Irvin was a wonderful guide, he was very knowledgeable and informative. Providing the history and culture as well as customs and relating it to modern day living. He was very comfortable to be around and had a great sense of humour. He made sure the two of us in our group were comfortable and answered all of our questions. He also provided information on local places to see as as well as recommendations for dining and entertainment. You can feel his passion for his job and for the people he meets. Thank you, Irvin!

Irvin is lovable He spend three hours with us and we could continue as his personal perspective and knowledge was super inrersting and we learned a lot It was one of the best experiences we had jn Albania Thank you Irvin for your warm hospitality and for who you are

Nice guide, good tour.

Myself and my husband had a fantastic tour of Gjirokastër, with Irvin as our guide. We really learned so much from him. Not only that he's very knowledgeable, he's also engaging and funny. I also like how he gave us some flexibility in what we wanted to do and explore more during our tour, thus, we had an extended tour as a result! I really appreciate Irvis's passion to show us not just Gjirokastër, but also Albanian culture and history. It was invaluable to us as Gjirokastër was our first stop in Albania. Thank you Irvin!

We learned a lot with Eugene. Really enjoyed the tour, really recommend him.

The best free tour we did in Albania! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. He changed the tour based on what our group wanted to do. We went into the Cold War Tunnel (small fee), the Mosque (free) and Skenduli house (small fee) where he told us a lot and showed us everything. We would highly recommend this tour!!

Our tour with Irvin was fantastic. We were the only 2 participants of the tour and he made sure to cover the whole city and give us as much information as he could on Gjirokastër. We strongly recommend this tour and visiting Gjirokastër in general ☺️ Merci beaucoup Irvin !

Eugene was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the city and country. He made learning about the layout and history of Gjirokaster very enjoyable.

Irvin fue muy predispuesto. Incluso nos ofreció hacer su tour en español, cuando supo que éramos hispanoparlantes. Aceptamos y su desempeño fue muy bueno. Nos brindó información extra por mail. ¡100% recomendable!

Irvin gives a good walking tour of Gjirokaster. He explains the history and his city culture clearly, with the eye of a real local, so you really feel the spirit of the place. The tour takes two hours of steady walking. Everything is covered efficiently and directly. A solid and informative tour. Totally worth doing if you want to properly understand Gjirokaster from a real local.

We learned a lot about Albania and Gjirokastër in particular with Irwin. He was a great guide and did not rush us. We covered a lot of territory. His English was excellent and he had a pleasant demeanor. I highly recommend.

It was a dreary rainy day, and Eugene made the most of it for us, including extra stops at historic houses and tons of honest stories about growing up in Albania. Highly recommend!

Great guide and tour!

Irvin was a brilliant guide, so knowledgeable and funny. Definitely worth the tour!

Irvin was brilliant! It was a great great guided tour of Gjirokaster, Albania!

Highly recommend this tour. Irvin was very informative, charismatic and funny. Good route through the town and good length of time. Irvin was very happy to answer questions and chat about the town.

I use GuruWalk regularly when I travel and Irvin was one of the best guides. He is very knowledgeable, makes sure that the route is manageable in this "city of thousand steps" and loves his hometown, which shows through his stories. We were fortunate to be in a small group and interact with him on topics related Albanian history and life in Gjirokaster. I would definitely recommend this tour and thankful to Irvin for making this such a memorable stop.

Big thanks to Eugene! It was such an interesting and fun Tour. As he is a real local and experienced a lot of history in the last 30 years himself, he could explain so many information about the history and the country. Perfect Tour Guide! I can recommend this tour to anyone coming to this city to learn more about its beauty and its history. He showed me hidden gems and cool picture spots as well or recommended his favorite local food. The City is quite hilly but we made enough stops to take a breath so it’s suitable for all Fitness Levels :) you made my day Eugene, all the best for you!

Love the walk!

Although Klarens couldn’t be our guide, his brother filled in for him and he was excellent. He didn’t just rattle off names and dates, but had such a wealth of “local insider” stories and other tidbits. We found him to be very engaging when we asked about the history of Albania. Highly recommend this tour.

The best ever guide and friend you can get to learn about gjirokaster and also the albanian culture. Erwin is now our friend. He was really kind and explained us everything in a very fun filled yet informative way. We ate "OSHAF" the best Dessert of Gjirokaster and talked about various topics and walked for hours yet didn't feel tired. 100/10!! PLEASE go on this walk you will LOVE IT !!

Excellent trip of Girokastra.

Really recommend booking this tour with Eugene. Interesting stops, cool and relaxed experience.

I highly recommend doing this tour in Gjirokastër, we had a wonderful time! Irvin was extremely knowledgeable and funny and was happy to answer all of our questions. Even though we were the only two on the tour, Irvin didn’t rush us or skip past any of the stops and even spent time after the tour was supposed to end to continue showing us around and giving us tips - everything from traditional foods to try to places to visit when exploring the rest of Albania. Thanks again Irvin!!
