Great Tour and Guide - Arora was an amazing guide who brought so much enthusiasm and knowledge to the tour. Two hours in the center of Tirana was the right amount if time to get a feel for the city. I highly recommend this tour.

Eri was great - This was our first visit to Tirana so started our stay here with a walking tour to get to see the main attractions and learn about the city. We did the Sunday 1000 tour and there were many people doing the same - we were split into 4 groups by language and the English speaking was split in 2. We were lucky to have Eri as our guide and he was knowledgable, had a good way to do the commentary without overloading us with facts and also injected humour as well. The tour started outside the Opera House and finished a short walk from there. It took about 2hrs 15mins and was about 4kms. The walk took in the main tourist attractions in and around the main square and also we were given tips for other things to do and places to eat after the tour. Really enjoyed it and set up our 3 days in Tirana very well

Very nice! - Very knowledgeable and empathetic guide! He recounted Tirana, adding family memories... he immersed us in the communist period, managing to make us understand what a tough period it was.

A must do in Tirana! - Did this the first morning we were in Tirina. We booked online, but alot of people just turned up at 10am. Excellent to learn from a local where to go. Eri our english tour guy was execellent. He uses a small speaker so i could hear everything he said. Approx 2 hours. Answered all my questions. Defiently a good thing to do one your first day!

Great Tour - We found this tour both interesting and enjoyable. Quite a large group had gathered by the planned start time of 14:00, so were split into two groups - some had booked and pre-paid and others, like ourselves had opted to turn up on the day and pay at the end by donation. We found Bailey, our tour guide, an ex-teacher from the U.S.A extremely knowledgeable and informative. Bailey showed us the main sights and talked in an engaging and entertaining way, using stories to bring information to life alongside her own insight and a little of the local language thrown in for good measure. We were moved to hear about life under communist rule and tales of the resilience of Albanian people. Bailey was kind and generous with her time we found, happy to answer many questions, offering itinerary suggestions and ideas to those that asked and seemed genuinely happy to be with everyone, even staying behind a little at the end with those that clearly enjoyed her company (as we did). Would definitely recommend.

Great tour, worth doing! - This was definitely worth doing! Oriented me to the city. I think our guide (she was American, I am sorry I don't remember her name) did a really good job; a lot of interesting history but not overwhelming, and she made it somewhat interactive. My friend wasn't really that into history and her attention was kept the whole time. Especially because Tirana's city has so much interesting architecture, this tour was really great. Thank you!

Super recommended - Our guide, Eri, is a nice guy, enthusiastic and passionate about his work. He explained to us every detail of the places we visited on the tour, also providing us with not only historical but also cultural insights into the place. Super recommended! Ps. He speaks both Italian and English :)

Best thing in Tirana - Great tour, interesting and engaging with a lot covered in the time. There was not much walking as most of the sights of Tirana are close together
