Famous for its unique Medieval History, traditions and religions tolerance, Kruja is, for instance, one of the cities with the brightest past in Albania. Starting from the XI century it has always been a stronghold in countless wars. In addition, this day tour brings the best values of Kruja unique Old Bazaar, the famous castle, Ethnographic Museum and more. This tour is well balanced between driving and some short walks into charming cobblestone streets of Kruja and inside its castle. The tour of Kruja could not have finished better than a wine tasting experience in a local winery, not dar from Kruja and Tirana.

I did this tour with 4 friends and we all absolutely loved it. We stayed in Tirana and really wanted to see Kruja and Duress during our stay but didn't feel comfortable driving. We booked this tour through our Airbnb host with the intention of seeing Kruja and Duress. Upon pick up Daniel our guide (Who was absolutely incredible) asked why we wanted to see Duress and we mentioned it was to see the Sea. He then asked if he could take us to the Cape of Rodon instead and we said yes. It was incredible, we spent the morning in Kruja learning about the history and then went on to have lunch at the beautiful Duka Winery. We finished off the day with a walk on the Cape of Rodon and it was gorgeous. If you are considering booking this tour do it! Thank you again, Daniel! Our group loved you and would book another tour with you in a heartbeat.

Andi was so accommodating throughout the entire trip planning process. He is truly passionate about Albania and its history! He picked us up from the airport to start our journey, we spent a few hours at Duka Winery, met with the wine makers, and got to see their hands-on process. We then were able to spend time at Restorant Kantina Duka for our wine tasting with a beautiful lakeside view. From there, we travelled to Kruje where we were able to walk around the castle, do some shopping at the bazaar, and have a delicious local lunch. It's the perfect way to spend your first or last day in Tirana.
