Blue eye - Beautiful scenery and amazing views the hike to see the blue eye was slightly challenging. The drive from Tirana made for a very long day.

Great day out - Desi our tour guide was great ! He always made sure we stuck together as a group and ensured our safety for the entire trip. This tour is a great way to see the Blue Eye, although it’s a long day, it’s so worth it !

Great tour through which you get to know the mountains around Theth and a glimpse into culture and history - We had a great tour to Theth and the Blue Eye! Everything was very well organized and our guide Desi was a lot of fun and gave a lot of interesting information. It was a highlight of our trip to Albania and we’d definitely book another tour!

It was a beautiful hike to an amazing swim! Also don’t forget the history of the town of Theth! - I had a blast hiking up to Blue Eye, getting to chat with some people on the tour. The hike was very beautiful! I also thought it wasn’t too hard of a hike. The tour guide did a great job with recommendations for what to bring and he was excellent on keeping us on time.

Theth and the Blue Eye....a must see with this tour. - Fantastic day out with a great group of people. The day was long but well worth the time. Theth and the Blue Hole are must sees when you come to Albania. Desi is a great guide, always looking out for the group and making sure we were entertained. A special shout out to our van driver who made sure we got there and back safe and sound. I highly recommend this tour!!!

A day to remember - The tour was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The Blue Eye is simply spectacular, a true jewel of nature. The hiking part, although not DA underestimated, was absolutely feasible: neither my sister nor I are experienced hikers, but we had a great time!
One of the best moments was certainly when our guide, Landi, told us passionately about the story of Theth's Kulla. It was a very suggestive and engaging moment. Landi was impeccable: nice, helpful, attentive to everyone and with a super friendly approach. It made the tour even more special!
We had a really great time and we hope to join another tour with him soon. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour🔥🔥 Desi is the best!!!! - What a day 🔥 Theth and the Blue Eye was something really special like Switzerland or Norway. But I would say for sure that was the next level!!!
Huge mountains, crazy landscapes, amazing photos, blue waters and freezing cold. But our guide Desi made the day so special. First of all he was carrying all the time, full of energy and funny.
If you have only one day in Albania, I definitely would suggest this tour ✌️

Empty Blue Eye ? => Hiking in storms and thunderstorms! - Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side and we would be "showered" three times by rain.
The good thing about it: there was almost no one at the Blue Eye.
What I would have liked to know earlier: Water has 5°C.
Our guide named Daniel was very friendly and recommended.
Thank you!

For many tourists - Nice trip. Good guide and driver. But so many tourists that it is difficult to experience nature. But otherwise a fantastic beautiful place.
