Great Experience! Highly recommend for all nature and explorer lovers. The guide was very helpful and professional. 5/5 an unforgettable experience 🔥🔥
North Albania in 3 DaysWe had a fantastic adventure on this trip with our guide, Hergen. Really an unforgettable experience. I’d say the hikes are moderate—not technical, and we were walking for eight hours on the valbona to Theth hike so it’s perfectly manageable if you have a reasonable fitness level
