Tour guide (Youssef) was also friendly, made sure he waited for the group and not race ahead, gave lots of really interesting facts and history about the waterfall and Moroccan culture. Would highly recommend despite the long drive, it was 100% worth the wait”

He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about his country. 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!”
