Awesome trip North... - Just.myself and the wife ended up going and we had Armir. He was excellent. A fountain of knowledge. We learnt a lot about the history of Algeria on the way there, and lots of stuff about Schkoder castle and it's surroundings. Had a decent lunch at the restaurant. Took a walk. Generally had a blast. Definitely recommend and hope you get Armir like we did.

Thank you Ervis! - Our guided tour of Shkodër and Mrizi i Zanave Agritourism with Ervis was a delightful experience. Ervis’s deep knowledge of Shkodër’s history and the organic delights at Mrizi i Zanave made the day not just a tour but a culinary and cultural adventure.
