5.00Wow. This was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. My boyfriend and I booked this tour for his birthday and llir and Iris went over and beyond to make it feel special for us. They picked us up promptly from our hotel even though it was outskirts of Tirana, then first took us on a coffee date to start the day and get to know one another, then a brief history about Tirana and Albania, before proceeding on a walking tour of Tirana city center, showing us the interesting sites. In afternoon we drove down to Kruje (llir was kind enough to accommodate our request to see Kruja castle), they showed us round the castle, Bazaar, and then we drove down to Durres where we explored the seaside and the amphitheater. Llir and Iris took such good care of us, tirelessly taking lovely photos of us. It was such a beautiful time experiencing Albania with them and we ll definitely be back to see more. I 100% recommend this tour company. Thank you so so so much llir and Iris!

5.00It was a fantastic experience more like a day with good friend I spend 10 hours with Aron visiting Tirana, durres and other places but most important for me was that Aron knows very well history and modern life in terms of politics, economy, sport, etc. Aron was very flexible to day tour program, we even have visited winery that was not in our plan, and generally such type of individual approach was excellent So if you want to visit and understand Albania and Tirana, just contact Aron!
