In this tour you will have the opportunity to discover some of the magic of the city by visiting the medieval Bazaar, the highlight of the city the Argjiro Castle and also one of the best preserved houses the Zekate House. We start at Cerciz Topulli square with our local guide, continuing towards the Old Bazaar stopping at the Neck of Bazaar, where we also meet some of the artisans of the town, working with old methods, and head towards the Castle. An old castle 2.5 hectares, full of history, tragedy and legends which the local guide will explain you. You`ll be 330 meters above the sea level, enjoying breathtaking views of Gjirokastra, the typical tower houses, covered with grey stone, usually two or three floors. The last stop is the Zeakte house which was a gift by Ali Pasha Tepelena for his accountant Beqir Zeko. The aim of this tour is for you to experience the unique, magical and friendly atmosphere of Gjirokastra, not just to see the most popular tourist attractions.

Bieren (? spelling) was excellent. Besides being a great guy, he has an obvious passion for the history of what we were seeing, and could expound off of any question we asked. Quite enjoyable.

The guide was very knowledgable. We had a lot of questions as 2 couples from different backgrounds(Australian and German). We especially lined the peaceful Zekate house and are still a little sorry, that we did not haf the opportunitiy to try the homemade Rakei

Sehr unmotivierter Führer, der sehr leise sprach. Als wir ihn baten Lauter zu sprechen, warnte er uns, dass er dann ärgerlich werden würde. Das geht überhaupt nicht. Nach dieser Kinfrontation haben wir die Tour nach 30 Minuten abgebrochen. Auch die Reaktion des Veranstalters war unprofessionell. Da wir sehr viele Touren gemacht haben und diese auch immer - zumeist sehr gut - etwa die freewalking Tour in Tirana - bewertet haben, schreiben wir auch mal etwas nicht so nettes. Da ich selber im Tourismus arbeite weiß ich was geht und was nicht. Das hier geht auf keinen Fall.
