“Xhulio was a FANTASTIC tour guide. From the moment we met in the plaza, he was excitedly sharing about the history of Albania and Tirana. I love history, so this was a very special part of the tour for me, but I also really loved the walk up the famous pyramid. He was patient as we climbed the stairs, pausing to give me opportunity to take breaks and photograph the scenery. It was WONDERFUL. If you're thinking of coming to Tirana, you have to do this tour! Albania is rich and full of history, culture, and absolutely beautiful people. They are so kind, and I've just had the BEST experience…”

“I really liked this tour, out guide Martel was great, apologies if i typed his name wrong, there was only 5 of us on the tour. He was on time, spoke to all of us, snd gave us some history and background and brought us to all the lovely food stops. Although the last stop for the drink "Rockii" nearly kiled my stomach. Overall this was fun and i highly recommed especially the guide. Thanks Mate.”
Berat Walking Tour with Bruno: Berat Castle and Gorica Bridge, small-group history, and pro photos for $18.10.
“Bruno, a lifelong resident of Berat, was thorough, patient and had thoughtful answers for all our questions. He takes you up to the castle which is also a huge perk (one doesn't want to walk up!) But Bruno knows everyone in town and easily organised a taxi up for us. He sincerely said contact him if we needed any local recommendations or anything and he was responsive and so helpful when we did text him after. It was so welcoming of him to show us his home and his pride and love for his town shines through.”

“I went into the tour knowing nothing really about Albania, its history, or the city or Tirana. Albiona explained the history of Albania in detail and provided so much insight into each phase that I could not believe it. Albiona is so passionate about Albania and protecting its history and culture and she is a perfect spokesperson for tourism! We saw so much in the few hours and places I definitely would not have found or went to without Albionas knowledge. Such a great few hours. Thank you so much Albiona for your time and insights. I will definitely be recommending this to anyone that travels to Tirana.”

“Highly recommend! We’d already been in Tirana for 3 days when we took the architecture/street art tour. This tour helped me re-see many things I’d pass by before without fully understanding & then look more closely at other architecture & art during the rest of my week’s stay. So interesting & relevant in understanding the larger influences at work in Tirana 2025.👍”
