Wonderful - The vistas were spectacular. The hike up was a bit challenging for a 67 year old with a bum knee but Edi kindly provided encouragement and also assistance on the way down. Highly recommended!

Desi Ismailaj is a good guide - Desi is our guide and he is great! The trip is a bit short but at least the guide explains everything clearly with genuine manner.

Albania - Bovilla Lake and Gamti Mountain - This is a very good day out if its sunny outside and you want to do something active but not too strenuous. The drive from Tirana to Lake Bovilla is nice, and the Bovilla Lake is worth it for the view. The friendly guide told the group it was open for swimming but some other sources said that wasn't the case. From Bovilla Lake to the top of the Gamti Mountain it is at most 400 meters, and has one steep section. The last 100-150 meters are rocky steps and/or man made iron/steel stairs bolted onto the cliffside, which lead to a metal platform overhanging the mountain - a great place to take photos with Bovilla Lake and the hills in the background. The top is flat so you can eat a packed lunch there while looking at the view, or go down the 100-150 meters to the restaurant (but it gets quite busy). Recommended!

Gorgeous vista - Even in November, we had lovely weather. The hike, I felt, could have been a bit more of an actual hike, the spot was very crowded with a lot of tourists shuffling along to get to the nice views, but the tour was otherwise as advertised. Our guide Rai told us a couple of interesting facts, was very friendly and kept a strict schedule. Definitely recommended.

INCREDIBLE!!! Starts at 9:15am back in Hotel by 3:30pm - So much fun!! Incredible photos and the restaurant on the mountain top is amazing!! Best Lamb I have ever had - they have so many different kinds of food! Prices were super cheap too. They accepted card and have great wifi too at the restaurant. Ervin was an amazing guide! He's also a translator and speaks amazing English. We all got eat family style at the restaurant too because we all wanted to try everyone food - personal group option since the food was big portions.

Great Hike and Breathtaking Views - We had a great experience on this hike. Ervin, our tour guide was very good and proficient. The weather wasn't in our favor but he managed to make it as enjoyable as possible. Had a great meal at the top of the mountain at a restaurant that served local delicacies.
