Review of the $12 Bovilla Lake and Gamti Mountain tour from Tirana, with hike details, views, transport tips, costs, and who should book.
“The tour was amazing and gave us historical insight into Albania which was so fascinating and inspired us to visit some more museums while here. Landi was so charismatic and enthusiastic! We loved him as a tour guide and he brought all the energy and jokes! The group was also a great size for us to interact and get to know each other so solo travelers would enjoy!

Review of Saranda’s 9-hour tour to Lekursi Castle, Blue Eye, Gjirokaster, Mesopotam Monastery, Ottoman Bridge, and communist bunkers.
“This is an awesome experience, Carefully choreographed to cover all significant places around the region. So much can be enjoyed in just one day, without rushing, thanks to Ilir, the nice guide who I think is the owner. I came here in middle of January when tourist are so scarce, but Ilir is willing to take me as a solo guest, which is deeply appreciated. He explained many things about Albania history, the communist past, the general life. Gjirokaster is really a gem, with very unique architecture & winding slanting streets, though most summer tourists may just care about diving into blue eye crystal bubbly waters. Not to overlook Lekursi…”
