Great experience of walking in Tirana - Taulant 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.
