My first time in Albania, and I’m amazed at how incredible this country is! I had heard about Gjirokastra, so I joined a tour, and it was definitely the right choice. The tour guide was friendly, informative, and punctual, making the experience even better. We spent about 5 hours in Gjirokastra, visiting the stunning castle, wandering through the charming old bazaar, and enjoying delicious food. I’m officially a fan of Albanian cuisine—everything was so fresh and flavorful! The grilled lamb and qifqi (a traditional rice ball dish) were fantastic. On the way back, I even managed a nap to recharge for more exploring in Tirana. Highly recommend this tour!

The guide Khalidi was brilliant, he was very informative and we asked many questions. Excellent guide and the town is amazing especially the changing colours of the mountains. The Fort was amazing and we had free time to explore the town. I highly recommend Khalidi as a guide and the route had breathtaking views ! Khalidi also highlightied the main points on the route .

Our guide, Bledi, was amazing, very knowledgeable, professional and charming. The vehicle was super comfy for the long drive. The palace is a nice one to visit.. we spent about a hour and a half in there. Monastery was quick and interesting. The tour itself could have been wrapped up in half a day, as there wasn’t much to do apart from the castle and monastery visit. The world unesco site was a bit underwhelming with touristy shops and restaurants. Totally skippable. Would have preferred to either come back early or explore something else nearby.
