Review of Albania’s 3-day Valbona, Theth and Blue Eye hike from Tirana, including costs, fitness needs, lodging, food and practical tips.
“La ruta de trekking es espectacular y el guía estuvo muy pendiente de nosotros durante todo el viaje. Sin embargo, consideramos que se deben cuidar ciertos aspectos: las reservas de alojamiento y desplazamiento se improvisan sobre la marcha, y por ello, aunque en la foto se ve un ferry, el trayecto del lago lo hicimos en un viejo transbordador que nada tenía que ver. El alojamiento de la primera noche, acorde con el precio, pero no así el segundo. Las comidas abundantes y caseras, pero no nos parece que el desayuno esté incluido y sin embargo debas pagarte el café, entendemos no se incluya la bebida fuera de las comidas,…”

“Lately we had an amazing tour in Albania with Local Friends. We started in Kruja, where the castle and its history really set the tone for the trip.

“How can one person write about a dream. This is what this tour was. Everything was more then perfect. From the moment I contacted the agency they enfolded me into their arms and gave me the best experience I could have ever asked for.
