An unforgettable hiking experience with LIT Travel & Tours! Our hiking tour through the Albanian Alps with LIT Travel & Tours was an fantastic adventure – it couldn’t have been better! From the first contact to the final stage, everything was exceptionally well organized: professional, reliable, and with a wonderfully personal touch. A special thank you goes to our guide Bled, whose warmth, attentiveness, and helpfulness made the tour a true highlight for all of us – especially for our two teenagers. He connected with them so well and enriched our experience with fascinating stories, deep local knowledge, and his genuine passion for the region. Thanks to him, we didn’t just witness breathtaking landscapes but also gained meaningful insights into the culture and traditions of Northern Albania. The tour struck a perfect balance between physical activity, nature, and cultural exchange. Each stage was thoughtfully planned, and while the accommodations were basic, they were authentic, cozy, and exactly what we had hoped for. A big thank you also to Esmeralda from LIT Travel & Tours, who supported us with patience and kindness throughout the planning process. This was an unforgettable journey for our entire family. We wholeheartedly recommend LIT Travel & Tours to anyone who loves nature, hiking, and genuine experiences!
