Ramadan was an amazing guide super caring with great humour and smile made sure we were looked after! Views were incredible and despite the heat the hike was manageable! Cute lunch in restaurant afterwards and our driver was great! Very careful with the mountain roads! Blue eye was freezing though. Difficult to swim in
What a fantastic experience i will not forget. The scenery was stunning. Pick up in the morning with our Driver and tour guide Dritan was exactly on time. Information and some stops for refreshments on the way. Mountain road was incredible. Then onto the vally below. Truly amazing scenery. Lovely lunch pre ordered just before we set off on the return journey back to Tirana. While here one of the tour group was extremely ill. I have to give a hugh shout out to our guide Dritan who was faced with a very difficult situation. He handled it extremely professionally and with such care and understanding for the lady. Thankfully after some hours she made a full recovery while on the return back. This trip i would highly recommend. Its a long day out but so worth it.
Wonderful experience! Teth and the Blue Eye were gorgeous and 100% worth seeing. Although a long day, it was balanced well with enough time for hiking, swimming, time in Teth, and a delicious lunch. The hike was strenuous in parts with upward climb and lots of rocks, but the pace was reasonable and there was also flat areas to catch your breath with intermittent shade in the beautiful scenery. Our guide, Dave, was friendly and helpful, supplying us with info about Albanian history and the surrounding area. Our driver, Zamir was also excellent navigating the windy roads and Albanian drivers. It was one of my favorite days in Albania!
Great tour with stunning views and amazing swimming. This tour is not for you if you get really carsick because of the roads. It’s a very popular destination so be prepared for a lot of people.
Our guide, Dave, was exceptionally helpful—he picked us up right outside our hotel in Tirana and dropped us off at the exact same spot at the end of the day. Throughout the entire journey, he made sure to show us the most important landmarks and breathtaking scenic viewpoints. A truly fantastic experience, highly recommended!
Day tour very successful. You end up in beautiful places and you can take beautiful photos with your friends or loved ones. Unfortunately, traveling from Tirana to the Albanian mountains is very far. On the way back it took 4.5 hours, which is no fun.
The Blue Eye of Theth was amazing! The hike to it was a lot in the heat and it’s starting to become overcrowded by tourists, but the water is so cold that everyone jumps in and gets right out and you can still get the pictures you want. I just wish we had more time there. I loved learning about the history of Theth and the culture that still remains. Our guide was great and you could tell he’s very passionate about what he does.
I had booked a trip to Theth from Tirana on 23/07/26 with this company through Tripadvisor app going on 26/07/26. I was really looking forward to it and it was the highlight of my trip. On the morning of the of the 25/07/26 the company contacted me to ask could I change my trip from the 26/07/26 to the 27/07/26. I explained I already had another tour booked and if I was able to reschedule that one without having to pay any charges I would. I was able to change my booking. On the evening of the 26/07/26, I sent a message at 5.00pm asking what and where was my pick up. I was told at that stage that the trip was cancelled. I was so annoyed as if I had of been told earlier I could have made other plans or secured a booking with another organization. I explained that to them and all they kept offering me was another trip which I did not want. They obviously were short on numbers on it. Really hindsight I should have just cancelled on the 25/07/26 and not changed my plans to accommodate this company. I would strongly advise not to book a trip with them!
Challenging hike but very rewarding and beautiful. Well organized and I had a good time.
This was a great experience! It was a long day, but it was worthwhile due to the beautiful sights. Daniel was an awesome tour guide!
