Throughout the whole trip, he kept sharing fascinating stories about the history of Albania and its people, and even opened up about parts of his own life, which made the experience feel very personal and genuine. It felt more like traveling with a friend than with a guide. I really hope our paths cross again and that Altin will be my guide the next time I’m in Albania. Highly recommended!”

It would have of course been nice to climb higher, but we certainly understood the limitations given the high activity from Etna.”
