5.00We had an amazing day with Linda. She is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of Albanian historical information. She is passionate about her work and has a wonderful sense of humor. She helped us design a private tour for our group of 6, and we really enjoyed our day. We highly recommend booking a tour with South Albania Excursions.
