Highlighted reviews from other travelers
I really enjoyed my trip to Koman Lake/Shala River. The area is so beautiful and not crowded at all, a true hidden gem. As the description says, it’s a long day with a lot of driving through the mountains and around the winding roads so be prepared. We made some stops on the way for refreshments, I would recommend bringing a jacket for the boat trip as it’s windy and the water splashes up into the boat. For lunch we all sat together as a group and shared some nice food, I liked the fish and the traditional dessert. What made this trip so special was the wonderful guide Armand, he is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and you can tell that this is not just a job for him but a passion. Pick up and drop off right outside my hotel as well which was great. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are coming to Albania.
Endri made the experience that much more enjoyable - a really great guide, very knowledgeable, and very kind!
