Free walking tours in Kreis Gjirokastra

We had a fantastic time on this walking tour of Gjirokaster. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the town, and thanks to Eugene's explanations, the town came to life for us. Eugene was a great guide. We recommend this tour 100% to anyone visiting Gjirokaster 😊

The free walking tour that we did with Irvin was quite possibly the best walking tour we've ever done, free or not. We got a wealth of information about the history of Gjirokaster and Albania, as well as what life is like today. The tour was a great mix of history and culture. We even were unexpectedly treated to some traditional iso-polyphonic singing, which we agreed might have been the highlight of our three weeks in the region. We would absolutely take this tour again, if we return to Gjirokaster!

Excellent tour, lots of interesting information, a good route and started and finished on time.

We only spent one day in Gjirokaster, so we wanted an efficient way to see the city and learn about important places. Eugene’s tour was exactly what we needed. Everything was close and easy to walk to. Eugene was friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you, Eugene.

A really nice tour around the city, where we got to see places we would never have found on our own. The guide was easy to understand and did a great job of explaining everything, adding small funny stories along the way that made the experience even more enjoyable.

Funny, engaging and really informative. Irvin was an amazing tour guide that intertwined the local stories with really interesting facts. Really an amazing experience👏

12/10, increíble experiencia! Hicimos el walking tour con Cledi en Gjirokastra y fue uno de los mejores tours de nuestro viaje. Cledi es muy amable, apasionado y conoce a fondo la historia, la cultura y las tradiciones de la ciudad. Explicó todo de forma entretenida y respondió a todas nuestras preguntas. Gracias a él descubrimos rincones y detalles que jamás habríamos encontrado por nuestra cuenta. Recomiendo este tour al 100% a cualquiera que visite Gjirokastra. ¡Una experiencia inolvidable!

Irvin is one of the best guides I have met on a walking tour. His knowledge, enthusiasm, passion, joy and education were superb. I really got to know and understand Gjirokaster! Don’t miss this opportunity!!

Enjoyed the tour! Thanks!

Eugene is very knowledgeable guide. The tour showed a lot about Albanian history. He is also very fun. We had a great time. We would definitely recommend this tour when you are coming to Gjirokastër.

I had a really great time in Eugene's tour. He took us to hidden gems in the city, Told us a lot of interesting facts about Albenia and Gjirokaster. He was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Danke für diese tolle Tour Irvin! Wir waren nur zu zweit und er hat uns trotzdem durch die Stadt geführt! Wir waren absolut begeistert von den vielen Informationen, spannenden Orten und vor allem von der entspannten Atmosphäre. Am Ende gab es noch einen Guide mit allen wichtigen Dingen zusammengefasst. Absolute Empfehlung!

Irvin was a fantastic guide! He had a deep knowledge and love of his home town and could easily traverse ancient and 20th cenury history , weaving the threads and providing a context to understand the complex and extraordinary history and culture of Gjirokaster and Albania . All with good humour, patience and an exceptional story telling manner to keep the group engaged. Thoroughly recommend.

Tolle Tour, viele Infos, sehr kurzweilig und unterhaltsam

Eugene is very knowledgeable on all aspects of the tour and we really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent walk away from the crowds. Very knowledgeable local man.

I 've been in many countries across Europe with different experiences, but Irvin has something rare, he doesn't recite history,he lives it. The way he speaks about the city makes you notice details you would normally walk past without a second thought. Intelligent , naturally funny and deeply local. He is the kind of guide people remember long after the trip ends.

Highly recommend this walking tour; eventhough it wasn't our first in Albania, we actually got more interesting insights into history, culture, traditions than we did in Tirana, without feeling overloaded with facts. Plus a bunch of local vignettes that only someone who truly knows the city could share. The pace was perfect, and Eugene answered everyone's questions patiently.

Tour muy entretenido. Eugene fue muy simpático y agradable. Buen inglés. Totalmente recomendable.

Irvin gave us a great walking tour of his home town. He communication is clear and the walking route is extensive - in a good way! Excellent tour!

One of the best experiences I had . Irvin doesn’t just explain the history , he gives a beautiful local perspective on everything, from traditions and daily life to the hidden stories of the city. It made the tour feel authentic, personal, and unforgettable. Highly recommended if you want to truly feel the spirit of Gjirokastër.

Easy walking pace on a humid day. Spoke at a friendly and kind pace. We were able to stop for water and washroom. Excellent meet up spot and great text communication
