Great stories - Great tour. We liked the stories that our guide told us in de bus about Albania. Pick up option was very close to our hotel and the driver drove very safe. We also had enough time at all the spots, but at the same time saw a lot in one day.

Berat: Guides so good, I kept coming back. - Soni was great! The hike was beautiful, challenging enough, but not impossible by any means. The guide gave a lot of really helpful info, like guides should. However, he also gave us a deeper understanding of history and politics with personal anecdotes. Good food, good company, beautiful. Well thought-out plan for the day.

My top experience in Albania - This tour was really a great experience for me. We had an excellent driver and two highly motivated guides. Looking from high up down into the gorge was wonderful, but entering the gorge on quite a distance, walking trough shallow water and swimming when it was deep, this was really unforgettable. Those who wanted had the opportunity to jump from a high cliff down into the river. Later a good lunch was served an the whole groupe hiked up to the waterfall. Thank you very much!

Great day out in Berat! - Great experience; super tour guide (Soni). Soni was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to explain the history of Albania and tell us more interesting stories, including about himself! Was very kind and helpful to my daughter who didn’t want to go into the water. Thanks so much Soni and also to the veteran 31- year bus driver for guiding us throughout our little adventure!

For the canyon - Sony is a kind Guide who took the time to tell us about the history of his country. The canyon is really an amazing experience. On the other hand, you do not need an agency at all to do the stunt (doable if you have your own vehicle). At the agency, they were not very transparent about travel times that were actually longer than “40 minutes”. The small restaurant where the agency stops you for lunch is cute with its fountain. If we had to do it again, we would do it alone but we are happy to have had the experience

Foot rafting in the Osumi river - We were looking for a rafting or kayaking activity on the Osumi River, but due to the low water level a guided walk through the river was suggested.
Highly recommended! We were able to admire the gorge at different stops during the ride and while walking in the river also from different angles!
Everything was well organized, water shoes, pit stop, lunch and a nice surprise from the Guide The Professor!
The waterfall was a beautiful, active and refreshing closing activity! Worth booking!

Great day out - don’t miss it! - We truly enjoyed this great tour in the amazing Osumi Canyon. Everything was perfectly organized and our guide Igi took great care of us. He drove us carefully, he chose the best time to visit both the canyon and the waterfalls, and we had a delicious lunch. The highlight of the tour was for us the walk/swim in the river through the canyon. It was truly beautiful - with very few people around. Our kids loved it. A highly recommended tour if you’re in Berat.
