Great walking tour and introduction to Tirana! Our guide spent 4 hours not only showing us around the city but also giving us a brief history of Albania, highlighting what it was like during the years of Communist rule and how the city is now emerging. It was an insightful education for our small group of three.

It was such a good tour and our guide was perfect. If you have this tour i can definitely say that enough for Tiran and better than experience the city alone. You can see all the tiran in 2-3 hours.If you can choose your guide choose Ilir Gramo you will not be regret.!!

Worthwhile city tour with an attentive guide

The tour was very informative and perfect for a first impression of the city. Sokol was an attentive and polite guide who knew an awful lot and could also convey the love for his city / country to us! The graduation in the museum was maybe a bit long (Sokol is a very enthusiastic historian). The group's interest might have been queried beforehand. The section of recent history is represented very impressively. That moved us so much that even after that we were still in the bunker and in the house of leaves. Thank you, Sokol! We would love to come back!
