Exceptional - Magnificent excursion with Dori as our guide First stop at Preza Castle: a small castle with a lovely mosque... we were welcomed by a very friendly young Albanian Then we headed to Lake Bovilla: after a very bumpy road but with a top-notch driver who did his best to shake us as little as possible, we arrived at the lake... and there... a breathtaking landscape... the more adventurous will follow Dori to access the platform overlooking the lake while the others refresh themselves at the restaurant with a view of the lake. The climb is more or less difficult but it is worth it... the descent is a bit more complicated if you are afraid of heights... Speaking of Dori, he is a great guide, very attentive to everyone, very considerate, who helps you if you are in difficulty, who takes your picture so you can keep beautiful memories... he is exceptional! Thanks again to him for making the experience even better! I recommend this outing 👍

Amazing Bovilla Lake Tour with a Fantastic Guide – Dori! - We had an amazing trip to Bovilla Lake and it truly exceeded our expectations. The views were absolutely stunning and the whole experience was unforgettable. What made this trip special was our guide, Dori. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely engaged throughout the entire tour. You could feel that he really cares about what he does, and he was always willing to help, answer questions, and share interesting insights about the area. We also want to mention our driver, who was excellent. Overall, we are very satisfied with the trip and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Albania. And if you get Dori as your guide, you’re in great hands!
