5.00The tour was super. Our guide was very friendly and showed us beautiful places. We could contact him with any question and he recommanded super restorants and aktivities in Tirana. We learnd a lot about the city and the view at the end of our hike was amazing (even on a rainy day). Only the way up was quit tricky (hiking shows are important). We would definatly do this trip again.

5.00Amazing trip to Tirana and Bovilla Lake. Learned a lot about the Albanian history and culture in Tirana. Bovilla Lake is a must see - so beautiful and the drive from Tirana to Bovilla Lake through the mountains is also a big experience! Could definitely recommend the trip!

Incredible view

5.00The trip started with a walking tour in the center of Tirana, the guide Eni explained a lot and shared interesting knowledge. During the city tour we visited the most important buildings and attractions that Tirana has to offer. I'd recommend you to do the tour at the beginning of your stay in Tirana, otherwise parts of the tour will be repetitive. Afterwards we went into the car and drove towards the Bovilla lake. As I was the only participant we had a good chat on the way there. After an hour we arrived and after a short hike we were rewarded with an incredible view over the lake and the reservoir. It was amazing to be the only group of people there, usually such places are packed but not here. We stayed on the peak for some time to take photos, enjoy the view etc. and eventually drove back to Tirana. Overall a very interesting experience and a good mixture of city and nature.
Fantastic scenery and a great hike

5.00Great experience you don’t wanna miss when in Tirana. Only 30 minuts away from the city you find yourself sorrounded by the most beautiful nature. The hike was fantastic and our guide Alban very nice and full of humour - we laughed a lot on our way to the top. Took lunch at an authentic restaurant at the top - def worth a visit! ♥️🤗

Exceeded my Expectations

5.00Loved everything about this tour. My trip was short so I needed an experience with a mix of both culture and nature. We had a quick informative tour in Tirana followed by a 10 mins hike in Lake Bovilla to reach this breathtaking view. The guide “Leo” was a great conversationalist, flexible with timing and he took awesome footage of me since I’m traveling solo. Highly recommend this!
It was fun 🤩

5.00Loved the tour around Tirana, learned a lot about its history, and saw all of the major sightings. The ride to the Bovilla lake was a perfect way to end it, the view was so worth the climbing. Stunning!
Perfect Mix

5.00Perfect tour if you are looking for a good mix of culture and nature. Learned about the history of the country and its capital by the fluently English speaking guide, who was happy to answer all questions and was also flexible about what places to visit downtown Tirana. Afterwards the hike at Bovilles needed a good fitness level depending on how quick or high you want to go uphill to get rewarded by the breathtaking views. Had a great day and it left me wanting to find out and explore more.
