Great tour absolutely worth doing! Thank you Eri - a wonderful guide with so much helpful insight and perfect English!
Arber our tour guide is the top of the top. He was so engaging and informed on Albanian history and culture. Would recommend 100%.
The tour with Eri was brilliant and very informative . We had already seen most of the sites but he made the experience better. Unfortunately this was our last day and we didn’t have any cash . Before we booked, we read the bits about tips are welcome but optional, so we thought we would be ok. Eri didn’t like the lack of tip at the end after I explained it and turned verbally quite nasty. Maybe tourtirana should change how they advertise this tour with tips expected or even compulsory
The guide clintini (or similar) is so passionate and loud and speaks very good English and gives a lot of good information. Really good tour and pace is good even for seniors.
A wonderful 2 + hours we spent with our tour director. She was so knowledgeable , sweet and open to questions asked. Her personal family story added depth to our understanding of the different political and cultural events shaping the city of Tirana and the country of Albania! Highly recommended.
The tour with our guide Makbule was special: not only is she extremely friendly and knowledgeable historically, but also an interesting person to converse with for an exchange of opinions on the geopolitical and historical current events of Albania. I have participated in many free walking tours, but this one will definitely leave me with something more in addition to all the historical information about the city and its troubled past; thanks to Makbule, I discovered the history of Radio Maria! Thank you for everything!
Great tour guide with wealth of knowledge both from education and that passed on. Gives you a very good perspective of Albania from before and current.
Great tour, our guide was very informative. A great way to find out more about the city. Would recommend
K was my host he was an amazing tour guide his memories and the way he told the history was so good I really loved hearing and seeing Albania and Kay he said it amazing 👏
This was the best walking tour that we have done, and we have been on quite a few! Ray was a brilliant guide with lots of information and humour. It was a very well planned route and he managed to find plenty of shade to talk to us on a very hot day. Highly recommended. Thank you.
