Great! - We had a really great tour to Lake Bovilla and Mount Gamti. Desi has explained an incredible amount and shared exciting stories – you can see how much knowledge and passion he brings. His friendly nature made the tour special. However, the trip to the lake should not be underestimated: The journey is long and the gathering of guests takes time, especially if you – like us – are picked up first. The roads are partly undeveloped, which is why you can only drive very slowly (about 10–20 km/h). It's pretty bumpy, you should be prepared for that. However, the approximately 45-minute, very steep hike to the lookout point is absolutely worthwhile. The view over Lake Bovilla is truly beautiful and impressive – an unforgettable moment! The restaurant was very local with food. But I wasn't so hungry and ordered fries, they were delicious too. Card payment is possible from 10 euros. A personal, negative point for me: On the way you saw animal suffering, which affected me emotionally. Of course, the guides can’t help it – I’d like to mention it anyway, as it can be stressful for sensitive people. Thank you, Desi, for this special experience!

Best day ever! - This was an amazing experience! Our guides, Landi and Irvi were incredible. We learned so much about the history of Albania and Tirana on the bus ride and had fun. Some of the girls in the group found the hike very scary (it is moderate in length but the hike does involve walking on stairs and climbing on rocks on the side of a very high cliff and it was raining) and Landi and Irvi were SO patient and reassured and assisted us. They were very funny and made the experience as fun as it was. They took many photos for us as well! Excellent guides. The restaurant was delicious. Definitely book this!

Incredible day trip from... - Incredible day trip from Tirana. Artol, our tour guide, provided a lot of really interesting historical and cultural information about Albania while we were travelling to and from the lake in the shuttle. He responded to messages really quickly and made it an easy process logistically. The views of the lake and mountains are so stunning and I really enjoyed the short hike
