He was very flexible and adapting the tour based on what we were most interested in (e.g. whether we drove or walked up the mountain, and whether we wanted a guided tour of Kruje or a bit of freedom). After picking us up from our apartment at a time of our choice, we started the drive, and Henri told us about Tirana. We saw the amazing view at Bovilla Lake and we had plenty of time to explore the summit and take in the views over a coffee. Then we went to Kruje where we also had time to explore. Everything was booked…”
