Très bien 👍

This was a wonderful tour of Durres. Joana has an excellent knowledge of her city and took us to all of the amazing historic sites to see here. The history of this place is phenomenal and so interesting. Joana is great guide and speaks perfect English which makes the tour go with a great flow and she's always ready to answer any questions you may have. When in Durres this walking tour is a necessity and I'm so glad to have found her on Guruwalk. I was late by 10 minutes or so due to getting lost and communication was excellent and Joana and the other guest on the tour Inga from Belgium were both so understanding which I totally appreciated.

Joana was super👍🫶 And all our questions were answered.

I can't recommend Joana enough as a tour guide! From the moment we started our tour of Durrës, it was clear that Joana possesses an exceptional depth of knowledge about the city's history and its transformation over the centuries. Her storytelling ability brought the past to life, effortlessly weaving together fascinating details about ancient Roman ruins, Ottoman influences, and the modern evolution of Durrës. What truly set Joana apart, though, was her passion for the city. She didn't just recite facts; she gave us a profound understanding of the heart and soul of Durrës. Through her eyes, we could appreciate the layers of history that have shaped this beautiful coastal city, from its ancient port to the thriving modern community that calls it home. She shared personal anecdotes and local stories that connected us with the community on a much deeper level. We left the tour with a newfound admiration for Durrës, not only as a tourist destination but as a living, breathing city full of rich culture, resilient history, and warm, welcoming people. We are so grateful for Joana’s insight, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning to visit Durrës. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a long-time resident wanting to rediscover the area, Joana is the perfect guide to help you uncover the layers of this remarkable city!

Very interesting tour. Artan knows a lot about Durrës, not just from an urban planning perspective, but also as a resident whose family has ages old memories in the city. We really enjoyed our time with him.
