5.00We had an incredible experience hiking Mount Bovilla and soaking in the stunning views of the crystal blue lake below — truly breathtaking! What made the day even more special was our tour guide, Desi. We've been on many tours before, but Desi went above and beyond anything we've experienced. He was not only professional and punctual with clear communication from start to finish, but also incredibly kind, funny, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had a great time. From the smooth pickup and drop-off to guiding us the entire way with energy and care, he made the whole trip seamless and unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour — especially if you get Desi as your guide! He's the best.
Amazing Experience!

5.00My colleague and I had the pleasure of joining this tour, and it was an incredible experience. The scenery was breathtaking, and our tour guide, Irvi, did a fantastic job! He was entertaining and thoughtful toward those hiking at a slower pace. Midway through the hike, he let us rest to catch our breath while sharing an interesting story about Tirana and the artificial Bovilla Lake. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who appreciates nature and stunning views!
A wonderful day trip and great value!!

5.00We had Irvi as our guide and he was sensational! I highly recommend. Pickup location was organised and confirmed the night prior to the tour, the bus arrived on time. Irvi brought great energy to the group and the entire day. Views are breath taking and the hike is not that difficult :) Thanks for an amazing day out.
Poor communication

1.00By changing the pick-up location less than 24h before the start time, we were waiting as described to our hotel (especially this hotel chosen from their own list!) . We noticed that the pick-up location had changed a 10 minutes before departure. When we arrived 5 minutes after the changed location they had already left and we were completely left to our own devices without notice from the person in charge of our tour. No refund was given.
A must do for Tirane

5.00I had a wonderful time. The lake view is breathtaking. Our guide Irvi was very attentive and helpful. It’s much appreciated that he helped us to climb to the rock for nice photo shots and ensure everyone is safe. The driver drove carefully too although the road condition is rough. Highly recommended.
Amazing Hiking Tour to Lake Bovilla and Mount Gamti!

5.00I had a fantastic experience on this hiking tour! The scenery around Lake Bovilla and Mount Gamti was absolutely breathtaking — a perfect blend of nature, fresh air, and stunning views. Our guide, Irvi, made the entire experience even more memorable. He was fluent in English, incredibly helpful, and very caring throughout the hike. He shared a lot of interesting and informative insights about the area, which added a lot of value to the journey. At one point, I became too tired to continue the full hike. Irvi was extremely understanding and made sure I was safely settled at a mid-mountain restaurant while the rest of the group continued. That level of care and attention meant a lot and made me feel very well looked after. Highly recommend this tour — especially if you get Irvi as your guide!
