Makbule was very good - I took part in a Free Tour of Tirana with the guide Makbule, who turned out to be really prepared and passionate. In two and a half hours we had a pleasant tour of the city, during which he told us the history of Albania and showed us the most interesting places, all within walking distance of each other. It was an interesting, light and enjoyable tour. In the end, in two, we decided to give her €20, a reward more than deserved.

Must-Do Introduction to Tirana - It was great! We met up at the Opera stairs where we were split up into groups. Our guide Aurora (sorry if i messed up the name) was awesome and really funny. We had actually booked a different tour and then we decided the day before for this one. Totally the right decision. We really liked Aurora's approach to us as a group. She made the history talk quite interesting. Though I recommend this tour for the first day you arrive, we messed up there, but still enjoyed it. We got to all the main attractions and when we ended she gave us a list of recommendations. The atmosphere was very friendly. It is a free tour, but the organisation runs on our (tourist's) donations. I believe it's worth it and the amount of money you give is up to you, every penny counts.

Excellent walking tour - My wife and I have been on mny walking tours in numerous countries and thoroughly enjoyed this tour
Our guide was a young guy Khedra and he was knowledgeable ,friendly and funny
He said his parents were historians and they certainly passed on their talent to him as he could answer every question and explain the history and culture of both Tirana and Albania in a really interesting way

Tirana - Tirana is a photogenic city with many interesting building to photograph. The centre, Skanderbeg Square is enormous and a good starting point. From here you get a great view of the surrounding buildings. You can visit the small mosque Et'hem Bey on the edge of the square and admire the huge equestrian statue in the square and nearby is the old Clock Tower. From here you can walk to the Pyramid Building and climb the many steps to the top to get a city view. Also a visit to the Bunk Art 2, an underground bunker now dedicated to the history of Enva Hoxha's communist rule of Albania, is for those who like to read up on history. Its very interesting, in English and well laid out but you need a few hours to do it justice. The old castle area is full of shops and cafes and only the 20ft Ottoman gates remain at the entrance. There are no public toilets in Albania, you use cafes or toilets at sites you visit. Cafes are good value. Could spend a whole day wandering round.
