Born in Tirana. With thirty years of experience in tourism and an Msc in Geography-History, I have a vast knowledge of my hometown and its stories. I believe I have what it takes to make your experience in Tirana as enjoyable as possible.
This tour was super informative and covered many interesting places. Kholi is very profesional and also shares personal small anecdots from the time when Tirana was a very different city which makes the tour even more interesting. I learnt a lot and had a great time.
I was the loan participant on this tour, but we went ahead & Koli took me round central Tirana sites for 3.5 hours. He shared historical, cultural, geographical & personal information/stories. This was a fantastic introduction to Albania for me & I am so glad I booked this tour. Thank you!
We spent an enlightening early evening with Koli on an amazing tour that took us both across the city and across time. He has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the city, it's architecture, it's politics, and it's urban planning, but also about his own lived experience as an Albanian and Tirana native. He was happy to answer our endless questions and also has a great sense of humor, so the time flew by as we walked all over the city. We have done walking tours in several cities around the world, but this is the one that had the most detail in its content. If you want a deeper understanding of the city and its history, Koli is sure to help you get it.
Koli was an excellent guide, full of pertinent information and interesting facts and stories. We were very lucky to have him to ourselves. We had an amazing tour despite the torrential rain and the physical impediment of blocked streets.
