5.00We are a family of 3 from California and we were so excited to do our first activity in Tirana. Fijona and her driver were amazing and so patient and informative and kept with us the whole time. It was easy and quick communication prior to our tour. They gave us interesting facts about the history of the lake and the mountain. It was an incredible view you will not regret! So it's also work but well worth it. Thank you again Fijona!

5.00I’m traveling for a wedding in Albania with my friend and boyfriend and had the most amazing time on this excursion. Our tour guide, Fjona, made our experience even better by taking extra time out to teach us new words and phrases in Albanian. She checked in on us throughout the experience to make sure we had everything we needed and offered to take pictures for us, too. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking to experience the beauty of both Albanian terrain/nature and hospitality.
Great excursion!

5.00It was great from start to finish. They send you information before, during, and after the tour. The pick-up was smooth, the excursion really amazing, and the refreshing swing afterwards was the best part! Nik was such a great tour guide, and I think the service provided was top-notch.
