Hello, my name is John, and I am a nationally certified tour guide.
Born and raised in Tirana, I see this city not just as a place of monuments and streets, but as a living conversation between the past and the present. Every story I share carries a question — about who we were, who we are now, and how history still shapes our everyday lives, often without us noticing.
I love to explore how a simple street name, an old building, or a local dish can reveal the spirit of an entire generation. For me, guiding is not only about showing what’s visible, but also about uncovering what time has tried to hide.
So let’s walk through Tirana together — not just to see it, but to understand it. 🌿
One of the best GuruWalks I've been on. Xhon is both a local and well traveled. He explains things from the perspective of someone who lived through it. While sometimes guides are great if they are foreigners and tell you the best of the city, on this tour you'll learn it all. You explore all the main sites and go at your own pace. Even sites not on the route can potentially be included. I learned a lot and have a new respect for the city and its people
Un grand merci à Xhon pour cette très belle expérience 🥰 c’était passionnant Xhon est une très belle personne. Je recommande vivement
Xhon connaît parfaitement l'histoire de son pays et il parle très bien le français. Il nous a permis de mieux comprendre la culture albanaise. Merci beaucoup pour ce moment de partage
C'était largement au dessus de ce que je pouvais attendre, quelle merveilleuse journée, merci infiniment 🙏☺️
John ha saputo spiegare la storia del suo paese in un modo impeccabile. Si vede che lui ama la sua città, la senti quando ne parla, i suoi racconti sono realisti e fanno riflettere sul passato, presente e futuro. Il suo italiano è impeccabile, conosce bene anche la storia italiana e sua musica.
