Suela is a fabulous guide! She is extremely knowledgeable and explained Albania’s history and culture in a very informative and enjoyable way. This walking tour is a must do while in Tirana. Thank you Suela!
Our tour guide Genti was so great! He was very knowledgeable and passionate and made the whole trip very enjoyable, showing us around different spots and explaining the history of Albania. Would highly recommend ☺️
We took the tour with the guide Genti. After a thorough explanation that took place in Skanderbeg Square about the history of Albania and Tirana, we started the tour. As we moved through the city, we were able to appreciate the different cultures that have passed through the city over the years; Genti also showed us some historical images that made the walk together more interesting. He speaks Italian very well, is very knowledgeable, and it was a pleasure to have him as our guide. Super recommended. If you get him as a guide, you will be very lucky!
It was a lovely experience for us
This was a fantastic walking tour. Ghenty was so knowledgeable and genuinely fun to talk with. He adjusted the tour to our interests when needed, which was great.
We did a walking tour of Tirana with Marsel and it was one of our highlights of the trip. The group was small, which made it relaxed and easy to engage. Marsel, having grown up in Tirana, brought the city’s history to life—especially its isolation and how much it’s changed in the last decade. His personal perspective made it far more interesting than a typical tour. We went as two friends and both agreed it was the perfect way to understand the city. Highly recommended.
We had the pleasure of taking a walking tour of Tirana with Jani and the experience was really excellent. From the first moment he was extremely kind, helpful and passionate in telling the history and culture of the city. During the tour he gave us interesting and never trivial explanations, making the visit engaging and pleasant. In addition to this, we really enjoyed his recommendations on other places to visit and restaurants to eat: following his directions, we discovered authentic places and ate really well. We highly recommend Jani to anyone who wants to discover Tirana in depth and with a careful and prepared guide. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!
What I liked about Tirana was not just the city, but the way it went through. Walking with Yani, a historian by training, is walking with an open book a living book, which advances, which connects, which makes dialogue between the epochs. Thanks to him, the fear of yesterday does not remain frozen in bunkers: it becomes memory, understanding, then energy. Tirana does not explain her past, she transforms it. Between multiple legacies, modern impulses and profound respect for human beings, the city can be read differently when someone knows how to tell the soul of it. And sharing this with my son makes the moment even more precious. This trip lasted only a few hours. But he went through the past, present and future and stayed.
I booked the tour to Tirana city on foot, Jani's guide was fantastic. Professional and above all great person who managed to make me understand and feel the great history of this beautiful city. Undoubtedly a wonderful experience, thanks for everything
The walking tour was worth the price and a must visit. Learning about the culture and history of the country was an eye opener. The english guide Eri was brilliant and funny and we would recommend him again.
