A Memorable Shala River Tour - My experience on the Shala River tour was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide, Defrim, deserves special recognition for his attentiveness, informative commentary, and dedication to ensuring the day was truly memorable. He thoughtfully catered to everyone’s needs and preferences, making sure we all had the best possible experience.
As the tour was out of season, we benefited from an intimate group size of just five including Defrim. The small group added a personal touch to the day. Fortunately, the weather was on our side allowing us to fully appreciate the stunning scenery and breathtaking views.
A few practical tips for future participants:
- **Dress warmly:** It can get chilly during the boat ride, so a jacket is recommended.
- **Wear comfortable walking shoes:** There's plenty of walking involved, so suitable footwear is essential.
- **Bring swimwear:** The river offers an opportunity for a swim.
- **Carry cash:** Card payment options are not an option in the area.
- **Prepare for boat changes:** Water levels can mean you need to switch boats during the journey.
All in all, it was an incredible day and an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of the Shala River and Komani Lake.

Sensational - My tour of [Albania ] was an unforgettable experience that I can only recommend to every travel enthusiast. The holiday began with an excellently organized meeting place where we got to know all participants. Our tour guide, Maria, was not only knowledgeable but also very warm and made sure we felt in good hands at all times.
The journey took us through various cities and landscapes, from picturesque villages to historic towns to impressive natural wonders. Especially impressive was the visit to [special place or landmark], whose beauty was simply overwhelming. We always had plenty of time to explore the sights, but there was also plenty of room for spontaneous discoveries.
The accommodation was overall well selected: Hotels that offered both comfort and authentic charm, and the food was always delicious, though not always varied. The excursions were well thought out and offered a balanced mix of culture, history and nature. The highlight was certainly [a special experience, e.g. a hike, a boat tour or dinner in a special restaurant].
Group sentiment was also a plus. Despite the different countries of origin and age groups, friendly contacts quickly emerged. It was pleasant to travel in a group where you always felt supported and still had enough freedom.
The only small downer was the sometimes long journey time between the destinations. There have been moments when you have longed for more breaks or shorter stages. But that was also part of the adventure, as you could get to know so many different facets of the region.
All in all, it was a wonderfully varied and well organized trip. I have collected many new impressions and am already looking forward to the next adventure. If you are looking for a comprehensive and well-structured discovery tour, this is definitely the right place.

Woow..what a great experience!!!!! - Wow ...Tour to another planet
I can't express myself enough, what a great experience I had today on this very tour. We started from Tirana towards north of Albania. Very comfy ride. Our tour leader Landi was very funny and joyful. Lot of knowledge.
But the cherry on the top was the bout trip. I never thought that I could find such beautiful places in Albania. It was like another dimension; having a bout trip in the middle of the mountains.
I strongly suggest this tour, especially with these guys. They make the tour unforgettable!!!!
