An excellent trip from Tirana, with beautiful scenery and lovely weather. We stopped at a very scenic restaurant and enjoyed a great lunch. The waterfall was cold but wonderfully refreshing. You can bring your swimming costume for a good dip! Our guide, Skerdi, was knowledgeable, entertaining and excellent company throughout. Highly recommended!
This was a great short day trip! Ramadan was such a lovely host, so friendly and talkative. The waterfall was beautiful and we ended the trip with a traditional lunch for the whole group, which was intimate in size.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip, the beautiful Shengjergj Waterfall, and the traditional lunch together. We’ll make sure to pass your kind words on to Ramadan as well. We hope to welcome you back for another experience in Albania!
The view from the cable car is very pretty The waterfall is worth it despite 30 minutes of walking under a scorching sun of 37 in the rocks to climb As for the guide, I am less optimistic; since we didn't speak English, he totally ignored us, asking a Canadian to take care of the translation!!! We were one too many However, now with Google Translate, but he made me understand that he didn't have the time, honestly not great. I advise French people to brush up on their English, otherwise, meh.
Amazing views and a very enjoyable cable car ride. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Highly recommended!
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.
