Free walking tours in Shkodër

Excellent tour with a really professional and friendly guide!

I always do free walking tours in a new city and think it is a great way to learn about it. This tour did not disappoint. It was around 2 hours with an energetic and knowledable guide. Really enjoyed it. Must do when you are town.

I had a great experience on this walking tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shkodër. Our guide was wonderful—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city and its history. She provided detailed explanations about the monuments, the development of the town, and Albanian history more broadly, which helped bring everything to life. What I particularly appreciated was how expressive and enthusiastic she was while speaking. The tour never felt like a rehearsed script; it felt like a genuine conversation. She encouraged questions throughout and took the time to answer everyone's questions thoughtfully and in detail. The tour gave me a much deeper understanding of Shkodër and Albania's history than I would have gained exploring on my own. It's an excellent introduction to the city and a great way to start your visit. Highly recommended.

I often take walking tours like this. Today was different. As we wandered through time and space, Sidita brought the alleys, the ledges, and the ruins to life, casually revealing the stubborn and proud spirit of a nation just emerging from centuries of oppression. This walk is an essential introduction to the charming city of Shkodra—and, in my humble opinion, to all of Albania. And go eat at Fisi after that ;)

I was very impressed by Kiri’s explanation of Albanian and Shkoder’s history with pictures she had as we walked around. It was an enjoyable walk around at a steady pace. I was surprised at the end by the free gift too. It was very kind of her. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Kiri.

Paula was very kind and friendly. True guru with lots of information and people skills to engage the group.

Wow, great tour! It really made me appreciate the town and gave a great introduction to both local and national history. Highly recommended if you’re in Shkoder!

Great tour with a very enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable guide!

Paola did an excellent job! She showed us the most interesting parts of the city center and told us lots about the history and the Albanian people in general and in North Albania & Shkodra in particular. I really enjoyed the tour!

This was one of the best walking tours I’ve ever done. Paola was very very knowledgable and highly engaging. She really brought the whole city/ country to life and came away full of appreciation and and admiration for Albania and in particular Skhoder. The pace and level of content was perfect and I would highly highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour with a depth of information that really gave you a feel for the city. We absolutely loved the tour and the guide was excellent

Great energy and engaging guide

Flott guide som elsker sitt Skhodra. Veldig informativ. Ga oss en flott tur.

I had an amazing tour today. I've been on many tours in Albania, and I still learned many new things. The best thing about our guide, is that she wasn't reading from a mental script. You could tell she genuinely loves her city and country. Highly recommended while in Shkodra.

Paola is really good! Very knowledgeable and passionate for her country and city history. She's quite approachable, easy to follow and open to a lot of questions. A must see for anyone coming to Shkodra!

Amazing tour and very knowledgeable and friendly guide :)

My daughter and I loved our tour with Sadita. So much knowledge and passion in regards to Albania. Highly recommended.

I was the only person and Kiri still accepted to do the tour, waiting for me as I could not be at the starting point in time. You will enjoy how passionate she is when she tells about different stories and aspects. She knows a lot about the Albanian and especially her city's history and connects it in a beautiful way with different stops during the tour. Somehow she managed quite well to mention a lot of points that later during my trip got me some aha-effects. Highly recommendable.

Very competent, interesting and flexible

One of the best walking tours I have ever done!!! Thank you for being such a nice person, giving great tips and telling such interesting stories about Shkodra!!!! More than 5 stars

Ha sido un placer hacer el free tour con está guía. Ella se ha explicado muy bien y en todo momento se ha asegurado de que la entendíamos. Los lugares que hemos visitado nos han marcado por la historia que representan.

I can really reccomand this tour if you want to get know Shokdra and his political and historical background. All in all, the informations were really helpful to understand the history of this area. After the tour I understand much more the reasons for the different architecture and I see things which I didn't noticed before. The explanations were easy to understand and explained in an intersting way. Thank you.

Paola is an incredible tour guide. She was attentive to any questions from my side, very welcome, and provided a really deep dive into Shkodër history and architecture. I will definitely recommend her to others.

Paola did a wonderful job in showing us her city with passion and competence. With a friendly attitude and an informative approach the two hours spent roaming with her in town were a real pleasure.

I had a wonderfull guided tour provided by the very spontaneous Paola. She showed me the highlights of the city she grew up. With passion she gave a very clear view over Shkröder (and Albania in general). She made a point of giving real facts and was happy to give answers on a variety of questions I had. Perfect English speaking. Worth visiting the beautifull city with Paola. Great job! Thanks, Nick - Belgium
