Free walking tours in Kreis Gjirokastra

Irvin was born and raised in Gjirokaster and knows all the details. He will walk you trough the city and tell interesting stories

The tour with Eugene was the highlight of our stay in Gjirokastër. It was insightful, entertaining and definitely worthwhile. He took us to places we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Can hghly recommend, especially the evening tour to get the golden hour light.

I had the pleasure of exploring Gjirokaster with Irvin, and it was a memorable experience. I wasn’t feeling great but Irvin was really thoughtful. He walked me to my hostel before the tour to make sure I was comfortable. Even though I wasn’t 100%, he still came back later and we did the tour. Irvin’s knowledge of the city is impressive ,he brings history to life with his stories. He’s relaxed and genuine .If you’re in Gjirokaster, definitely spend time with him! Grazie amico!

Irvin was a perfect guide,very friendly,attentive and above all a local who had a story for every street. My only recommendation for a tour in Gjirokastra.

Thank you! It was amazing! The route, the place you show, the stories you told! Just perfect and recommend it to everyone

I had a great experience on the free walking tour in Gjirokastër. Irvine was incredibly informative, sharing a wealth of historical facts while keeping things fun and engaging. What really stood out were the personal stories and local anecdotes that brought the city's history to life. The guide was warm, personable, and clearly passionate about the town. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Gjirokastër—it's a great way to understand the city's unique charm and rich past.

Irvin was a great guide! I really loved the 6 pm timeslot, as it was very hot during the day. He gave a lot of great information and was patient, answering all the questions we had. He also had good local recommendations, having grown up in Gjirokaster!

Very kind and a good knowledge

Strongly recommend. A lot of useful information about city but also about culture. He shared also very useful list of places to see in Albania and recommend restaurants in Grijokaster!

Excellent tour. I've learned a lot. Eugene was knowledgeable and funny. We were bombarding him with questions and he patiently answered all of them. I highly suggest to do this tour before you discover Gjirokaster yourself.

A great tour, with the guide showing and narrating us all the major attractions of the city.

Made me fall in love with Gjirokaster

Very educational and pleasant. I recommend!

Irvin gave us a fantastic tour! Informative, attentive, full of humor and good vibe. We learned about Gjirokastra that we would probably not know about otherwise. I highly recommend the tour.

Great tour, amazing guide

Even my children liked the stories that he said . After every story there were breathtaking sights . This wasn't just a tour it was a memory , an unforgettable memory . The best tour ever . I recommend it 100% .

Irvin fesselte durch Geschichten die weit über eine Stadtführung hinaus gingen. Indem er zB von den Schwur Jungfrauen erzählte. Oder von den Haar Vorschriften im Kommunismus sprach. Er schilderte wie Hoxha seine Paranoia im Bunkerbau auslebte. Mit Irvin habe ich erstmals eine Moschee besucht. - Ich war begeistert als er uns das Skënduli Haus erklärte und deren Besitzerin sich auch noch Zeit für unsere Fragen genommen hatte. - Und er die Story der „hängenden Teddybären“ auflöste.
