The Historical Daytrip around Tirana

Very interesting tour with a perfect guide, for whom Tirana and Albania in general hold no secrets. A superb experience that I 100% recommend!

Our terrific tour guide brought us to the House of Leaves Museum, followed by a walk around the streets of the city. The tour guide was professional.

We had an exceptional experience with AlbanianTrip Agency, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing tour guide, Elton. From the very beginning, Elton went far beyond a standard guided tour. He didn’t just show us Tirana — he helped us understand it. Through his deep knowledge, passion, and genuine warmth, we were given a true Albanian experience, rich in history, culture, and everyday life. What made the tour truly special was how Elton blended fascinating historical facts with personal stories and local insights, giving us a meaningful and human connection to Albania. Listening to his experiences and perspectives made the places we visited come alive and helped us immerse ourselves far beyond what any guidebook could offer. Elton was engaging, approachable, and attentive, always happy to answer questions and tailor the experience to our interests. His pride in his country and his storytelling skills made every moment memorable. If you’re looking for a tour that combines discovery, authenticity, and heartfelt storytelling, AlbanianTrip Agency is the right choice — and if you’re lucky enough to have Elton as your guide, you’re in for something truly special. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience. If you have the opportunity to book this guide, do so with complete peace of mind — you will not be disappointed. The planning, the explanations, the uniqueness, and the personal touch made the entire experience truly memorable.

the Experience was amazing. He is very nice and knowledgeble

We had a truly delightful family tour of Tirana. Our guide, Ervin, thoughtfully adjusted the pace to suit our needs,especially with a two-year-old in tow, while still providing us with comprehensive insights into the city and valuable knowledge about the country. It was an excellent way to begin our journey, and we would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Albania.

We had an incredible day with Elton our guide. Elton was both amiable and very informative as we spent the whole day touring Tirana, a fascinating city. There were many highlights including opportunities to meet and engage local people and hear their stories. A visit to the Albanian studios movie archive was a real privilege and it included a private viewing of a once banned film. By the end of the day we really felt that we had got to know Tirana and it's people really well. We did a socialist-realism art tour, we are very keen to return and do other tours that this company offer. Thankyou for a wonderful experience!

I am so thankful for Irvin spending an entire day with me on the Communist tour, I learned so much. Irvin was incredibly accommodating, I saw at least ten different sites and that was on a Sunday! Tirana is an amazing city, I cannot recommend this tour group enough!

It was a guided tour starting in Tirana's outskirts, seeing the prefabricated concrete buildings of the sixties, then we continued to the flea market and to a very interesting conversation with the father of one of the organizers, who told us about his life during the communist regime. That, by itself was worth the trip, but we continued visiting the socialist art gallery and walking down the wide avenues of Tirana. We also saw the statue of the Nation's hero, and got comments of all the sorroundigs, a true abridgment of the communist days. Unfortunately, a monument to the memory of the fallen was closed those days, since that would have been the icing in the cake. As interesting as the monuments and places we saw, was the comments of our guide, very knowledgeable of Albanian affairs, as couldn't be otherwise. His English was also excellent. We only have nice words for Albanian Trip for such an amazing day.

This tour was absoultely fantastic! My guide Ervin was funny, polite, patient and very friendly telling me fascinating stories, showed me sights, museums and even got to eat their local cuisine. History can be too much for me to take in but it was explained simpler so it was easier to understand what it was all about. However, what really touched me was meeting this genuine couple who have lived in the days of the dark past expressing and shared their personal memories without fear. How they made through it really amazes me and to hear it coming from the experience was a true blessing, and I also believe this was an inspiration not to take life for granted by always making the most of what we've got whilst it's still there. Ervin did a magnificent job and we got on so well we had a few (social) beers after! It felt like I was with a friend because he was that brilliant!
