5.00Good day tour to see Krujë castle and Mountain View’s. Paola the tour guide was v friendly and knowledgeable. Skanderbeg Greg museum is interesting. Tip: much colder in mountains than Tirana so take a jacket/sweater! The bazaar is full of touristy stuff - many items at 1000 leks or 10 euros - which was a better exchange rate than at the airport by miles!
