    This is a must to do if you are visiting Albania. It is one-day and you will love the breathtaking views of the lake, the mountain and the road. The resturant is a must to try with village organic meat.

    Difficult weather ie steady and quite heavy rain made the initial arrival at the mountain. Deo was excellent at managing everything, enabling us to stay in the restaurant until weather had cleared and being flexible with what the group wanted. The actually hike was managed very well, Deo regularly checked everyone was happy, chilled but professional and a good manner of working with people. The rock ascent, not for the faint hearted possibly was handled very well. No pressure but those that wanted to were given help and encouragement. Great selfie opportunity though I didn't stand on the rock just sat on it. Quite a few in the group just held back and enjoyed view from rest of the mountain. As I say, no pressure to go outside your comfort zone but felt very safe. Thank you Deo for a great day out in not the nicest of weather conditions. Safe driver too up some unmade narrow mountain roads. Recommended!
