Great trip with amazing views throughout. Everything was well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. The guide (Belinda) was friendly, helpful, and communicated clearly the whole time, which made the experience even better. A really enjoyable trip overall.

Very nice experience but confirmations of times and place of pick-up arrive the day before the excursion quite late

Amazing, guide was really nice and we have enjoyed our hike and the time at the restaurant as well as his explanations regarding Albania and its culture.

Nothing but a shared (and expensive) taxi between Tirana and the lake. Absolutely no explanation or assistance on site. Travelers were forgotten both on the outbound and return journeys: simply providing a meeting point and counting the guests before the bus departs was not part of the plan. Luckily, some travelers were thoughtful 😅 We do not recommend this "tour."
