Great overview of Albanian history and Tirana sights - Albiona was the perfect tour guide. She is super knowledgeable about the history of Albania. We took a nice tour of the city and she pointed out all of the important buildings and architecture. We stopped for a taste of Raki and even a few minutes in the bazaar. When the tour was finished, we stopped for an espresso and Albiona helped us plan the rest of our time in Tirana. I highly recommend this tour.

One of the best tour guides ever - The energy and professionalism of our tour guide was top class! We did it on our very first day in Tirana, and it helped us to navigate like locals for the whole trip. We appreciate all the tips and a full history of Tirana that helped us understand the country and feel closer to its people!

Awesome tour with Albiona !!! - We have booked a guided walking tour through Tirana. Our guide Albiona gave us a wonderful, private tour through her hometown. We have seen all the must see attractions but also some hidden places. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the people and the culture of Albania. Thanks again for this great and unforgettable experience and the help and assistance even afterwards of our tour.

Very Informative and Enjoyable - Recommended - We were the only two people on the tour and so had a personal tour with Albina who is a wonderful guide, very friendly, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her city and its history. She was very patient with my numerous questions and never failed to further explain further details behind my questions. She covered all areas of Albania's history, Tirana's different architecture and it's political history. We also enjoyed a friendly chat during a break in the Komiteti coffee shop which is part coffee shop and part museum. We thoroughly recommend this tour.

Walking tour with Albiona - We had a great time exploring Tirana with Albiona! She was super friendly, helpful, and engaging. There was never a dull moment as she gave us a summary of Albania's history and took us to interesting landmarks around the city. She felt more like an old friend that we came to visit rather a tour guide. Highly recommended if you're in Tirana.

Fantastic tour of Tirana - Albiona was a fantastic tour guide for our first time in Tirana. She was great at communicating before the tour and easy meet-up point to start the tour. We hit all the major sites in our ~3 hour tour. She catered it to our interest and schedule. Her knowledge of history and culture was fantastic and at just the right level for our first time in Albania. English was perfect. Lastly, she gave us great recommendations for food and things to do for the rest of our time in albania, which we have used and we’re great. Highly recommend her tour. Thank you Albiona
