Experience to be redone! - My partner and I loved every single moment of this trip, despite my destroyed calves and the slightly unstable weather 🤣 Organized down to the smallest detail and with competent guides able to adapt to the different languages of the participants from all over the world. An experience that we would like to recommend to everyone as it allows you to see the landscapes and natural beauty of Albania and at the same time meet people from every country.

Good deal, great service, kind people! - One of the best tour guides I have ever had. They were very friendly and helpful. My friend was scared of heights and they accompanied her back to the starting point! Very precise on time. Were present sharp at 8:50am for pick up. I would say it was a well planned tour and they also do not hesitate to click pictures for you. Feel free to ask them!

Lovely experience - The trip was great and our guide, Orlanda, was really nice! She gave us a history lesson together with tips and tricks on how to climb. On top of everything she was a great photograph for the whole group. Overall, the experience was really pleasent and I would even go to the length of saying that it was the highlight of our trip. Definitelly recommend it!

Unforgettable experience that you will regret if you don’t do it. - Though that my pick up was delayed from about 30 minutes due to some logistics issues in the company I used (Dream Tours Albania) and though that the road to the lake is pretty hard and full of holes, but the 3 cars that were in the group managed to arrive to the lake and the mountain safely, then we had to hike about 45 minutes to the best part and view and it was really worthy to do the whole hike as the view from up there is breathtaking … then we went into the bar and some of us had food some had drinks, and the terrace there is amazing overlooking the lake. And I don’t want to forget the great care and hospitality Orlanda (our tour guide) that showed especially after the end of the hike and before going to the resto-bar she offered all of us a shot of grape Raki. All in all was worthy, dont miss that if you are in Tirana.

Amazing Views! - Great experience! Drove for about an hour to the lake with our guide (Orlanda) who was very lovely and informative. Started the hike which lasted about 45 mins up to the view point. Hiking footwear is not required, sporty trainers are perfect (I walked in shoes with no grip and I was ok). The view was incredible and you could climb onto this rocky outcrop to get some more cool photos. Then we shared a toast with a shot of Albanian raki! We had a quick stop for lunch at the restaurant which was very good value (Caesar salad for 550 leke) and they do take card but they much prefer cash as their card machine is temperamental. If you say you don’t have cash they will try using the card machine. I got picked up at 9:30 and got back at about 15:00.

nice view Bovilla lake - Our guide Landy was very friendly and the organization was perfect. I was in a group of 6 people. The way from the lake is not long. At the top we had enough time to enjoy the view and have a snack. Then we were in a restaurant and spent a lot of time there. I was already bored.

Worth the Climb - This is a great trip. The views are outstanding. The driver stops a couple of times on the way, once for food/drink/toilet and once for you to take pictures of the views. I did feel like there were too many people on our bus and be warned that the hike is very steep. If you leave from the restaurant caraprk it's ok but we hiked from the bottom of the road and although it only took maybe 35/40 mins, it was steep, especially in the hot weather. Worth it though for those views ❤️
