1. הסיור יצא בזמן. 2. המדריך נתן תוך כדי נסיעה לכרם מידע כללי על האזור, על גידולי כרמי היין ועל הכרם הספציפי שאליו נסענו. 3. כאשר הגענו לכרם המדריך הסביר במפורט על זני הענבים השונים ועל מועדי הקטיף של כל אחד מהם. 4 בייקב עצמו ערך לנו המדריך סיור באזור ים השונים והסביר לנו על תהליך הייצור מהאשכול שנקטף ועד הבקבוק. 5. לאחר מכן טעמנו 3 סוגי יין )לבן, רוזה ואדום( כולל הסברים על כל אחד ואחד מהם. ליוו את היין גבינות, נקניקים ופרוסות לחם עם תבלינים ושמן זית. 6. חזרנו לנקודת המוצא מרוצים מאוד. המדריך היה מעולה.

Soni is the best guide We did the waterfall and walking tour of the cannyon and Soni was an amazing guide. The hike was quite steep and I was nervous about slipping as I'm clumsy but Soni was a great help and very supportive. The views were breathtaking and the hidden bar is a little oasis.

We went tubing in the Osumi Canyon and it was a wonderful time and a fantastic adventure! The entire tour team was very helpful; special thanks go to our guide, Soni, for sharing so much knowledge and bringing a great sense of humor :) Logistically, the trip was excellently organized—the number of guides was well-matched to the number of participants, information was clearly communicated, and the transport was comfortable. We also appreciated the quality equipment and the refreshments and water provided. We really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who loves adventure and doesn't mind getting a little dirty :)

We had a fantastic tour with our guide Emiljano ! He was incredibly generous with his time, and the tour even ran a little longer than expected. He knew so much about the history and made it lively and entertaining with his own stories and experiences. We learned a lot and had a great time. Highly recommended! Jana and Dominik

Wir haben die Tubing Tour zum Osumi Canyon gemacht. Tolle Tour mit kleinem klimatisiertem Bus. Der Guide war gigantisch, sprach gutes Englisch und hat sehr viel während der Fahrt erzählt. Das Tubing war sehr schön im Canyon. Etwas anstrengend, da wenig Wasser aktuell. Das inkludierte Essen war lecker.

Ontzettend gezellige wijn tour gedaan met THE PROFESSOR WINE TASTING. Echt een hele enthousiast man met veel leuke tips en verhalen. Nog nooit zo'n gezellige wijn tour gehad. Je moet zeker niet met een lege maag aankomen want de Raki vloeit in overvloed en drinkt erg makkelijk weg 😜 De wijn is ook echt heel erg lekker!

We had a really great experience with Visit Albania on the Osumi Canyon and Bogovë Waterfall tour by Vato. From the beginning, the team was friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with, which made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. The tour itself was beautiful and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Albania. The Osumi Canyon was amazing to see, with incredible views along the way, and the visit to Bogovë Waterfall was also really nice. It was a great combination of nature, sightseeing, and a bit of adventure, without feeling rushed. Our guide was great and made the experience even better. Everything was well organised, and we always knew what was happening and where we were going. We also really appreciated that the tour gave us enough time to enjoy the places rather than just quickly stopping for photos. For the price we paid, we felt it was really good value for money. If you're staying in Berat and want to explore some of the beautiful nature around the area, I would definitely recommend this tour. We had a lovely day and would happily book with Visit Berat again.

The information was comprehensive, and the sites visited gave a great sample of the history and locality. The food and wine experience was superb - and Emiliano’s description of the food and wine added to the overall experience. The wine was excellent and certainly a wonderful way to finish the tour!

We had a great walking tour of Berat with Emiljano! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and explained the history of the city in an interesting and easy-to-follow way. The tour was well paced, and we got to see and learn much more about Berat than we would have on our own. Emiljano was also happy to answer any questions along the way. Definitely recommended if you want to discover Berat and understand more about its history and culture. Thank you for a great tour! 😊

L’expérience était géniale, surtout grâce à notre guide, Soni. Il nous a notamment raconté et expliqué l’histoire de l’Albanie, c’était un vrai plus. Sans lui, l’activité aurait été sympa, mais sa présence a rajouté une vraie plus-value. Je remercie également les deux autres accompagnateurs, ils ont été très gentils.

Unser Guide Emiljano hat uns mit viel Wissen und Leidenschaft die Geschichte, Kultur und Besonderheiten von Albanien und Berat nähergebracht. Besonders schön war, dass wir zahlreiche lokale Spezialitäten probieren konnten. Es war eine rundum schöne Tour, die wir absolut weiterempfehlen können.

Fantastic Day Trip I was the only person on the tour, and I appreciate that they did not cancel on me (other tours I found required a minimum of 2 people). Igi is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to chat with. I enjoyed learning more about Albania and also had great conversations with him that would not have happened if we were a larger group. Visiting Osumi was a highlight of my trip to Albania; the canyon is breathtaking and the various view points and stops highlight the grandeur of it. Highly recommend this tour!
