★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 212 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $47

Explore Albania’s Osum Canyon from Berat with a guided swim, canyoning gear, local lunch, scenic stops, and hotel transfers.

“Positive points: the nature and canyoning experience is really worth. The tour is well organized and the guide Henry was really friendly. Points to improve: the equipment provided needs to be improved. This is particularly important for the old, damaged and dirty water shoes provided. And the water “tshirt” is useless as the water gets in and stays in, should be replaced with upper or full wetsuit. Asides from the equipment, the description is not correct. This tour ONLY includes the canyon and not all the other things mentioned. Please adjust description. Comparing to other competitors which combine this tour with Bogova waterfall, I consider this tour too expensive.”

“Our tour was led by Randi and Ervis. Before the excursion Randi contacted me and informed that he's gonna be the tour guide for the day, making sure to introduce himself to us even before tour. During the tour we went to all of the places which are described in the travel plan. Tried local handpicked tea, had traditional meal after canyons and overall we had a great time. In the canyons you have to go in to the water with your shoes, I had sandals which time to time got stuck in the mud, Ervis was so nice and carried my sandals for those parts where they might get…”

Cook traditional Albanian dishes with Mama Nina inside Berat Castle, then sit down to a warm local meal with views and a translator.

“We would absolutely do it again. My favorite part was the hosts sharing about their lives, learning about a youth under the communist regime, and all the changes that have occurred in the Berat Castle village over time. This isn't a Cordon Bleu class on special cooking techniques for luxury foods. Instead it's an opportunity to learn how real Albanians cook traditional foods in a home setting. Absolutely recommend.”
