A must when visiting Tirana! - I had an amazing time on the tour to Lake Bovilla and Gamti Mountain. The pick up was easy and the team picked me up very close to my hotel. Our guide told us interesting information on the way to our goal, and kept us informed of everything that was happening. At our destinations he took many great photos and videos for us and was especially great at pushing me (not too much!) to do the things that I wanted to do but felt too scared of. The last stop to swim was a fantastic way to end the day! Thanks a lot to the whole team :)

Very rewarding, beautiful - Well-arranged trip, which is definitely not recommended with your own car. The road up is full of holes and not paved. Some experience to ride here is definitely needed. Once at the top the view is fantastic. Wear sturdy good shoes to walk all the way up. It's quite a Kim and if it's rained a bit very slippery. But very rewarding. Picked up and returned from your hotel, totally top
