Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review 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.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We really enjoyed our stay in Theth! We loved the breathtaking views, the hospitality of the locals and the delicious food. It was nice to be accompanied by a guide, because some of the hikes were quite challenging. Our guide Silvester was really awesome. The nature in the north is the most beautiful in all of Albania; definitely worth the trip!
It would be great if the guide or someone from the organization could sit down with you at the start of the trip to explain the plans for the different days. You receive the itinerary beforehand, which is nice, but in case the plans change (which was the case during our stay) it’s nice to get an update so you know what to expect.

We booked this tour via theti-guide.com.
Always possitive first: greatly choosen initeraty throught the amazing Albanian Alps. The communication before the trip was very good via email/whatsapp and all things described on the website were covered. Also exclutions are explicitly described. Food offered was also great and the accomodation the first night (Valbona) was perfect.
The unprofessionalism of the tour operator started appearing with our guide picking us up in Komani lake. We were picked up by a guide that we were not very sure who he is and he asked us to pay the remaining 200e cash and give us our suitcases, all this without a proper confirmation that he was the right person. It ended up being the right person and all when well but the communication thought the entire tour did not add anything other than confusion. No proper explanation of what we are doing, what is the meeting time or what we actually see. Retrospecively we just had a person in the group who was just speaking Albanian and arranging our bookings/transfers.
Additionally:
- The bus drive from Fierze to Valbona we are still impressed we are still alive. The guy was driving like a maniac in incredibly unsafe situations.
- The first stop in the Shala river is an unecessary tourist thing where you are asked to spend some money and an hour in s super touristy place.
- The accomodation in the Teth was a really bad experience where you arrive after 6-8h hiking and you cannot shower. It also was the least good food we had so far.
To conclude, the initerary and the tour itself are great but there is definately room for improvement.

I booked this trip through TripAdvisor, so you would think they'd done there research and this would be a reputable company. Unfortunately not.
After booking and paying for this trip for 2 people, our tickets arrived and stated we needed to contact the local operator to arrange pickup, and provided a phone number to WhatsApp them on.
I first WhatsApped then 2 months in advance, giving my booking details, and Hotel name for pickup as requested. They read the message and no reply. Thinking this was too far in advance, I tried again a couple of weeks before the trip. Same situation. Read. No reply. As I was starting to feel a bit worried, I asked our Hotel in Tirana if they could ring them for me, which they did and once they eventually got through, they were told that I should WhatsApp them.
The day before we arrived in Tirana, I tried again. No response.
On arrival in Tirana, I tried to ring them a number of times and got no response.
I contacted TripAdvisor/Viator who tried to contact the operator and got no response.
Our hotel said they'd found the company on Google maps, so we tried to find the office. It doesn't exist!
Hoping that it was just poor communication, we waited in our Hotel lobby at 4.30am as stated on the ticket, for over an hour, and no one turned up.
TripAdvisor/Viator have said they have passed the refund request to the company, who obviously won't reply.
I would strongly recommend not only that you don't book this trip or use this company, but that you don't book your trips through TripAdvisor.
You can book trips locally in Tirana through your hotel.

This was poor value. I was nowhere informed that the trip was only 24 hours, was not told was an independen t trip, was left at the falls and had to phone for driver ti collect me, I had to pay twice for taxi back to Tirana. Lovely accommodation. All else was very poor value. I do not recommend.

A wonderful place in the middle of the mountains. Aida organized everything for us and everything was perfect. Our guide, Sylvester, was most kind and attentive, showing us around. The room, the food and the attention at the guesthousr very good too. The excursion to the Blue eye and to the waterfall a great sight. In summary, worki g with this agency has been a great udea.

Thank you so much for a trip! It was super! I saw very beautiful places. The gides were very helpful. The staff of the guesthouses was very kind and the breakfasts and dinners were very tasty!
Manager Aida was very helpful and because of her I could unit 2 trips into 1. So I spent the 5 super-days in the National Park. Aida organised everything the best for me. She found a solution with a bus-transfer and an additional night for me.
I advice this company for everybody!
