Great day despite a little rain - We had a great day with our guide Igi, despite a little rain. In addition to the planned activities, he informed us a lot about Albania, answering our many questions. We highly recommend this activity!

Osumi Canyon - not to be missed! - The nature was breathtaking on this tour. We really enjoyed the spring hike. Our guide Soni was super: he told us informative stories and has a great sense of humour. We felt privileged to discover such a beautiful part of Albania.

Exceptional itinerary and perfect organization - The Canyon is simply SPECTACULAR, not to be missed. Conversely, the Bogova waterfall is disappointing. Not bad lunch. The guide, Soni, is very good... a true professional! Do NOT MISS!

Great tour with great guide! - Soni is a great guide. He is humanly authentic and tells his own story, which of course is the story of the country. He also gives many great tips and funny advice. The tour in general is very round, everything fits, nothing is too long or too short. Lunch was also very delicious. A highlight was the bar in the Usumi Canyon beautifully located and a funny story that there are bars everywhere, really everywhere in Albania. All in all, Soni conveys the love of the country very well. I can only recommend this tour to anyone.

Great trip with cooling finish - A very good tour! Great stories and anecdotes from the very good English speaking guide. The hike in the canyon was well guided and he (Daniele) always paid attention to the safety of everyone. The food wasn't special but OK. The final plunge into the water of the waterfall (really cold) was a cooling conclusion. Highly recommended!

Osumi canyon is stunning - Soni I is an excellent guide. he took really good care of all of us. we made a few photo stops on the way to the canyon. osumi Canyon is just stunning. we arrived at the point to go into the river. I personally had a little difficulty walking in the river. I'm in my '70s and it was a little difficult for me because the water was a little muddy and unable see the bottom. it was uneven, muddy and rocky at times. but Sunny was great. he held my hand practically the whole time. the water was chilly about 17° c and a few times we had to swim a little bit because it was deep. we walked up River for a while making some stops to take photos. he carried all our cameras in a dry bag. they provide good water shoes that are sturdy. it was a nice experience because the scenery was gorgeous and the only way to see it inside the canyon was to walk through it. Soni knows the river like the back of his hand and able to tell us when we need to start swimming and stop swimming. we reached a certain point and rested for a while. then we turned around and walked back down down current which was much easier. after changing our clothes, we drove to Bogove and had lunch at a nice restaurant near a river. then we went to the waterfall which was very close by. The water at the waterfall was even colder about 6° c. so only one or two people ventured in. you really needed to get in the water to get a good picture of the waterfall. so the angle I was at I was unable to get a decent picture of the waterfall. but it was a pleasant experience. thank you Soni for a wonderful day!

Nice day trip, with a nice tour guide! Recommended for young and old! - Nice tour with good cozy tour guide. Know a lot about Albania and the surrounding area! And tell it with humor! The activities were definitely fun to do. Walking and swimming through the Canyon was a fun experience, the waterfall itself was not that spectacular, but very refreshing to take a dip in. Highly recommended!

Beautiful canyon - Very nice day with our guide Soni who made the excursion very interesting. The canyon is worth a visit and we swam there and walked in water at about 18 degrees, it refreshed us and in addition the guide provided us with very comfortable plastic shoes. Lunch in a local restaurant was good and drinking water was available However, the waterfall was full of people, impossible to swim in, we found no interest But the canyon is worth a visit and thanks again to our guide Soni

A great day out - We really enjoyed this day trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and told us a lot about Albanian history and culture. He expertly guided us through the canyon and found lots of safe but challenging spots to jump from, which the kids loved. Lunch was also very good.
