Hiking Tour of Valbona, Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days from Tirana

What an amazing experience! Our guide Birken was an absolute joy and shared so much history with our group on our trek. He ensured we were supported, had everything we needed and enjoyed all the beauty from Valbona to Theth.

Make sure you book directly with operator as others add fee !! The entire trip was absolutely fantastic and with a great group of other solo travellers Massive shout out to Briken with his in depth knowledge of Albanian history, the hike itself and all round just being a very nice and dependable guide. We had an issue or two which he very quickly and professionally resolved. Couldn't recommend this trip enough but please go through the operator and not any third party or you'll pay up to 30% more

These three days were the absolute highlight of my trip. Not only was the hike stunning and the Blue Eye beautiful, but everything was so well thought out that I turned my brain off for three days and felt so relaxed even while traveling. Every meal, transportation, and activity was seamless and so well thought out (and the hospitality at the guesthouses was so wonderful). But it was our guides that truly made this trip the best. Dori was knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy on the hike, and he went above and beyond for our group. It was my friend’s birthday and he surprised her with a cake! But just a great guy and a great guide to lead us. Especially because this was the most challenging hikes I’ve ever done, and he was patient and helpful the whole time. The third day Dori continued on with part of the group so Redi took us to the Blue Eye and into Shkoder. He was also amazing! Great on the hike and very trustworthy. He took us to a great traditional restaurant in Shkoder that was delicious. But truly the highlight of the day was our roadtrip! He was not only a great driver but so fun to spend time with, and so happy to answer our questions about Albanian culture. We truly loved this experience and have no complaints. Highly recommend.

in one word fantastic! everything was well arranged, the guide, the overnight stays, the walking tours, the food, transport. Highly recommended, top organization!

The tour was wonderful!!!! Redi is a super guide which made the tour very pleasant, safe, and original thanks to his trust in our hosts and the stories he shared with us. Thank you so much! 🩵🩵🩵

Our hiking tour of Theth and Valbona was nothing less than what we expected. One of the best hikes I ever did, beautiful valleys and rivers and the hike it self was not difficult. It was a well crafted itinerary especially for not the most experienced hikers. We go through Komani Lake and Valbona on the 1st day and in the second we are well rested for the 2nd day big hike. Third day had hiking planned as well, but less than the 2nd day. A special thank you to Riserd who helped us organise everything and our guide Daniel who was very engaging and helpful throughout the whole experience. I recommend this itinerary and adventure for anyone who likes to trek/hike and enjoy beautiful mountainous scenery.

Good itinerary, excellent hikes, beautiful scenery and delicious meals. First accommodation was perfect but second, less so on account of lack of lighting in room. Despite being assured that lunch was included on the last day, clients had to pay their own way. Our guide, Daniel, provided sound information re local history of specific locations but otherwise, appeared reluctant to engage with the group and his manner was often overly brusque. We were constantly being hurried along, allowing little time to simply enjoy and take photos of the environment; an unnecessary precaution since on both occasions, we arrived at the guest houses with a lot of time to spare before dinner.

The places we visit were great, we loved. We loved the first hotel and meals there in Valbona. Its was very comfortable and food was amazing. The second place we stayed in Theth was not good at all. Our bathroom was smelling very very bad. The room was big, but it was cold inside and there were no heating. The food wasn’t good also. The van we had sour transportation in Theth were also really old, and not good an it didn’t look safe. We would like to make an observation about our tour guide, Daniel. We has very rude and impaciente. We couldn’t ask anything that he gave us a bad answer, feeling like we where stupid or a child. And also sarcastic. He was always way apart from the group and saying as little as possible. In the beginning I felt like this was only with me, than I talked to other people in the group and they were feeling the same. He wasn’t being friendly with anyone in our group.

Absolutely fantastic trip. The itinerary is action packed. The walk from Valbona to Theth was absolutely exceptional. Could be rated as one of the best one day hikes in the world. Our guide , Briken,was absolutely brilliant. Had a great sense of humour and was excellent to be with

What a amazing trip, Just perfect! Why? Because ik was organized with care, small group, very nice guesthouses, albanese food prepared by locals, Breathtaking nature and program, and Brikken, our tourguide made it complete with his beautifull attitude, his many stories about the land and the culture, him caring about all of our health during the trip. We laught, we hike, we eat en enjoyed every moment! Just book this trip, it is so incredible!
