Full description

Immerse yourself in the history of Durres and Kruja on this guided tour with hotel pickup and drop-off in Tirana. Savor local flavors with the included restaurant lunch and enjoy a coffee break along the way. 

Start your journey with pickup from your accommodation in Tirana. Relax on the drive to the city of Kruja onboard a climate-controlled van or car. Set off on a guided tour of the Dollma Bektashi Tekke castle and explore the surroundings and the castle itself and the Skanderbeg Museum.

Have free time to wander around the Old Bazaar, with beautiful cobblestone alleys, and to soak up views of the lovely old architecture. Head for lunch in a local restaurant, with a stunning view of the city and the valley of Kruja.

Travel to Durrës for a last “digestive” stop. Follow your guide on a tour of the City Walls, the Byzantine Forum, the Roman Thermal Baths, the Venetian Tower, and the Amphitheater. Enjoy the city’s street art around the ancient ruins. Return to your hotel in Tirana in the late afternoon.

It was a great tour. Xhino arrived at the planned time and ended up taking me on a private tour as there was no one else booked. He was full of knowledge and passion for Albania. He was polite and made me feel welcome. One of the best tours I have done.

Mimoza was great guide, tour started on time in the morning, whole day was chilled out & informative. Got to Kruja swiftly despite traffic in Tirana, visited the bazaar, took some scenic pictures, guide inside Kruja castle was very knowledgeable and castle Museum is well laid out, friendly staff and easy to navigate. Lunch at Meison Bistro was fresh & tasty. Cheers!!
