“Unforgettable Day in Theth Thanks to Kledis! Our trip to the Blue Eye in Theth was an absolute highlight of our time in Albania — all thanks to our incredible guide, Kledis. From the moment we met him, he was so kind, genuine, and attentive, making sure we felt comfortable and looked after every step of the way. Kledis was not only an excellent guide but also a wealth of knowledge. As we hiked through the breathtaking scenery, he shared fascinating stories and history about the region, which really helped us appreciate the culture and beauty of Theth on a deeper level. He went above and beyond, even driving us…”

“Had the most fantastic couple of days on this hiking trip with a great little group. Our guide Jozef was amazing, so much energy and humour, and the small group dynamic was lovely from the start. It’s an early morning pickup and a longish travel, but the scenery keeps you very occupied. We had great late lunch on arrival to the first guesthouse, and an afternoon walk for viewpoints in the valley. The huge advantage of going with the tour is how the logistics are all sorted and meals covered - only drinks not included. The climb from valbona to the top is moderately difficult, people of all ages taking…”
