Our guide Gledi is very friendly and told us alot about the history and tour. The walk itself is just a easy one, taking only 15 min up and down
Great trip! Altea was full of energy and enthusiasm and did a great job of keeping us all informed along the way. The views are amazing and worth the effort needed to get up the top. Wear shoes with a good grip as done of the rocks can be loose and slippy. Would highly recommend this trip :)
It is a long drive (90 minutes-120 minutes depending on traffic), which is worth it. Our bus driver was an excellent driver. On an unpaved winding road, he brought us safely up to the plateau and back down again. 🫣😊 The guide was always available. There was a restroom break along the way. The hike took about 30-40 minutes including climbing stairs (one way). The view is sensational. Sturdy footwear is definitely appropriate. The way back is a bit faster (maybe 20 minutes) There is stress-free time for photos and you can have something to drink and eat. Our automatically assigned pickup point was really bad. We were in Golem and were supposed to come to Durrës. We did that by taxi for 2120 Lek (approx. 22 euros). However, it turned out that the nearest pickup was right near the hotel we were staying at. On the way back, we got off there. Still 5 stars 🤩
A fun hike & beautiful view. The driver navigated the roads like an expert and the tour guide Gledi was communicative prior to the trip, and informative and friendly during. We had time to enjoy the view and have a snack or drink if you wanted to. We also happened to see some goats and sheep nearby which was enjoyable. I recommend this group and trip! You will be happy you went.
Our guide Dion was very nice, he spoke perfect english, shared interesting facts about Albania and guided us throughout the entire tour. The hike itself was not very hard and the view at the top was amazing
Unbelievable views of Albania 🇦🇱 great experience and not to difficult for a basic fitness level. Got some amazing photos and unforgettable memories. Also Cafe up the mountain which I recommend buying plenty of water because it can get very hot. Guides are very helpful and give you a good insight. However not much health and safety out here. So watch your steps 👀
Gledi is an excellent tour guide. He is knowledgeable about the area, makes the trip super fun and takes amazing photos. I’d highly recommend this tour as a great adventure
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.Didn't think we would make it to the top but our guide Gledi was so energetic and made it look so easy that we all went up there. Out of all tours in Albania, this was my favourite. From loving Gledi's playlist in the coach to getting pictures clicked by him on the top, we enjoyed everything. Would recommend this tour in Albania for all adventure lovers
This trip is very rewarding, we had a very nice guide Lori and a super good driver! Beautiful route and arrived upstairs breathtaking view! Thank you Lori for this wonderful day!
Gledi was the best guide, views were amazing! He really would go out of his way to help with anything, including getting up the steep steps. The hike is not for the faint hearted.
