Amazing nature - This was an unexpected pleasant surprise! The team was amazing and the whole canyon is breathtaking. If someone values the nature and likes sports on water this is something that should not be missed. The transportation was fabulous with the local driver, lunch was on the terrace with magnificent view. Rafting was not difficult as long as tou stick to instructions and work as one team.

Great trip from Berat - Great trip from Berat. The rafting is not really wild but the scenery in the gorge is absolutely amazing. Our guide Endri was superb! Very friendly, helpfull, good explanation and great photographer 😉. Also lunch is very good at a really nice place with great views. One tip for the participants: you get a suit and shoes. You just need a swimsuit during the tour and a towel ( and maybe some warm clothes) for after the rafting. You can take a quick shower after rafting.

Osumi River hiking - We went on the river hiking with Renato and Behar who were the best guides we could wish for. They cared for our safty and Renato gave some explanation about the river and some legends. We had so much fun going in the water and jumping of the rocks. Thank you for this amazing dat Renato and Behar we would 100% recommend!

Best day out near Berat! - My friend and I had a breath taking experience which was orchestrated by very knowledgeable and hilarious tour guides! One guide which stuck out was Reno, he had a lot of interesting things to say about the area and the culture, as well as being a right laugh! The hike included a bunch of jumping from rocks / cliffs into water, swimming, hiking, mud bathing/ clay bathing and friendly banter. If youre an adrenaline junkie like me who loves cliff diving or chill floating and hiking down a river, 10/10 would recommend!

River hiking - Great hike in a beautiful canyon, only disadvantage is that there are a lot of people (30-40) for few guides (4) so there is a significant waiting time at each jump. And beware: we understood it was canyoning but it's not, it's more of a chill hike along a river with some jumps.

A strange experience - We have had so many wonderful experiences in Albania, but this one was a disappointment. On a positive note, the scenery was beautiful and we saw part of the country that we wouldn't have otherwise. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was also quite nice. The service and food there were great. We also really enjoyed talking to the other travelers. It was an eclectic mix, but that's fun and everyone seemed ready for an adventure. For the actual tour, the guides pretty much ignored us, both during the very long van ride and during the actual hike. When we first arrived at the rafting company's base, the guides were arguing and all seemed very crowed and chaotic. We were given neoprene suits but then had to wait for a long time (45 minutes?) and were SO hot. We were told there wasn't a car to drive us to the river because there were so many rafters (I booked this tour months in advance however so it was not a last minute booking). Finally, we climbed into someone's car and were dropped off. There were very few explanations and we learned very little about the canyon or the area. There were no safety instructions and often we were hiking in front of the guides and asking where to go. We finished with a one mile hike in the hot sun, along the road back to the start. In the end, this tour was unprofessional. If you go, load up on water before you start (there is none to drink for a couple hours and it's hot). Enjoy the scenery, which is really beautiful, but expect little in terms of service. Maybe you will be surprised and have a more favorable impression. I hate to leave a negative review but feel others need to know what they're signing up for.

Not what was promised :( - The content does not match what was promised. 1. Start at 10am instead of 8:30am 2. No hiking through the canyon, but a bus ride along with a descent into the canyon for 15 minutes If this is related to the time of year, the tour should no longer be offered like this. 3. Lunch was OK

No value for 80 €! - So-called canyoning was organized despite the very low water level, sometimes we just walked over the stones with dry feet in full gear. Four or five jumps into the water is the "biggest adventure" of the day. The pick-up, transport, rental and lunch worked out, it was fine. There is the option of having the guides take photos of you during the tour, these are sold at lunch for a price of €5 per person. These are then sent either on your cell phone via WA or by email. I paid for three people but never saw the photos. The next day I contacted the organizer by email and requested the photos by email, unfortunately I didn't get a response or photos. As I communicated with other participants, the tour is not worth €80 per person!
