Albania · BERAT TOURS
A thousand Ottoman windows stacked up both banks of the Osum, a castle still lived in, and a canyon an hour away with rafts on it. These 15 Berat days split between the town itself, the Osumi run and the wineries in the Roshnik hills, each priced and timed from Tirana or from the town.

Review of the Osumi Canyon and Bogova Waterfall tour from Berat, with swimming, viewpoints, local food, guide tips, price, and practical advice.
“Mijn vriend en ik hadden de tour geboekt en bij start bleek dat wij de enige waren. Onze tourguide (Genti) had ons mee op sleeptouw en deed het enorm goed. Hij wist veel te vertellen over de omgeving onderweg maar ook bij de waterval en de Canyon. Daarbij doet hij zijn best om het jou naar je zin te maken en speelt dan ook als fotograaf zonder dat je dat hoeft te vragen. Wij hebben een super leuke dag gehad!”
Review of the Osum Canyon and Bogove Waterfall tour from Berat, with swimming, hiking, lunch, cultural stops, price, tips, and practical details.
“This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Albania! Definitely recommend it if you visit Berat. Our tour guide Ervis picked us up at the hotel and drove us around the main spots while explaining interesting details about the sites and albanian culture. During the hikes we also had time to explore on our own pace, swim in the waterfall and the canyon. It wasn't an intense hiking experience, which we were happy about, as we still drove south to Sarande after the tour. Thank you for the tour!”

“Bruno, a lifelong resident of Berat, was thorough, patient and had thoughtful answers for all our questions. He takes you up to the castle which is also a huge perk (one doesn't want to walk up!) But Bruno knows everyone in town and easily organised a taxi up for us. He sincerely said contact him if we needed any local recommendations or anything and he was responsive and so helpful when we did text him after. It was so welcoming of him to show us his home and his pride and love for his town shines through.”

“Lovely day cooking in Berat. We made all the traditional dishes and truly they all tasting amazing. Nina was lovely and her friend that helped translate was really an incredible and interesting person. We enjoyed learning to cook the recipes , enjoying a delicious meal and even the sweet treat she gave us at the end of the meal.
