5.00It 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!
Beautiful Views and a Great Adventure

5.00We had a fantastic excursion to Gamti Mountain and Bovilla Lake. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the views from the top were well worth the hike. Bovilla Lake was stunning, with beautiful turquoise water surrounded by mountains, making the whole experience feel really special. The trip was well organized and a great way to spend the day exploring Albania’s natural beauty. It was a perfect mix of adventure, fresh air, and amazing photo opportunities. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area — a great experience from start to finish.

5.00Very nice trip & hike! The hike to lake Bovilla was with our tourguides Landi & Irvi. Both where great gents, really fun to be arround with. A lot of laughter during the trip, so thanks for that. The pickup was right on time. We spend almost the whole day with this beautiful collored lake, the viewpoints where amazing. Great stories, also about history of Albania, f.e. from our tourguides during the drive and hikes. Highly Recommended!

5.00People said it was the highlight of their time in Tirana so I decided to try it. It was for me too! I LOVED everything! both of our guides were thoughtful, informative, entertaining, very kind, and funny. The hike itself was incredible and I would totally do it again in the summer. The lake looks more unreal the higher you go.. There's also an amazing restaurant by there where I had the most delicious goat meat in my life. They raise their own goats by the mountains. A 500GM of soft grilled meat with a huge bowl of Greek salad cost me less than $20 and I didn't want to leave. Before the hike, our guide texted us all the details and showed us our photos of our bus along with directions for the meeting point, then they returned us to the same point. If you're in Tirana, THIS is the day trip to take with Albania Dream Tours ❤️
Despite car breakdown a very nice day

4.00The guide and driver were very nice. However, the car (compared to other suppliers) was quite old and tight and dangerous overheating developed along the way. We walked the short missing piece and then came back well with ddm car. Nevertheless, I recommend better maintenance of the vehicles
