3 days in the Albanian Alps - Genci is a marvellous guide and driver. We did a 3 day trip from Tirana to Thethi. He picked us up from the hotel and stayed with us the whole time. We had a fantastic journey with him through the mountains, and he also guided us to the 2 well known waterfalls. We stayed at Polia, a local guest house where the dinners provided by the host were both excellent. Genci is the perfect companion: kind and sensitive, and we cannot recommend him more highly!

Definitely worth writing home about - Visiting the north of Albania is not easy, but Genci at Enjoy Travel made it smooth anyway. The mountains are epic, the in-lake berm of restaurants and bars are (at least at the time I write this) like a mini-hidden resort, and the locals in and around Theth and Valbona are very welcoming. In 2022, Albanians are still seeing their own country so there will be plenty of folks from Tirana on your tour who, if they're friendly like our group, will give you solid lessons on Albania's recent history, current and traditional music, best beer and more. Genci was extremely responsive when setting up our tour and throughout, and after our hiking days gave us a personal tour of Shkodër Castle and the main center of Tirana. Our tour ended with a stay at a day-rental apartment in a building that housed a museum to Ismail Kadare (a famous Albanian author), just across a park from Tirana's Opera and Ballet Theater. The apartment was extremely comfortable and centrally located. A note for the Valbona pass tour: the north of Albania is fairly wild country and you must be prepared ... bring rain gear, sturdy hiking shoes with good traction, a swimsuit for Lake Komani and cash because there are only 1-2 bankomats anywhere north of Shkodër.

Amazing Theth - We went on 5 days private tour on Tirana city, Shkoder, Theth & Kruje. He took such a wonderful care of us. Very patient and informative guide, since we arrived and until the last day. The trip to Theth was so amazing with the nature view. The trek was easy and we really enjoyed. Many thanks to Enjoy Travel Guide Albania for making our trip memorable!
