    Best way to see the north of Albanian!

    Amazing 3 day, 2 night hiking trip run by Daniel this past May. Daniel was an amazing guide and has extensive knowledge about Albania, the Balkans and hiking. On the drive to Theth he made sure we had everything we need and answered all of our questions. The two hikes on the trip were so beautiful and worth the hike to get there (even in the rain!). The home stay we stayed at in Theth was cozy, friendly and a perfect place to share stories over a traditional Albanian dinner. Only thing I’d note is that there are some discrepancies on the distances and timing (day 1 pickup) from the review and the PDF provided upon booking. Other than that - could not recommend this trip more and request for Daniel if you can!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed review, we are glad you enjoyed the experience!

    A dream

    How can one person write about a dream. This is what this tour was. Everything was more then perfect. From the moment I contacted the agency they enfolded me into their arms and gave me the best experience I could have ever asked for. Ervis my guide was perfect I was traveling solo and he ensured I had everything I needed and was safe. I have been traveling for 4 months and this agency was truly the best I have encountered ever. The hike from theth to the blue eye was stunning and arriving there was a highlight. I also want to add that nothing for this agency has been an issue to the point of when I first arrived I sat with Sirma and mentioned my tooth was sore 20 minutes later I am at the dentist. If you are looking for an agency that goes to the next level this is the one.

    Response from the operator: Hello Lee Anne Thank you for your positive feedback and kind words. We are so glad that you enjoyed the experience with us. You are always welcome to explore more. Warm Regards. Choose Balkans Team

    Great hiking trip with wonderful views

    I can not recommend this tour and ChooseBalkans enough, this was a great experience that I will come back to. From the beginning the communication was great, the team checked up on me regularly to ensure everything was okay. The guide was very experienced and the hikes offered stunning views of the Albanian alps. Highly recommend, I will definitely be coming back and booking my next tour with ChooseBalkans.

    Response from the operator: Hello. Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. Our team aim is to provide you a truly unique experience. We are looking forward to welcoming you back in other tours. Warm Regards, Choose Balkans Team.

    Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tirana.

    How much does Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $616 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tirana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tirana is not rushed.

    Is Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Tirana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tirana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tirana and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tirana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tirana?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tirana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tirana Walking Tour: History, Culture & Hidden Local Gems, Tirana: Traditional Cooking Class with Unlimited Wine & Raki, From Tirana/Durres- Hiking Tour to Bovilla Lake & Gamti Mountain. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tirana?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tirana?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days?

    +

    Included: Entry tickets for the ‘’will be visited’’ sites; Transport provided by the company from Theth to Tirana or Shkoder on day 3; Professional tour leader; Hotel pick up and Hotel drop off in Tirana or Shkoder; and Breakfast.

    +

    What languages is Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days offered in?

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Semi – Private Hiking Tour; Theth & Blue Eye in 3 Days?
