5.00What an absolutely amazing experience. This is a brilliant tour for anyone visiting Tirana for the first time and looking for an introduction to this beautiful and fascinating gem of a city. I can't recommend this tour or Albanian Odyssey highly enough. You'll start on the breathtaking Skanderbeg Square and be taken around the key sights of this compact capital city. Albanian Odyssey are one of those outstanding local businesses that visitors should be looking to support, as well as drawing on the wealth of experience provided by their guides. Many thanks for sucyh a wonderful time.

5.00My boyfriend and I went on an express tour in Tirana. Our guide was not only very knowledgeable but also exceptionally nice and friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our tour. The weather was fantastic, which only added to the pleasure of exploring the city. Among the highlights, the visit to the Pyramid stood out the most for us. It was a fascinating experience that left us both in awe of its historical significance and modern transformation. Albanian Odyssey ensured our trip was comfortable, educational, and fun. The attention to detail and the personalized approach made our tour truly special. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to explore Tirana and Albania.

5.00Went to Tirana for a weekend with my friends from Germany and chose this 2.5 hour walking tour with a professional guide to introduce my hometown to my international friends. The guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was perfectly designed to cover the best landmarks and hotspots in the city. Booking process was easy and everything went as planned. My friends loved Rakia but I can say that my dad has better rakia at home 🤗💁🏻♀️
Outstanding Tirana tour with the best guide!
