Free walking tours in Kreis Gjirokastra

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

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.

It was so great to meet Irvin and have him lead us around his city. We got a real picture of the city, its history, people, and culture. He was also really helpful in answering questions and providing recommendations etc. If your in Gjirokaster, book with him!

Irvin was a lovely guide, we came on a very cold day and were the only couple on the tour, nevertheless Irvin still gave us the full experience. We walked all across the old city with non stop interesting and knowledgeable commentary from Irvin. He answered all our questions and gave us great recommendations to continue our journey of discovering gjirokaster and the serounding area. Thank you Irvin. Definitely recommend.

Our guide was so knowledgeable and extremely friendly. He answered all our questions and showed us everything and in a very nice mood even though it was raining. Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼

Klarens was unable to meet us with another guide due to a schedule conflict, but he arranged for us to meet Irv and our tour was wonderful! We learned much about the old bazaar, the castle, and general history of Gjirokaster. 10/10 would recommend.

Magnífico tour. Además los dos únicos porque la época no ha sido de mucho turismo. Pero Irvin ha hecho un tour amplisimo y con gran cantidad de información. Además en español, pues aunque pone inglés, ha hecho el esfuerzo dado que está aprendiendo y ya lo domina muy bien

El tour fue muy interante, Irvin nos dio un recorrido de la historia de esta ciudad y datos importantes y hasta curiosos sobre como acontecieron ciertos eventos interesantes, es muy elocuente y tiene una forma muy peculiar de captar la atencion del oyente. Me encantó, es super recomendado el tour!

Irvin was an absolute delight! He is so knowledgeable about Gjirokaster and took us to all the gems as well as places off the beaten track. He was very flexible and gave us extra time at places when we wanted. He also gave us fantastic recommendations for food, other places to visit and other things to do. His sense of humour was also great fun!

We loved this!! We still laugh about Cookie the dog joining us, dancing with the uni students and just having a fantastic tour. Delivery was fun and interesting. Great tour!

Irvin is a very knowledgeable and helpful guide and we enjoyed our tour with him.
