Must do when in Tirana - The views and photos from the summit were amazing and the hike is not very difficult. Everyone in my group was very friendly and our tour guide Dorian, was very accommodating and informative. I suggest buying lunch at the restaurant on the hill, as it’s affordable and tasty. A trip to Tirana in spring/summer without this activity is incomplete in my opinion! Incredible value for money. Can’t recommend it enough!

Bovilla: A must visit - Bovilla reservoir/lake is as beautiful as the pictures. It is only a short hike up to the view point. The trip was very smooth from pickup to the hike to dropoff. Kudos to Keni (our guide) who gave a lot of information and helped us through the hike. He also helped in taking pictures so we have memories.

Amazing experience! Even the Raki ;) - We planned this trip last minute, but it turned out to be an amazing experience! Our guide Edi spoke English (very well) and told us a lot about the surroundings including the nature, the Bovilla lake, the mountains and a little about the Gamti mountain. The bus trip to the lake was a bit bumpy, but because of the experienced chauffeur the bouncing almost felt like a massage :). During the hike to the top, we had multiple stops to make sure everyone was feeling well. At the top, we had some free time to wander around and take some pictures. Edi even took some of us! He was a very lovely guide. On the bus ride back down, me and my partner fell sound asleep. 10/10 would recommend!!

Recommended - A great hike with a beautiful view and a great guide. Make sure you bring good shoes as the stones can be slippy and difficult to walk on.

Great tour! - An unforgettable experience – 10/10! The Gamti Mountain Tour was just great! Breathtaking landscapes, exciting insights into the region and a perfectly coordinated process. But what really made the tour special was our guide Edi – absolutely the best tour guide imaginable! Competent, warm, funny and with a real passion for the nature and culture of Albania. We felt completely comfortable and would do the tour again at any time. Clear recommendation!
