Excellent walking tour! Our guide was so knowledgable. - Bieren (? spelling) was excellent. Besides being a great guy, he has an obvious passion for the history of what we were seeing, and could expound off of any question we asked. Quite enjoyable.

A must in Gjirokaster - The guide was very knowledgable. We had a lot of questions as 2 couples from different backgrounds(Australian and German). We especially lined the peaceful Zekate house and are still a little sorry, that we did not haf the opportunitiy to try the homemade Rakei

Basically just a castle tour - We had to pay the entree fee on 3 different occasions, saw very little of the city. The guide was very knowledgable though.
