5.00This was a great end to yet another beautiful day spent in Tiranë 🌞 Izet, the tour guide, is a real joy to spend time with. He has a gentle unassuming manner, is professional and considerate and was very knowledgeable about Albanian history, the castle and the surrounding geology of the area. With a good balance of humour throughout, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The time flew by and then of course so did I, on the Zip-Wire! Wow! 🤩 🤣🤟🏼

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience with Izet Loloci in the mountains around Tirana. He guided me through the area and shared fascinating stories that made the trip both educational and entertaining. Later, he took me to try the zip line, and even though I usually struggle with a fear of heights, he supported me the whole way and gave me the confidence to enjoy the experience. Izet is professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive. I can highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable adventure in the nature around Tirana

5.00It was fantastic! He picked me up in a Range Rover and was a true gentleman. His insight into history and culture were unmatched. The zipline was absolutely a rush and that team was great. The castle was outstanding and a perfect afternoon tour.

5.00Exciting Zip line experience in Albania, which the entire family enjoyed a lot. Our guide Izet was amazing - charming, polite, and extremely friendly. Would have loved to go on other excursions with him if I had more time.

5.00This is my first solo trip and I had a nice time because of the tour guide Izet. It felt more like a family outing than a tour which was really nice. Izet the tour guide is so insightful and passionate and it is so obvious that he doesn’t do the job for money but because he loves it. I would recommend Izet to anyone cause he’s the best and he knows a lot about his country. He also took me to the places with nice veiws and helped me take lovely pictures. I really enjoyed my trip all thanks to Izet
