5.00Reard and Altea were amazing! We only booked the night before and given that there was a hotel pickup, we were worried they wouldn’t see our tickets come through, but they messaged us very promptly to confirm everything, told us exactly what time we were meeting and were happy to answer any questions we had before and during the trip. They were very entertaining and knowledgeable about Albanian history and landscapes and made the hike very pleasant. Everything was efficient and they genuinely made the tour feel like a personalised experience. They even recommended a different drop off point after the end of the tour instead of the hotel so we wouldn’t waste the rest of the day. They sent us lots of names and pins for places to go on WhatsApp and were happy to help even after the tour had officially ended. I would definitely recommend them for an easy, enjoyable tour experience and would use again.
Wonderful experience

5.00Compliments to the guide Dion! He was the greatest. He and the driver Samir (?) took us safe up the mountain, through the bumpy roads and back to the hotel safe and well. The communication was very smooth, the pickup was exactly on time and Dion made the way to the lake so interesting by sharing a lot of information about Albania. I learned a lot on this tour and could recommend it!

5.00What a nice journey we had with guide Niko to the Bovilla Lake. Niko and driver Niko picked us up close to our hotel at 7.30 am. While driving Niko (guide) told us interesting facts about Albania and the area we drove trough. We stopped two times. First at a local store for some coffee and second at a bridge with an amazing view. The hike was steap, but it was worth it. The view was amazing and it was a good call from Niko to go early. After us there came a big crowd. Driver Niko guided us safely back. I recommend this trip if you want to see the beautiful view, but don't feel secure enough to drive the mountains yourself.
