★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 116 reviews · 11 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $76Our pick

Review of the Albanian Alps and Theth day tour from Tirana, including the Blue Eye hike, mountain views, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Landscapes were out of this world in October. Rain and clouds didn’t break our trip, but I can imagine we would not enjoy it that much if we had heavy rain as the hike is rocky and steep (no complain, worth it!) Our driver Noli was a very good driver and fun to hang out with during the day. The lunch was very good. We had vegetable omelette, chicken and veal meat, vegetable salad, chips, olives with yogurt and bread. All delicious. We felt a bit rushed during the hike, but we understood it was to squeeze all that is planned into our itinerary. The church of Teth is just…”

Hike Albania’s Valbona Pass, Theth, and Blue Eye on a guided 3-day trip from Tirana with mountain guesthouses and local meals.

“This was a great hiking tour - the main hike was truly incredible with amazing views and it was great learning more about Albania. The guest houses were comfortable and food delicious and generous portions. The tour ran very smoothly, we had an injury in our group and the guide went above and beyond to make sure they got back safely. Daniel, our guide, was a very interesting and knowledgable man and truly made the tour unique. I would recommend moderate fitness for the tour as main hike is tough, but well worth it, and you are required to carry your bags (so pack light!)”

“The trip with Ervin was great! We had a very nice time. Some communications issues, due to intermediate English, but that was totally fine. For others I would say that the food in the guesthouses is traditional, so you will eat the same everyday (not very vegetarian friendly). Also it was not timed super well for lunch in some parts of the trip, so I would recommend to bring some snacks that you can eat throughout the trip. I would say you need to be an intermediate/experienced hiker for the trip. All in all it was a great experience and I would recommend Ervin as a guide!”
