Interesting insight into Albanian history & culture - Markel our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the 2 hour tour very informative about the history and culture of Albania. He was passionate about his country and would not want to live anywhere else he said. My son Harry and I came away knowing so much more of this lovely country.

Thank you Gjergj - Our tour guide Gjergj was incredibly knowledgeable, he was friendly and I was impressed at how many languages he spoke and his depth of knowledge. He conducted the tour in both French and English to accommodate us all who were present. I was so impressed how he was able to deliver effectively the historical meaning and information about the places we visited. I left feeling like I know more about Albania and since this was my first visit and first activity I will say it was a great start.
