Very informative 2 hour to know better Tirana and Culture of Albania - We had a great 2-hour walking tour in Tirana with Brikena! It felt more like exploring the city with a friend than a formal tour. We learned a lot, and the way she shared information was engaging—not dry or boring at all. Highly recommended! As well company is very helpful and didn't have problems that we were only 2 people P.s don't forget to take water as Tirana is very hot

Great walking tour! I highly recommend. 5 stars - Our guide Markel was very thorough in his explanation of Albanian history. We loved his easy going nature and ability to speak English very well. It was a very hot day so the pace was comfortable. We stopped at all the major sites and he explained in detail about its history and how it pertains to Albanian life today. He added personal stories that his family experienced during the ‘repressed’ era of Albanian history. I would recommend this tour with any of the tour guides in the Choose Balkans office. They were helpful even after the tour ended giving us recommendations for 2 restaurants that were fantastic! Also, the tour group was small so we could ask questions easily. Book it!

First time in Tirana, this tour is a must - Markel our guide, was waiting for us at our meeting place and told us where we would be going on the tour. He took us on a journey rich in history and excellent information about Tirana and the country. He is a very knowledgeable guide with excellent English. We didn't feel rushed at all and Markel was happy to take questions along the way. It was a very well planned route and gave us ideas about where to go back to and also Markel gave us some good tips of where to go and explore some more. A very professional guide and the company confirmed the tour the day before. I would thoroughly recommend the tour to anyone who has not visited Tirana before.
