旅程
サランダを出発し、シーニックドライブで近くの丘へ（9:00～9:15、15分 ） ： エアコンの効いた快適なミニバンでサランダを出発し、パノラマビューを望む近くの丘へ向かいます。 短いドライブに沿って、専門ガイドがエンヴェル・ホシャ政権下のアルバニアの共産主義時代を紹介し、歴史の中でこのユニークで孤立した時代を探求する1日のコンテキストを設定します。
地下トンネルと丘の上の掩蔽壕の見学（9：15〜10：15〜60分） ： 冷戦時代の本格的なトンネルや、政権の侵略妄想期に作られた掩蔽壕を探索します。 エキスパート家ガイドの案内で、共産主義下の生活のリアルな、身の毛もよだつような物語をお聞きいただけます。監視、強制労働、173,000以上の建造物が点在するアルバニアの大規模な地下壕化プロジェクトなど、さまざまなテーマを取り上げています。
3. 40聖人の修道院訪問 (10 : 30 – 11 : 15, 45分) : ビザンチン建築と風光明媚なロケーションを眺めながら、歴史ある40聖人修道院へと進みます。 ガイドでは、共産主義政権が1967年にアルバニアに世界初の無神論国家を宣言した後、この聖地を軍事基地として再利用し、全国の宗教施設を破壊したり、閉鎖したりした経緯を説明している。

This is a small family operation and not one of those big bus tours. I was privileged to be the only person on the date I chose. Ermal had some great personal stories and anecdotes about the area and it's history. I recommend sturdy walking shoes for the rubble of the ruins and maybe pants. There was some tall grass and a few spiky plants around the bunker. Overall it was a really enjoyable morning and I am really glad I signed up for it!
Jean, your words motivate me a lot to keep moving forward. For me, it was a privilege to meet such a wonderful person in every detail. With your kindness and sincerity, you made our tour a truly enjoyable experience. I am very grateful.
I really enjoyed this tour because I am passionate about war history and military equipment. The guide had excellent knowledge of the World War II period. Experiencing those feelings was amazing. The best part was going deep into the underground tunnel. It was scary because there was no lighting, but it was worth it.
We learned a lot from you during the tour day. Your passion for the military truly left us speechless. I really appreciate your knowledge. It was a pleasure spending time together. Best regards, Ermal
So this tour was just a little unusual and not what we've experienced in the past with other similar type tours. It was a local daughter/father who hosted the tour. We were picked up at your lodging on time and then we picked up the father near the hill side stop to start the tour. We paid a small admission and then walked to the old Soviet bunkers. We probably spent about 45+ minutes there learning about their history and the Soviet era in Albania. What was odd/different was that the daughter basically read various history articles from her phone to us with her father adding some comments along the way. They did answer our questions and overall it was a good historical review but the presentation was just very different. Next we walked through the monastery of the 40 saints for about 30 minutes and learned its history(again via the daughter reading articles from her phone). We ended the 2 hour tour by walking down the road to a recently built mosque and then we were driven back to our lodging. Again, the daughter/father were very nice and shared a lot of history/information but it was just odd having history articles read to you from someone's phone.
: We are truly sorry that we did not meet your expectations. Your comment is very valuable for helping us improve, and we appreciate it. Thank you. However, please do not think that we were simply reading from the internet. At that time, we had made some changes to the structure of the tour, and the content was still quite new for us, so we had not yet managed to memorize everything. We were reading from notes on the phone that we had carefully prepared through long work with history books and personal interviews.
I really enjoyed spending time with the guides. They are a father and daughter duo who were very kind and informative. A tour with locals who share their perspectives and want other to learn more about the history of communism and the impact it has directly from first hand experience. They answered all my questions and the father had a great sense of humor which helped lighten up a bit of some very difficult history. The daughter is impressive in her maturity and respect she shows to everyone around her. She was leading the tour and did an amazing job translating many things when necessary aswell as providing details about the history of communism in Albania. The father provided more perspectives and real life stories on the impact this history has had for him.
Yeyry! We consider you a dear friend and we hope to see you again. We have so many beautiful memories from that tour. You are simply fantastic!
The Cold War tunnels were very mysterious, but it is unfortunate that they are not well maintained. The guide had very good knowledge of the history of that period and explained the events with a great sense of humor. The agency staff are members of a family who strive to be friendly and very professional.
I really enjoyed this tour. We were in Saranda and chose Hidden Stories because we are very interested in the past history of Albania. The guide was friendly and had a lot of knowledge about the places we visited. I recommend it
We had an amazing tour with a lovely local father–daughter duo who took us through a communist-era military bunker perched above Saranda. The spot itself is incredible — with sweeping views over the city and a panoramic look across to Corfu — but what really made it special was their deep knowledge and personal insight. They brought Albania’s communist history to life, answering all our questions about what it was like to live in a completely cut-off state. It was equal parts fascinating, eerie, and eye-opening — a wonderfully weird, off-the-beaten-track experience that we’ll never forget! Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to understand Albania beyond the beautiful beaches.
Good experience. Beautiful view. Best staf and friendly. Good and fast service it was nice day in Saranda. I recommend it to others.
A wonderful private tour led by a father/daughter duo which rewards patience and interest in Albanian history. We explored the ruins of the C6th monastery and Cold War bunkers and finished with a peaceful visit to the mosque. Ermal confirmed pick up time/place by WhatsApp the day before and the tour lasted a little under 2 hours. Recommend good shoes as the sites are very crumbly.
It was an amaizing experience.The Islam history was something new to me .It was was very courageous to enter underground spaces
