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!!
