Osumi River hiking - We went on the river hiking with Renato and Behar who were the best guides we could wish for. They cared for our safty and Renato gave some explanation about the river and some legends. We had so much fun going in the water and jumping of the rocks. Thank you for this amazing dat Renato and Behar we would 100% recommend!

Best day out near Berat! - My friend and I had a breath taking experience which was orchestrated by very knowledgeable and hilarious tour guides! One guide which stuck out was Reno, he had a lot of interesting things to say about the area and the culture, as well as being a right laugh!
The hike included a bunch of jumping from rocks / cliffs into water, swimming, hiking, mud bathing/ clay bathing and friendly banter.
If youre an adrenaline junkie like me who loves cliff diving or chill floating and hiking down a river, 10/10 would recommend!

Awesome trip to Osumi Canyon - An awesome day out! Well organised, friendly guides and an absolute blast for everyone going down the canyon. Lots of opportunities for jumping in the water, floating down the canyon and enjoying the beautiful views. Can definitely recommend this tour and these guys!!

River hiking - Great hike in a beautiful canyon, only disadvantage is that there are a lot of people (30-40) for few guides (4) so there is a significant waiting time at each jump. And beware: we understood it was canyoning but it's not, it's more of a chill hike along a river with some jumps.

Very nice experience - Very nice hike following the river in the canyon, both in and out of the water at times (different from canyoning). The team was great, they took pictures of the group and sent them right away, we had a good time!

Not what was promised :( - The content does not match what was promised.
1. Start at 10am instead of 8:30am
2. No hiking through the canyon, but a bus ride along with a descent into the canyon for 15 minutes
If this is related to the time of year, the tour should no longer be offered like this.
3. Lunch was OK

No value for 80 €! - So-called canyoning was organized despite the very low water level, sometimes we just walked over the stones with dry feet in full gear. Four or five jumps into the water is the "biggest adventure" of the day. The pick-up, transport, rental and lunch worked out, it was fine. There is the option of having the guides take photos of you during the tour, these are sold at lunch for a price of €5 per person. These are then sent either on your cell phone via WA or by email. I paid for three people but never saw the photos. The next day I contacted the organizer by email and requested the photos by email, unfortunately I didn't get a response or photos. As I communicated with other participants, the tour is not worth €80 per person!
