Wow! What a view!!

Wow, what a day! This was my first ever hike and our guide Defrim ensured we made a couple of stops on the way up to ensure I was comfortable.
Besides the stunning scenery, I felt our knowledgeable and passionate guide gave us the most wonderful experience ever.
I also had help and encouragement getting a photo at the top of the peak. Not once did I feel afraid.
I love you Albania, you are a true beauty and thank you again to Defrim for everything.
The hike itself was about 50min up. There were obviously large rocks along the way however they were all solid and stable. Recommend some hiking shoes, I bought cheap ones just for the trip and they were great to prevent any slips.
Highlight of my Albania trip

This is the highlight of my trip to Albania. Probably its time for the company to upgrade their service vehicle.

Great trip... stunning scenery... great tour guide. Restaurant at top is also good. Bit of a tough walk in terms of heights & having to climb.
Excellent tour guide and stunning views

Riges our tour guide was brilliant and very knowledgeable about his work and the tour. There was a medium trek before you start your climb up the mountain.
Riges made sure we were all ok during the climb and stopped at certain points during the trek to make sure we hydrated and were ok.
The views from the climb up and on top are breathtaking and I would recommend people doing this tour.
I am afraid of heights but Riga's always made sure I was ok.
Not for the faint hearted...

Lake Bovilla is a beautiful place and makes for an excellent escape from lively Tirana.
What makes our trip more special is our guide Gerion, who is soft-spoken, intelligent and above all, dedicated.
Gerion is also a cautious and patient driver – you need that because a large part of the road leading to Bovilla is unpaved and littered with giant holes. Thanks to Gerion and the car (with a decent suspension system), we didn’t get thrown around and the ride was actually pleasant.
Great trip-Recommended

Magnificent Bovilla lake, one of the hidden Albanian gems
Lisa_A

We enjoyed the trip and the amazing view of the magnificent lake Bovilla from each level during our hike up to the top!
We also enjoyed a great authentic Albanian lunch at the Bovilla restaurant with beautiful view. The highlight of our trip was our experience with our fabulous guide Defrimi. He is very knowledgeable, kind and fun to be with! He took very good care of us as a small group in a comfortable air conditioned car. It was my first hike to this astonishing height, if it was not with Defrimi, I would’ve not made it! He guided me through proper hiking up and going down. Thank you Defrimi for both amazing trips we had with you! The trip to Shala river was magical with unforgettable nature scenes and amazing experiences 😊

Splendid views! The guide for the day, Riges, was knowledgeable and polite. The drive out from Tirana to Bovilla was scenic. This company puts a lot of thought into supporting local communities and making private tours memorable and enjoyable. I highly recommend!
Our highlight in Albania!

Quite a memory

I had a great day travelling to Bovilla, and after hiking up the mountain being able to take in the grandeur of the site was incredible. My guide Riges really did a great job of giving me quite a fond memory of my trip to Albania not only of the site, but during our adventure on the way there.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
