Tirana - History, Nature, Food and Fun - This tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Gerti, was incredibly knowledgeable and humorous. We had fun while learning about Tirana and Albania. Our tour began as soon as we left our hotel. Gerti pointed out numerous buildings and landmarks of importance. He took us to Skanderberg Square where we learned about Skanderbeg’s rebellion against the Ottomon Empire, King Zog, Communism and more. We toured a communist bunker near the square and learned so much about this devastating time in Albania’s history. Gerti told us about all of the different buildings, paintings, and sights around the square. From the square, we took a cable car to the top of Dajti Mountain. The ride and the views were amazing. We were even able to get in a bit of a hike. After the mountain, Gerti took us to a local restaurant with delicious, traditional, Albanian food. We loved the food and the atmosphere. On our way back to the hotel, he pointed out additional landmarks and explained their importance. It was a wonderful day. Thank you Gerti! We give you and the tour our highest recommendation!
