But the rest was great! I loved it.”

He even took his 4x4 to save us half of the hike to the blue eye so that we wouldn't be so tired to do the second hike up to the waterfall. In the end only I wanted to…”
Private Shkodër to Theth day trip with Theth Waterfall, Blue Eye, Lock-in Tower, and Grunas Canyon hiking, guided.
“Tour was accurate to itinerary listing and it was convenient for transport. However we did not realise it would be a small car taking us and that it was a private tour as we did not see that listed, so we were a bit surprised to be alone. He was prompt on picking us up at 6am to get a an early start. The tour guide had a very eccentric personality and was very chatty, often not leaving any time to enjoy the view.
