A city to visit, a past not to be forgotten - It is a visit worth making to learn about the past and dwell on the historical places of a city projected to the future. The guide provided us with many interesting details and was available to satisfy our curiosity and answer our questions. We chose to do this walking tour on the Monday after Easter, so the House of Leaves was closed as scheduled, but the guide strongly advised us to visit it, so we recovered on Tuesday and in fact it was a great impact experience. The visit concludes with lunch in a place that offers a wide choice of Albanian dishes and it was really nice to have lunch and spend half a day with a local and talk about the country we were visiting. I highly recommend this tour if you spend at least one night in Tirana!
