    Valbonne pass, although tiring, had some amazing views of mountains and meadows. The waterfalls and pools were a lovely way to finish the final hiking day

    The walks, with the exception of the one into Thethi valley on day 5 (where the tour leader suggested an alternative, very difficult walk which he was unfamiliar with), were all very good. The scenery in Albania is one of its greatest assets. The guest house and it’s location in Valbona was very good.
