1.00Guide failed to show or cancel. Got full refund, but was waste of valuable time. Emailed after that daughter was hospitalized. I guess the dig ate his homework often.
The best family walking tour!

5.00I really enjoyed this intro to Tirana. Often you don't go inside places on walking tours, but we entered churches, mosques, and went to the top of the Pyramid. We were given excellent recommendations for food, bars, nightlife and museums we should go. I highly recommend taking this tour!
