I've never done a guided tour before and was slightly nervous as a solo traveler but must say I was very impressed and had an amazing day. My guide was incredibly knowledgeable about, not just the mountain, but the history of Albania and so I learned a lot and had all my questions answered. I felt really safe whilst going up the mountain and my guide took some of the most incredible pictures. I cannot recommend the experience and my guide enough. It was a very memorable day and I am very grateful for the experience.
