Myself and my two young children (6&8) had a wonderful tour visiting Kruje Castle. Afrim was our favourite guide we've had this week. He was full of knowledge. He was especially kind and welcoming to my children and kept them fully engaged in the tour. Thank you Afrim. You made our trip special. We wish you were our guide for the full week!!
