★★★★★★★★★★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.

2.Hiking Tour of Valbona, Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days from Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 73 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $524

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!)”
