  • Hiking tour of Koman Lake, Valbona and Theth from Tirana or Shkoder in 3 Days reviewer 1
    · February 20th, 2025
    From start to finish, Go As Local exceeded our expectations. The trek from Valbona to Theth was stunning, and thanks to their seamless organization, we could focus entirely on the beauty around us. Our guide, Daniel was fantastic, sharing local history and making sure everyone felt comfortable. The guesthouses were well-chosen, offering delicious food and warm hospitality. I would 100% book with them again!

    The mountains of Theth are the most beautiful mountains I have ever seen, such nature is to be admired. Valbona and Koman too were wonderful places, but Theth was something else. This said, the guide was most helpful in asnwering every question asked and not seeming the least bit annoyed even if the same question was repeated! I would totally recommend this tour to someone who loves hiking, nature and stunning mountains!

    Hannah

    Asked on May 13th, 2025

    Is the luggage transport included or must everything be carried by yourself?

    Transport
    • Go as Local OperatorWritten May 2025

      Luggage is stored in Tirana for free at our office. During the hike you will need to carry a backpack with the essential clothes needed during the tour.

  • K

    Kristen

    Asked on April 11th, 2025

    We were wondering if we need to bring hiking equipment? As we aren't planning to go a hiking holiday, and won't have backpacks ,just suit cases. Can we hire a back pack and leave out suitcases somewhere?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Go as Local OperatorWritten April 2025

      Hiking gear is not required as it is not a difficult hike. But hiking shoes are needed as parts of the trek are rocky and other shoes may not be a good choice. You will need a small backpack for the items needed for the 2 nights. The rest of the suitcases can be stored for free at our office.

    Andrew

    Asked on March 31st, 2025

    Do you recommend any hotels close to the pickup point on the 18th, so that transport within Tirana would be easier for me?

      Andrew

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      On the 20th when the tour ends, what time would we be reaching at Tirana? So that I can book my flights on the 21st accordingly.

      Andrew

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Will you have vegetarian options for meals during the hike?

    • Go as Local OperatorWritten March 2025

      The vegetarian options are easily adjustable. You can book any hotel in Tirana, as we offer pickup from your location. We suggest something closer to the center as it gives the opportunity to visit some of the city just by walking.

    • Go as Local OperatorWritten March 2025

      Please note that the hiking trail between Valbona and Theth is still covered in snow, making it unsafe for hikers unless they are equipped with specialized gear, and we do not recommend or do this hike in these conditions. As an alternative, we would be happy to offer you a tour in the nearby Kelmend region, which is just one valley over. The region offers the same stunning natural beauty and is equally popular for hiking. We can organize a hike to Vajusha Peak, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Albanian Alps. The tour is 3 days long as well.

    Sonia

    Asked on January 6th, 2025

    Is it possible to add the Blue Eye mountain pool, short hike from Theth to this itinerary?

    Tour Details
    • Go as Local OperatorWritten January 2025

      Since the tour takes place in early spring, there is still a possibility of snow in the area, which might make the Valbona-Theth hike challenging or unsafe. However, we can still explore Theth over the course of two days. The best approach is to monitor the weather as we get closer to the date. If the snow melts and conditions allow, we may be able to proceed with the original itinerary and include the Blue Eye. However, we cannot confirm this just yet, as it will depend on the weather at that time.

    Could you please advise the condition of the trek?

    Tour Details
    • Go as Local OperatorWritten October 2022

      At the end of October we often have colder weather and chili weather, with a high chance of rain. On the other hand, the trail is totally doable.

    I am very interested in this tour! I want to make sure that this would be a group tour even though I am joining alone. I want to make sure that this tour wouldn't cancel because of an insufficient number of participants.
