Tour description
Welcome to Tirana, Albania’s dynamic capital—a city where the echoes of Ottoman rule, Italian elegance, and Communist harshness blend seamlessly with bold urban renewal and creative ambition. This is a place where the past and future aren’t just neighbors—they’re in constant conversation.
As a literature graduate with a passion for storytelling, my goal is to bring the city’s past to life through vivid, engaging narratives. Whether you're into history, culture, or just curious about how this unique city pulses today, I’ll help you see, feel, and truly connect with it. I’ll also share local tips, things to do, and places to eat or unwind - so your journey continues long after the tour ends.
