5.00Taulant was incredibly knowledgeable and led us on an engaging and educational tour of the city. The olive oil and Raki tasting in the castle were delicious and we appreciated his personal insights on Albanian history recommendations for local places to see with the rest of our trip.
Interesting cultural insights

5.00Taulant was our guide and we spent a really interesting three hours with him. The booking and meeting instructions were very clear and he was careful to keep us in the shade when possible. We had a coffee together and he recommended some shops and restaurants. As we walked, he talked about the history of Albania and was clearly passionate about his job. We loved the vibrant market and the secret statues. Highly recommended.
