“What an incredible day trip from Shkodër to Theth! We got to experience the Blue Eye and the beautiful Theth waterfall, and enjoyed a delicious lunch along the way. Our guide, Marjan, was truly awesome, such a welcoming host, excellent driver, clearly loved by everyone in Theth, and has the freshest fade in the Alps. He impressed us with his knowledge and heartfelt passion for Albania and its culture. The group we traveled with made the day even more special, such kind, friendly, and respectful people.

“Essential transfer service if you're looking to do the Valbona to Theth hike (the more optimal route). What didn't jump off the page for us: 1) Either stay in Valbona for one night, then make your hike to Theth the next day; or 2) Be prepared for a very long journey before your hike!
