- Sara· January 30th, 2020Well-organized tour, beautiful places and great tour guide. We really enjoyed the ferry boat ride through Komani Lake! The people at the guest house were also very welcoming and we were able to hike at our own pace without having to rush and we had enough breaks. Definitely a part of Albania that I recommend everyone to visit!Show more
