“I went into the tour knowing nothing really about Albania, its history, or the city or Tirana. Albiona explained the history of Albania in detail and provided so much insight into each phase that I could not believe it. Albiona is so passionate about Albania and protecting its history and culture and she is a perfect spokesperson for tourism! We saw so much in the few hours and places I definitely would not have found or went to without Albionas knowledge. Such a great few hours. Thank you so much Albiona for your time and insights. I will definitely be recommending this to anyone that travels to Tirana.”
