    Asked on August 15th, 2025

    I am looking to book 2 one day tours for my clients arriving in Tirana in September. Could you tell me the maximum number of people you accept on a tour on a given day? I am looking at booking them in for activities on September 17 and/or 18. Do you have other 1 day tours that are within 2 or 2 1/2 hours from Tirana?

    Does this tour operate in Mid-September (17 or 18 September)? What time would pick up be in Tirana? Is this a private tour? How many people maximum can go? There would be a group of 3-4 people. How long is the hike up the mountain, is it possible to swim in the lake? Is there a place to get lunch there? What time is the return to Tirnana?
