  Had the most fantastic couple of days on this hiking trip with a great little group. Our guide Jozef was amazing, so much energy and humour, and the small group dynamic was lovely from the start. It’s an early morning pickup and a longish travel, but the scenery keeps you very occupied. We had great late lunch on arrival to the first guesthouse, and an afternoon walk for viewpoints in the valley. The huge advantage of going with the tour is how the logistics are all sorted and meals covered - only drinks not included. The climb from valbona to the top is moderately difficult, people of all ages taking the trail, but would recommend a good hiking boot for the grip and comfort. Jozef was awesome in keeping us on track and going as fast or slow as we wanted, and we all encouraged each-other to the top. The views are stunning the whole way, you want to walk backwards so you don’t miss anything! Plenty of time at the top to rest, take photos, before coming a little way down for lunch. The descent is fairly straightforward with lots of forest cover, although a little scrabbly towards the end. The guesthouse in Theth was super comfortable with good wifi and shower/room - you sure appreciate that shower! Had a wonderful evening meal with company, really laughed so much, great camaraderie. The walk in Theth and the waterfall the next morning was super pleasant and not too taxing - wish I’d brought my swimsuit for a dip in the waterfall. We had a bit of delay to go back to Tirana because of traffic, but stopped for late lunch by the lake in Shkoder (not included - pay per person) for yet another great meal together. Overall would really recommend this tour - as a solo traveller it took all the logistical hassle out of the hike. Jozef was an awesome guide, had great communication from Andi ahead of the trip. The nature and views are incredible and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

  Well….all I can say is this: DO THIS 2night 3day trek through the most beautiful countryside of Albania. It’s the perfect way to take in all the senses of the “real Albania”. Small group, excellent meals and a wonderful guide- Gavin.
