Perfect hiking tour to make your stay in Albania uncomfortable - It was a perfectly organized tour from the very beginning: managers were helpful and very eager to explain all the details. All the your everything went smoothly: from pick up, transportation, getting on the boat and oure guest houses. The guest houses were very nice and pleasant and the food exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to our guide Daniel who was very friendly, sociable, knowledgeable and making an extra mail to be our tour unforgettable. Great experience, great choice and the views were just unforgettable. Thank you

Amazing experience exploring the Albanian Alps - I had not planned to go hiking on this trip but I’m sooooo glad I signed up for this tour! The views are absolutely breathtaking, all the way from the ferry ride on Komani Lake, to the hiking itself, and the car rides exploring the region, heading back to Tirana. I loved every bit of this tour; everything was really well organized. The guesthouses had all amenities needed, our hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming, and our guide was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend! NB: please be aware the intensity of the long hike on day 2 is flagged as moderate (~16km with some steep inclines); I believe a certain level of fitness is required

Great hiking tour - This was a great hiking tour - the main hike was truly incredible with amazing views and it was great learning more about Albania. The guest houses were comfortable and food delicious and generous portions. The tour ran very smoothly, we had an injury in our group and the guide went above and beyond to make sure they got back safely. Daniel, our guide, was a very interesting and knowledgable man and truly made the tour unique. I would recommend moderate fitness for the tour as main hike is tough, but well worth it, and you are required to carry your bags (so pack light!)

Incredible hiking tour - We would highly recommend this tour. The hike between Valbona and Theth was incredible - amazing views and felt like such an achievement. We did a nice walk on day one and day three as well. The guest houses were comfortable and the food and service was extremely good - each meal we had a variety of local dishes and portions were extremely generous. Daniel, our tour guide, made the tour even better - he was extremely knowledgeable and interesting and he ensured the tour ran smoothly. The main walk is tough but well worth it and requires moderate fitness.

Highly recommend - Valbona to Theth tour was more than I imagined - Highly recommend! I did this late autumn in October and weather was perfect at this time (this year). The tour was really well organized, everything happened on time, transports works well, the food during the tour was super delicious and full of traditional flavors, both guesthouses Valbona and Theth were super clean, cozy, welcoming and new. This tour is really worth your money! And the tour guide Daniel was absolutely professional, he have a huge knowledge about history, culture, nature, Alps, hiking and so on. You are not only doing a hike, you will get to know lots of things about Albania. He have a good sense of humor and he will make sure you are good and safe during the hike. The tour gave me a freedom, I just packed my stuff and followed the plan, stress free. These three days were stunning, the view from the hike was one of the best view what I have seen and the group make this experience even better, thank you guys! Can’t wait to do the Korabi peak somewhere in future, maybe it’s more than okay as well!

Absolute highlight of my trip in Albania - Absolutely reccoment this amazibg adventure! Booking this guided tour was second best decision I have made recently. First was to come to Albania in general :) Tour was perfectly organised and I could enyoj beautiful Alvanian alps totally relaxed. For me as solo traveler it was no problem to make good friends with rest of the group cause it was small- we were just 5 and we had amazing and funny guide Redi who took excellent care of us and we learned a lot about Albanian culture and history. What will you get? 1. Amazing, relaxed, unforgetalbe experience with breathtaking views, good hike! 2. Private transfers (just one short bus drive) to famous ferry up to mountains, great guest houses with amazing food 3. Adventure you’ll never forget Advice: I suggest to have a swim in cold water mountain river after hiking Valbone-Teth pass, so refreshing! And harvest some plums from trees in Teth- very delicious :) Firstly I thought to do this trip by myself, but booking this was definately the right choice!
