Beautiful mountains and friendly tour guide! - The views along the hike were beautiful. The hike consists mainly of a upwards zigzag, and isn't too difficult if you've done hiking before. There is a restaurant at the top where we had our lunch. Our tour guide, Idris, is very friendly and kept us engaged throughout the hike. Highly recommend for the sights and the experience!

Unique experience! Such a cool day trip! - The day trip was really really exciting and fun! We climbed up the Gamti Mountain and enjoyed the amazing view above Tirana until the ocean. Our next step was the Bovilla Lake and the view was amazing. Our guide Renato was really well informed about the Albania’s history and different topics about his country and culture. He made our trip unique! Thank you so much!

Beautiful walk with beautiful views - Fantastic walk, beautiful views, nice explanations and anecdotes from Erik. Even the rain shower was funny in the ponchos I received. Wonderful experience. Make sure you have good walking shoes, because it is quite challenging.

Too good to miss. - The tour was excellent, and Edmund was a superb guide who went the extra mile. His knowledge about Albania is very impressive. We would definitely recommend Edmund and the tour to Bovilla Lake.

Shorter hike than expected but great views and fun experience! - It was a very nice experience. Beautiful views on the way up and from the top! We expected the hike to be a bit further than 4.5 km. Also because it says it is a day trip. The description stated that it was a 3-hour walk up (and then back), but we were back at the car within 2 hours: walked up, had a quiet drink at the restaurant, continued up, took many photos on the top and back to the car. Later we enjoyed delicious typical Albanian food together at a restaurant. Our guide Renato did a very good job! He picked us up at the hotel and told us a lot about Albania along the way, very interesting! We had a nice meal together and then he took us back to the hotel. Despite the short hike, a very beautiful experience!
