This experience was excellent!! The hike was challenging but the view was amazing!!! We really enjoyed it😊
We had such a wonderful experience hiking in Velce Village! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the waterfall was definitely the highlight of the hike—it was such a magical and peaceful spot. Our guide, Nick, was amazing: friendly, knowledgeable and so kind throughout the whole experience. He made the hike feel relaxed and enjoyable, and we really appreciated his kindness in dropping us off at our next tour afterwards. It was such a memorable experience, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beautiful scenery around Velce Village!
A beautiful small village in the mountains near Vlore. The view, waterfalls, caves are definitely worth the trip. Nik made sure we were always safe and having a good time. If you like nature and hiking it is a must do activity when in Vlore. I would join again!
Our tour guide was extremely sweet to us, showed us waterfalls and caves, and took us to his home village. We met amazing people and drank Rakija with them. It was an amazing and beautiful experience!
This tour exceeded every expectation. Our local guide led us through Velçë village and into the mountains, and the whole route felt like a secret only locals knew about. Rasali Waterfall was stunning — well worth the walk — and the caves we explored along the way had incredible rock formations and a real sense of history. The trail itself was just as memorable as the destinations: lush green landscapes, natural springs, and viewpoint after viewpoint perfect for photos. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area, sharing stories and context you'd never get from a guidebook. What really made the experience special was the hospitality. Our guide welcomed us like family, and meeting his own family along the way added such a warm, genuine touch to the day. We were treated with such kindness and generosity that it felt less like a tour and more like being hosted by old friends — a real glimpse into authentic Albanian hospitality. At four hours, it struck the perfect balance — enough time to soak everything in without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this for anyone who loves hiking, nature, and authentic experiences far from the typical tourist trail. Would absolutely do it again.
This was a wonderful experience and a great way to discover a different side of Vlore, away from the usual beach areas. The waterfalls, caves and nature around Velce Village were beautiful, peaceful and very authentic. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole trip feel safe and well organized. I really enjoyed learning more about the local area and seeing places that I probably would not have discovered on my own. A perfect choice for anyone who enjoys nature, light adventure and hidden gems. Highly recommended!
