Guided tour from Berat to Osum Canyon and Bogovë Waterfall for swims, viewpoints, a picnic lunch, and Albania stories.
“The trip was amazing. The guide and the driver were really nice and they told us a lot of things about Albania and the district of Berat. The food was local and tasty. We swam in the cold waters of the waterfalls (great experience) and in the canyon. I really enjoyed both, but truth is maybe it would have been better to wear the lifejacket. This is because we swam with the guide for a kilometre against the current and if you're not a good swimmer it could be dangerous. I recommend this trip 100%”
