Our trip with Marjan was amazing! Beautiful nature, stunning views, a kind and funny tourguide! There is a group max of 8 people. He's also a incredible driver. You are in good hands if you get sick during bumpy car rides ;)

The host was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. He made us feel comfortable the whole day and was always happy to answer questions and make sure everyone had a great experience.I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Albania. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!

From the day we booked directly with the company, Marian couldn't have been helpful in ensuring we had everything we needed.Marjan our tour guide was amazing and the tour was amazing. He made sure we got to the top of the mountains and back down. He would always came to my support if I was finding parts of the climb difficult, and quickly got me through these. Throughout the day he was always there and offered support to everyone in the group.If I said that Majan was one of the best tour guides we have used, then we wouldn't be lying as it was one of our best tours we have done.Thank you Marjan for a fantastic day Janet & Steve

We had an amazing experience! The organization was excellent from start to finish. They even contacted us in advance about the weather and offered to move the activity earlier so we could enjoy the day as much as possible.The whole crew was incredibly kind, attentive and welcoming. They really cared about our comfort — when I got cold during the boat trip, one of the crew members even lent me a jacket. 🥹Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. We highly recommend it! ❤️

Magnificent Jeep tour into the mountains. It had everything: very beautiful views of the mountains, a tour to the waterfall and the Blue Eye, Theth with its church, hidden swimming spots that you can only reach with a 4x4. Interesting information about culture and history.

Thank you Drini Times for an Awesome experience on the lake! I really enjoyed your unique paddle board tour with the comfortable seat, it made all the difference! Having a guide and being able to paddle through the wetland natural area was such a highlight! Our guide was very knowledgeable , excellent communication and very helpful! Truly an Amazing time on your tour! Highly recommend!

Grateful to the good folk at Balkans Sierma & Brikenna (office), Ervin (tour guide) and Ronis (driver) who took excellent care of us during the 5 days. They really made all the difference! We particularly enjoyed Valbona!】

Ask for Sierma & Bricenna to handle your tour. Very obliging and responsive. Ervin was an excellent guide throughout our walk. He’s a mountaineer and volunteers in emergency services so you can’t go wrong. Ronis our driver was a careful and safe driver through the windy mountain roads and very pleasant

We had a great day trip with Ilir! Shkodër was beautiful, and the farm and Venetian mask museum were both really unique stops that made the day feel special. Ilir was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. It was a great way to see a different side of Albania beyond Tirana. Highly recommend!

It’s a steep hike to the Blue eye, but worth all the sweat equity you put into it. Watch the edges of the Cliff.

We had the pleasure of taking this tour with Elvis. We loved Elvis. Very charismatic, funny, approachable and friendly, good fun. He was super enthusiastic about the local area and told us lots of its rich history. He took us to excellent stopping points on our hikes and drives and was such a great guy to introduce us to Albania. The locations themselves were beautiful and exceeded all expectations. Would book a multi day trip next time / find accommodation in the national park itself.

We highly recommend this SUP tour! The water is warm, the surroundings are beautiful, and it's a great way to enjoy nature.If you have the time, definitely extend the tour. We did, and it was absolutely worth it because the scenery gets even more beautiful. You also don't have to paddle that much since the current helps you along.The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They also gave us some great tips on places to visit and things to do in the area. We had a fantastic experience and would definitely do it again!

We had a wonderful time! We enjoyed the tour very much and laughed a lot during the tour. Vilson is a great tour guide and a good entertainer. Not only that we enjoyed the hike, the beautiful scenery, we also learned a lot of history about Albania. Through out the tour, Vilson took very good care of us, making sure we are safe especially during the hike. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the hidden side of Northern Albania!

This activity made our hike much easier and well organised. Pick up was punctual, the ferry on Komani Lake and the stop at Shala River were unforgettable, and the map was very helpful. The team was quick to assist when needed, making the whole Valbona- Theth tour a great experience. Highly recommended!

Loved the Koman and Shala river trip ! The ferry ride on Komani lake was stunning and the staff were friendly and helpful. A perfect day trip for anyone visiting northern Albania !

We had an incredible 4-day trip through Theth, Valbonë, and Komani Lake with Choose Balkans. Everything was well-organized, and our guide Parid was fantastic—knowledgeable, kind, and always making sure we were taken care of.The Valbonë Pass hike was tough but so rewarding, and the ferry ride on Komani Lake was stunning. We loved staying in guesthouses, eating local food, and getting a real sense of northern Albania.Highly recommend this trip if you want a mix of adventure, culture, and breathtaking scenery in just a few days.Tip: Pack light for the hike or use the luggage transfer—it’s a game changer!
