5.00Ervin took us to Durres and Golem Beach. Ervin was very informative and friendly. Very good trip. We enjoyed the Kings Villa urban exploring. I also had a swim in the sea while at Golem. We would book again if we ever return to Tirana.
Great time in Durres

5.00I advise 100% when we have little time in Tirana. It’s easy, well organized, short, you have free time... more convenient than doing it alone. The value for money is excellent. We start at 9am and finish around 4pm. We're not being dragged around tourist shops. Very convenient to get to know another city in Albania during a short stay.

5.00I recently joined a tour of Durrës with Ervin, and I cannot recommend the experience highly enough. If you are planning to visit this historic city, booking a tour with him is an absolute must. Ervin is an exceptional guide. His English is flawless, which made communication effortless and allowed him to share complex historical details clearly. It was evident from the start that he is incredibly well-prepared and passionate about his city; he provided deep insights into the Roman amphitheater and the local culture that we never would have discovered on our own. Beyond his knowledge, Ervin’s kindness and availability really stood out. He was attentive to all our needs and went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout the day. The tour is a wonderful way to see the beauty of the Adriatic coast, and while the history is fascinating regardless of the weather, it is truly spectacular when the sun is shining. Seeing the city ruins and the sea under a clear blue sky was the highlight of our trip. Do not hesitate to book with Ervin—you are in great hands!
