Amazing views of the Bovilla lake - Our tour guide Edi was very attentive and kind. The trip from central Tirana to the lake is smooth for the first half, but it goes indeed into a bumpy road for the other half. The reward is totally worth though, as the views are amazing.

Absolutely stunning ! - Klajdi was a fantastic guide. We were lucky enough to share two excursions with him, both times he was friendly, knowledgeable and make sure everyone was having a good time and was comfortable the tour gave us enough of a hike so that we felt as though we had worked for our evening meal, but bot enough to exhaust us. The view from the top of the mountain was breathtaking and well worth the walk. Once again, Kladji took the time to take pictures of everyone who wanted them. All in all, a well worthwhile tour from Tirana. Our highlight of the capital.

Good - I booked the tour because it would be nice to swim after the hike on a hot and sunny day, like it was. Although the description says you can swim if you like and they even tell you to bring swimming suit, the guide told us there it was forbidden to swim on the lake and we could be fined 🤔 but overall it was a nice driving, with good hiking and views
