Excellent Walking Tour - My guide’s depth and range of knowledge was terrific. The conversation we had was truly enjoyable as well as educational. I learned so much about Tirana and Albania’s history and current circumstances.

Top notch experience walking around Tirana - We had the best time with Brikena! The walking tour felt very personalized and customized based on what we were interested in. She took us to a local coffee shop and later toured what felt like the whole city of Tirana and we got the full flavor of the eclectic, complicated and still very recent history of Tirana and Albania. We were a inquisitive bunch and probably overwhelmed her with questions but she still managed to answer anything and everything. She mixed factual history with personal stories to make the experience rich and engaging, making unique pit stops along the way. I really enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend Brikena as a tour guide again and again! 5 FULL stars from me!
