you book it.
