Well organised, all information provided before hand. Great experience with Armando. Very knowledgeable and provided useful information. Lunch stop at Cafe Ujvara was amazing
This was an amazing tour! Skerdi was a great guide. The waterfall hike was my favorite part, and lunch was delicious. Skerdi had great communication and everything ran smoothly as described. If you need a half day activity (about 6 hours) I highly recommend this tour!!!
Dear Lauren, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour, especially the waterfall hike and lunch. It was a pleasure guiding you, and we’re glad everything went smoothly and as expected. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another experience in Albania! Warm regards, Skerdi
We had a great time. The cable car up Dajti Mountain was one of the longest we have done and the views over Tirana were spectacular despite there being some clouds around. We stopped off at a small green lake for photos and then arrived at a restaurant near Shengjergj Waterfall. The path up to the waterfall isn’t particularly steep but it is quite rocky and slippery in places and crosses the river twice on rickety wooden footbridges. My wife has a visual impairment and our guide Ramadan was happy to help guide her up the more difficult parts. It’s worth the effort, as the waterfall is beautiful. We then walked back to the restaurant for lunch (not included in the price) which offered local cuisine. Ramadan was friendly, helpful and informative throughout and we appreciated not being rushed at any point.
Very nice experience with a guide at the top you should just put a guide who speaks French for people who do not understand English
Bonjour, Merci beaucoup pour votre retour et vos gentils mots 🙏 Nous comprenons pour le guide francophone. Nos tours sont généralement en anglais, mais nous pouvons organiser un guide parlant français sur demande. Merci encore et au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau !
Had an amazing time with Xhuljano on the Gamji Mountain Tour. He led us confidently to the waterfall and allowed plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos. He also shared invaluable advice for the rest of our itinerary. Highly recommend!
Had a private tour with Skerdi. Nothing was too much trouble & he was happy to accommodate our requests for extra time in certain places. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your lovely review — it truly means a lot to us. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Skerdi made the experience flexible and comfortable for you. Creating a relaxed, personalized experience is exactly what we aim for, so it’s wonderful to know it came through. Your kind words and recommendation are greatly appreciated, and we’re really glad you chose to explore with us. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
What a fantastic trip. The guide was brilliant. Lunch was great. Would 100% recommend. Recommended. The waterfall is worth the climb (which is quite hard), and the cable car is a fantastic experience.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! 😊 We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the Dajti Cable Car, National Park and Shengjergj Waterfall Tour. The hike to the waterfall can be a bit challenging, but as you said — it’s absolutely worth the climb! 💦🌿 It’s great to know you had a fantastic experience with the guide and enjoyed the traditional lunch as well. Thank you for the 100% recommendation — we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again on another Albania adventure soon!
we had a great time with our guide Skerdi , he is a true local from the area and a very proud one . the nature is amazing espacially at this time of the year . the waterfall was as big as it gets as at this season theres a lot of water coming down
Lovely experience! One of a kind! It was amazing and fun! Even it was heavily raining but still we enjoyed it! Both cable car and the hike to waterfalls! The food for lunch is so tasty too! Our tour guide and driver Skerdi is so patient and he drove through that mountain so smoothly and safely!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are very happy to hear that, despite the heavy rain, you still enjoyed the cable car experience, the hike to the waterfalls, and the delicious traditional lunch. We appreciate your kind words about Skerdi. Safety, patience, and professionalism are always our priority, especially when driving through mountain roads in challenging conditions. Thank you again for joining us — we hope to see you on another adventure soon, hopefully with better weather!
disappointingly the weather was so bad - torrential rain and too windy - the cable car trip needed to be cancelled! However Skerdi gave us an excellent guided tour of the chilling but illuminating tour of the brilliant BunkArt 1 .. will have to do this tour again once the good weather returns!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry that the weather conditions were too severe to safely operate the cable car — your safety always comes first. We are glad, however, that you still enjoyed the alternative visit to Bunk’Art 1, a powerful and important part of Albania’s history. Thank you as well for your positive words regarding Skerdi and the guided tour. We would be very happy to welcome you again when the weather improves so you can enjoy the full experience.
