Free walking tours in Kreis Gjirokastra

Irvin was so informative that he went out of his way to answer all of our questions. He even offered to stayed longer to take us thru the castle. He walked us back to where we started continuing to tell us more info.

A fascinating and informative tour - we really enjoyed it and leant a lot. Thanks Irvin!

Irvin was an outstanding guide. He was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and professional. We felt like we saw everything the town had to offer in this one very thorough tour. We were the only 2 on the tour and were super grateful that Irvin didn't cancel the tour (which we have had happen with other guides). Great tour. Highly recommend!

Fantastic tour. Irvin knows his history and culture. I learned a ton. I highly recommend booking with him. He speaks multiple languages as well. Thank you

Thank you so much to Irvin for giving us one of the most incredible tours ever! He told us so much history and fun facts about Gjirokaster and Albania! Gave incredible recommendations and managed to show us the entire city! Even a stop in a traditional Albanian house explaining to us the history! Thank you so much Irvin we will forever remember this!!!

I had a tour with Irvin recently and it was simply fantastic! The tour was thorough and we saw so much of Gjirokastër, a lot more than I have seen on other tours. Irvin was knowledgeable and passionate about the city and the history of Albania, and I found him to be a very nice person as well. Highly recommended

Hemos hecho el tour solos los dos con él y en inglés. Lo explica todo a la perfección y cuenta detalles muy curiosos de la historia de la ciudad y los distintos lugares que no conocerías si no hicieras un tour con una persona local. Muy recomendado

This was an amazing tour! The guide was easy to understand, very thorough, answered every question completely. This was one of the best Guru tours that we have taken.

Todo y ser un día lluvioso, con el tour vimos lo imprescindible de Gjirocaster de una manera sencilla y agradable.

Very good walking tour. Thank you

Irwin was entertaining, professional and knowledgeable… he was so welcoming and patient and inclusive

Irvin was a great guide. It was very easy to communicate with him before the tour by WhatsApp. Even though we had done the reservation for an English tour, when we were going to start he saw we all spoke Spanish, hence he did the effort of doing the tour in Spanish. He took us to great places in Gjirokastër and explained us many interesting things. At the end of the tour, he sent us a list of things to do and see in Albania. Thanks Irvin!

highly recommended! I cant imagine having a better guide than Irvin, the walk was fun and meaningful. He knows alot about history of Albania, he is local and has a vibe that makes u feel like a local and like a friend of his as the end! we connected with him as well as Girokastra alot! Irvin thanks again for your time :)

Someone who likes very much to show his city without rushing. Communicative, meeting various people in the city along the way.

We had a wonderful tour with Irvin, a knowledgeable and exceptionally witty guide. Having arrived quite late during the day at Gjirokastra, we looked for a tour to get some input on the history, architectural facts and culture aside from the stunning visual of the city. We were only two people which was a privilege! The castle was closed unfortunately, but Irvin made sure to guide us through the most beautiful spots and explained everything with such charm! The tour ended with a some Oshaf in a cozy cafe. It was a great pleasure and I highly recommend to book the tour with him.

We had a great tour through Gjirokastër with Irvin. He is such a nice and funny guy and shows us the city from a very exciting side. We had great discussions about a lot of things. We would really recommend a tour with him. He taked a lot of time and cared four us. After the tour we drank an excellent coffee together. Thanks for all :-)

We had a great tour with Irvin! He lead us to the hotspots but also to more hidden spots, was funny and provided lots of interesting information. Definitely would recommend!

It was a great tour with Irvin, he had no problem with giving a tour just for the 2 of us, which only enriched this experience, as we had a private guided tour around Gjirokaster. Irvin showed us all of the historic center of the city, explained a lot about the heritage, local identity, the culture of Albania and its people 🇦🇱 he is very friendly, easy-going, funny with his jokes and has a great knowledge that he is eager to share 🥰 we asked many questions and he always answered in a broad and interesting way. At the end of the tour he shared a written summary that he prepared himself, that also included wider explanation and some tips on where to eat and what to see in Albania ☺️ I recommend higly this experience to everyone!!!

Irvin was an absolutely fantastic guide for my walking tour in Gjirokastër. I ended up being the only one on the tour, and he went above and beyond to tailor the experience to my interests, which made it feel really personal and special. His knowledge of the city’s history and culture was impressive, but what made it truly memorable was his great sense of humor and easy banter — it felt more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than being on a formal tour. I had such an amazing time wandering through the old streets, learning stories I never would have discovered on my own, and getting local insights along the way. Thank you, Irvin, for such a wonderful experience — and my apologies for the delayed review. If you’re visiting Gjirokastër, I highly recommend booking a tour with him!

We were very happy with Klarens' brother. He knew a lot and could communicate in perfect English.

Irvin fue un excelente guía, es un pozo de conocimiento y lo transmite con pasión y un toque de humor.

Irvin was very passionate, knowledgeable and very engaging with his audience throughout the session. He went above and beyond to ensure his message was recieved by all his audience by ensuring he used his language skills to translate information in their native language. He ensured he used jokes and personable examples from individuals backgrounds to engage with all us in the area of discussion in his tour. He's clearly extremely knowledgeable in topics around Albanian and wider world history. Probably one of the best tours I've been in. Wish I could give him more than 5 ⭐

Irvin was a fantastic guide! After his tour, I now have a much deeper understanding of Albanias past and present, the people, language and culture. The tour was very detailed and Irvin took me to some cool places that I might have not come across myself. He was always considerate, gave me as much time as I needed and suggested plenty other things to do during my time in Albania. Thank you, Irvin!

Your tour of Gjirokastër was fantastic—both engaging and highly informative. Our guide, Irwin, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared great insights along with personal experiences that brought the city’s history to life. He guided us through the entire city, making every stop interesting and meaningful, and the tour concluded beautifully at Gjirokastër Castle. The personalized local dessert tasting at the end was a wonderful touch and a perfect way to wrap up the experience. Thank you for the amazing hospitality—it made the visit truly memorable! 🍰🏰✨

Tuvimos muchísima suerte porque estábamos sólo dos personas e Irvin hizo el tour en español para nosotras. A pesar de lo que diga, su dominio del idioma es muy bueno. Fue una maravillosa inmersión en la cultura y costumbres del país y la ciudad. No os lo perdáis.
