Solo trip, youngest there and vledi (tour guide) was very friendly and accomodating - had frequent stops when necessary and we had plenty free time to explore at our own pace. Directions and pick up was seamless, and all speeches were detailed yet quick to the point

It was a wonderful trip, and the tour guide was really entertaining. It was hot, but the breeze up in the mountains was refreshing. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. I’d highly recommend coming here on a sunny day.

Our trip to Bovilla Lake was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to our amazing guide, Desi. From the very beginning, he impressed us with his friendliness, sense of humor, and professionalism. He managed to be approachable while clearly taking his responsibilities seriously. Throughout the hike, Desi created a safe and reassuring atmosphere. His clear explanations and calm presence made even the more challenging parts feel doable, and his positive attitude kept us motivated the whole way. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about everyone’s safety and enjoyment. If you’re planning a visit to Bovilla Lake, we can strongly recommend taking a tour with Desi. He truly elevates the entire experience and ensures you walk away with great memories.

It was an awesome experience despite slightly rainy weather. It was a relatively short hike for an amazing view. Desi was our tour guide. He kept the tour very organized and went above and beyond for everyone. There were handrails on steeper parts. Much needed! I would say on a rainy day, wear trippy shoes. The restaurant we stopped at had a great view. The price was fair. I would recommend it!
