Informative and enthusiastic tour guide

5.00Our original booking was for a walking tour including the stadium but when this became unavailable due to the stadium itself Albanian odyssey communicated well with alternative options. We’re very glad we took the alternative, our tour guide Daniel was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic in telling us all about the history of Albania. Our trip included the clock tower and bunk d’art and Daniel answered all the questions we had for him which were extremely varied. Thank you for a lovely trip
