Great alternative tour given by Ashique. It brings you to places you would never think of. It’s a good way of exploring less touristy areas whilst discovering architecture and art.
This was a great experience and very different to the usual walking tours. Ashique brought a unique perspective, routed in an urban planning and architecture background. We visited traditional neighbourhoods that I would not have found otherwise. My favourite parts were our visit to the sculpture studio of Thanas Papa, now run by his son Besart, also an accomplished sculptor, and lunch in a very local cafe. The tour gave me an appreciation of Tirana that I would not have experienced otherwise. Thanks Ashique!
