What To Expect
Lake Bovilla
Lake Bovilla, also known as Bovilla Reservoir, is a hidden gem in Albania. It provides most of the drinking water for the capital, Tirana. We will pick you up from the hotel in Tirana and will drive towards the lake Bovilla for about 1 hour, 20 km from Tirana. The first half of driving is a normal asphalt road, but as soon as we leave the center of Kamez the road will be mainly gravel with some wholes but easy even for the normal cars. When we reach the Dam of Bovilla lake, we have a nice stop for a photo with nice background over the lake and the mountains surrounding the lake.
Mt. Gamti is located in the vicinity of Tirana, north of Mt. Dajti and Mt. Brari and south of Mt. Kruja This hike is challenging and it caters mostly to experienced & conditioned hikers. The hard work gets a nice reward with the amazing views of Lake Bovilla on the east side, Mount Dajti on the south and the Adriatic coast, west, on a clear day. Hiking the mountain will be maximum 1 hour. The track to hike is a simple level where every step gives us a more beautiful view as we reach the top. We will spent some time to get the best photos on 3 spots on the top of the mountain. After visiting the lake and Gamti mountain, we can enjoy a lunch in one of the 2 local restaurants around the lake. Return back to Tirana will be from the same road.

Fraudulent - do NOT use BTOURS

1.00Calling it a 'day tour' is fraudulent. We paid £44 each to have someone drive us up to the mountain in silence and tell us to go up some steps to a cliff edge. We could have driven up there ourselves and done it for much cheaper. There was no hike. There was no tour. Do NOT pay for this 'tour'. We had the option of being picked up for free, but within 18 hours of the 'tour', one of the BTOURS workers messaged us and told us that we have to pay €25 for them to pick us up (taxis usually cost €10). When we rightfully refused, he was extremely rude, then made us go to a petrol station 20 minutes from our hotel to be picked up. The only reason we did the tour was because we were unable to cancel, as BTOURS' scam tactics happened within 24 hours of the 'tour'. We were taken advantage of by scummy tactics from BTOURS. The car was extremely unsuitable for driving up and down the route to the mountain. It was extremely rocky and some of us felt like we would vomit. While the views were stunning, it was not worth paying £44 each. I implore anyone reading this review to please boycott BTOURS; they overcharge and lie about their day trips. They will probably respond to this with sophistry and aggression.
