“Excellent day trip and great way to see other parts of Albania. I was asked to move by the travel company from day before and group contained mainly Italians. The guide spoke for longer lengths and in more detail to them. There were 4 English speaking on the tour and felt we were being told the basic information- which was helpful. Great stops on the trip and comfortable minibus. On arrival the guide called names out and said we were boarding in order of when booked. Because I had been moved recently, to help the company, I had to board last and was at the very back, felt this was…”

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 Vlore’s speed boat tour to Haxhi Ali Cave, Blue Cave, secluded beaches, and Grama Bay, with practical advice on price, music, food, and safety.
“There were 20 of us on the boat... it’s not a small boat like the pictures, it’s a great speed boat. The music was so loud that we couldn't talk. We had to ask to lower because it would last for 6 hours. Otherwise the landscapes are breathtaking and the water is amazing. I recommend this experience for people who want to party.Auto-translated”

Explore Haxhi Ali Cave, Blue Cave, wild beaches, and Grama Bay on a full-day boat tour from Vlore, with swimming, snorkeling, and mountain views.
“For the price, this tour is okay. It went much longer than expected (nearly 10 hours). You should know, you should be very comfortable in a boat (a small zodiac, close to the ocean and rough in open waters). It’s a lot of one beach, spot, next beach, stop. The distance is a lot further than you’d expect. In the 10 hours, there was no bathroom (important to know, especially for some people). The last beach had a bathroom but was only for customers of the restaurant. The tour said it was English, but no one spoke English. We were very fortunate a couple of other passengers spoke Albanian and…”
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!”
