Free walking tours in Kreis Gjirokastra

Irvin was an awesome tour guide. He gave us a typical local tour, with lots of useful tips, historical stories; all with a great sense of humour. Thank you

Irvin is one of the best guides we’ve had and we've taken over 10+ walking tours around Europe! He had a perfect balance of facts, humor and energy. It was just my partner and I on the walking tour as well. Known as the Silver City Walking Tour, we got to see the Gjirokastra Bazaar, Bazar Mosque, Muzeu Etnografik, Castle of Gjirokastra, Shen Sotirit / Saint Sotiri and the Skenduli House. He also gave us lots of great recommendations afterwards. Overall would recommend this tour with Irvin!

Passionate and knowledgeable about his city. He was entertaining and humorous sharing historical, religious and current information about Albania in a storytelling manner. We were fortunate to experience local delights (raki and sweets) as part of this tour and visit shops in the bazaar area to learn more about Albanian culture. Thank you Irvin for an excellent tour.

We really enjoyed this tour in Gjirokastër! You can tell Irvin’s passion for meeting tourists and about the city. He took us to several spots “off the beaten path” and we even tried gliko! I would really recommend this tour to any tourist visiting Gjirokastër. One thing I will say is that we had some confusion with the meeting point. Irvin told us to meeting him outside the Hotel Argjiro and there are in fact two in Gjirokastër. We went to the first one and then realised we were in the wrong spot. To find Irvin, go to the Hotel Argjiro in the square mentioned as the tour’s starting point or follow the live map that he will share with you on the morning of the tour.

Eugene gave us an idea of Girokaster's life and important houses and people. He took us to interesting view points

Very nice and very informative. Beautiful views. Very kind and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend:))

Irvin has so many insights to the city so the tour was awesome, with lots of funny stories and interesting facts.

Wir hatten eine fantastische Tour mit unserem Guide Eugene in Gjirokaster! Er war sehr gut drauf, lustig und hat viel Spannendes erzählt und gezeigt, was man sonst so nie erfahren hätte! Die Tour war sehr gemütlich, da es sehr warm war. Wir hatten viele Möglichkeiten Stopps zu machen und etwas zu trinken. Eugene hat uns auch immer die besten Spots für Fotos gezeigt! Insgesamt waren wir super begeistert und würden jedem eine Tour mit Eugene empfehlen, der die Stadt besucht!

Very nice experience

Sehr netter Guide mit Insidertipps der besten Spot in der Stadt zum Essen, Shoppen oder Verweilen. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Nos gustó mucho. Sabía la historia de la ciudad y los lugares que enseñar. Se hizo muy ameno, disfrutamos y aprendimos mucho. Lo recomiendo por completo.

Ani was a wonderful guide around Gjirokaster, with tales of the city and the Albanian people. He was a very kind individual with an answer for all our questions. Highly recommended!

Ani is very knowledgable about Girokastra, we were so glad we joined his tour. The castle and the Skenduli house were well worth the entry cost to see a little more history of the region. Ani answered all our questions and also gave us recommendations for where to eat.

Funny, informative and welcoming! Fantastic tour for us, thanks a lot!

Our walking tour in Gjirokaster with Eugene was excellent. Eugene was very knowledgeable, he answered all our questions and explained things well.

Irving knows a lot of gjirokaster and he is very funny. I liked so much this tour.

L’Irvin va ser el millor guia: vaig aprendre molt sobre la cultura i em vaig enamorar completament d’aquesta ciutat. Es va assegurar que veiéssim i visquéssim al màxim tot el que es podia, sempre amb molt d’humor i una actitud molt acollidora. Gràcies a ell, cada moment va ser divertit, instructiu i inoblidable.

Irvin è un ragazzo giovane, simpatico e molto preparato sulla storia e le tradizioni del suo paese. Ci ha accompagnato in un tour che ci ha permesso non solo di visitare Argirocastro, ma anche di conoscere e comprendere un po' di piú della vita in Albania. Le sue spiegazioni sono state interessanti, mai banali, arricchite da osservazioni ironiche che hanno reso ancora piú piacevole l'esperienza. Irvin ha studiato molto per fare questo lavoro, ci ha trasmesso un po' della sua passione.

We’ve got al lot of information from Ani, it was an interesting tour. Thanks a lot

Irvin nos mostró la ciudad y nos contó su historia con pasión, desde su corazón. Conoce las historias de todos los rincones de la ciudad.

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

Irvin is great! Very informative and a great storyteller! Highly recommend!

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.
