A great day trip with Izet. - Doing this day trip with Izet was one of the highlights of my first visit to Albania. Izet is kind, knowledgeable, fun, and cares a lot about giving his guests a great experience of his country. I am glad I opted for his tour as it is limited to only 5 people (as that is the most his Land Rover can hold). For my tour it was just him and myself, which worked out great. I enjoyed spending the day chatting as we traveled to and from Bovilla lake. Besides the lake and Gamti, Izet made a few additional stops to show the scenery and some of his favorite sights. Which are also impressive. Likely other tours do not stop in these places. Going with Izet and his car has some additional practical benefits. The Land Rover is the proper type of vehicle to traverse the unpaved and pot-hole stricken road. Which makes the trip much more comfortable. At Gamti, Izet drives the car all the way to the restaurant which is the real start of the hike. Many other tours park at the bottom of the road leading to the restaurant. That stretch of road is long, dusty, sun exposed, and with cars passing by going up & down. Not particularly interesting, so I appreciated starting the hike where we did. If you do go with Izet, as I recommend you do, let him take some photos for you. He's got a good eye for photography as well. Thanks again Izet!

Fantastic tour with a great guide - We had a fantastic day with Izet! He picked us up at our hotel and drove us to Bovilla Lake in his comfortable Land Rover. The car offered all the luxury we could wish for and made the drive up very pleasant, despite the challenging road. We would definitely not recommend this ride with a rental car or regular car. Izet is a great guide and moreover a particularly fine person. He tailored the whole trip to our wishes and liked to take beautiful pictures of us in various unique places along the way. Often these were locations you would never visit without a guide or even think about. He also shared numerous interesting facts about the lake and Albania in general. A nice extra: he had also provided fresh fruit and cold water, which made the whole thing even more pleasant. In short: this tour is highly recommended! Without a guide, the drive to Bovilla Lake would probably have caused us a lot of stress, but thanks to Izet we enjoyed carefree, saw more and learned a lot.

Absolutely worth it. - I joined this tour yesterday and it was fantastic! Our guide, Izet, was attentive and thoughtful throughout the trip, providing detailed explanations and preparing everything we might need in advance, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. He took many stunning photos for me, as he knows numerous unique shooting spots and angles that always produce unexpectedly impressive results. Once you sit in his car, you will truly realize how wise your choice was! The road to the mountains is narrow and bumpy, in poor condition, with large construction trucks passing by, and under the scorching sun — but none of this is a problem in his car. Inside, it’s cool and comfortable, allowing you to stay cheerful even in the heat. The itinerary is well-paced and never rushed. Izet is a real gentleman who is attentive to clients’ safety and every detail. Absolutely worth it!

Highly recommend! - I highly recommend taking this tour! Izet is an exceptionally awesome guide :) Everything was top-notch - from communication to the little details Izet added to his tour to make us feel most welcome (a fruit picnic with a breathtaking view of the Bovilla Lake was super nice!) A special mention goes to Izet's passion for photography - he knows the best, most scenic spots on the route and will take a lot of cool portrait pics for you :) Thank you for this experience, it made our first visit to Albania a truly memorable one!
