Reviews and Recognition
Most of what people know about us before they arrive comes from other guests. This page collects where those reviews are, so you can read them at the source rather than take our word for it.
5.0 from 3,735 reviews on our Google Business Profile, written by guests after their trip. Many name the guide who took them down the river. Read the Google reviews.
We do not show these reviews as rating stars in search results for our own website: Google treats a business’s own reviews as self-serving for that purpose, and we would rather you checked the source.
Tripadvisor and Viator
Our rafting trip is listed on Tripadvisor and Viator as Vjosa River Rafting Albania – Est. 2012 Permet, with its own reviews from guests who booked there. If you booked through Tripadvisor or Viator, that is the place to leave yours.
GetYourGuide
The same trip can be booked on GetYourGuide, where reviews are verified against bookings.
What the reviews are about
Mostly the guide in the raft, the water, the photos that arrive after the trip and the children. Read the critical ones too: a river trip depends on the day’s water and weather, and when we have to cancel or move a departure for safety, we say so and refund or rebook.
Leaving a review
After your trip we will send a short message with the link that matches how you booked — Google, Tripadvisor or GetYourGuide. One review, on one platform, is plenty. Photos are welcome.
Recognition of the river, not of us
The Vjosa is Vjosa Wild River National Park (2023) and the valley is a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve (2025). We mention them because they tell you what kind of river you are booking, not as awards to the company: what the two designations mean.
