Great experience close to the city - The views were beautiful and the hike was great. Regular rest stops throughout the hike in the heat was nice and would suit a broad range of people. Our guide Deo was fantastic, he is very knowledgeable and humorous!

Great tour in short time frame - The tour is simply amazing, we got picked up on time and our driver and tour guide Arbi were very nice. Also got back on time, so this tour is very doable when you don’t have too much time. We got picked up at 9:45 and got back at 16:00.

Nice day trip from Tirana - Klevi was a great guide. Patient, attentive, and prompt. The tour was nice, the hike was no joke. It is only 30/40min but it’s a really high incline. If you aren’t in shape, it will be a challenge. The view was beautiful, swim was nice, and restaurant has great food/bathrooms. You don’t need to bring a lunch. Bring water shoes for the swim though because it’s rocky.

Trendafil aka Vili is an... - Trendafil aka Vili is an absolute amazing tour guide. We had a fantastic hike up Gamti Mountain with stunning views of Bovilla Lake. The air-conditioned bus ride included a convenient stop for buying water and lunch. The hike was under an hour and enjoyable, though some parts might be challenging for those afraid of heights. There's a restaurant with great views for those who don't want to hike to the top. Our guide was incredibly helpful, even buying a watermelon for the group, and provided excellent tips for hiking and camping. His passion for sharing Albania's beautiful nature made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Can’t regret it! - Kind guide (Valter), nice journey to Bovila, exciting walk up to Gamti, stunning view up there. Things to bear in mind: proper shoes and light back bag; it requires medium level of fitness.
