Tirana Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Impeccable family to share such a great experience with. I will treasure this memory so much. Highly organized, very professional, super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. This experience was genuinely top of the list for us in Berat - highly recommend it

Elidon is an excellent guide and a wonderful person. He shared so much history of Albania with us and took us to several different places on our way to Himare with a stop in Berat. I highly recommend him as a guide

We had an amazing time watching the traditional Albanian dancing! The performers were wonderful, and everyone was so warm, welcoming, and hospitable. We had such a fun and memorable evening. A beautiful way to experience Albanian culture. Highly recommended! 🇦🇱❤️

The dancers, actors and musicians were all excellent. We had a fun evening. If you have a chance to go don't miss it.

We were a small tour of 6 people which allowed our tour guide to take the time to answer questions and showed us the city without rushing. We appreciate the time and effort.

Our family-style cooking experience with Edison, his wife Ola, and their wonderful family was one of the highlights of our time in Albania.We were warmly greeted at the office in town by Edison’s wife and their 12-year-old daughter, Eggie. Even at such a young age, Eggie greeted us so professionally and made us feel immediately welcomed. After a short 10-minute drive to their home just outside of town, we met the rest of the family and were welcomed with homemade raki, made by Edison’s father, along with Turkish coffee—a special part of their family tradition.Ola and her mother-in-law then guided us through preparing a traditional Albanian meal of meatballs, stuffed ,eggplant, and byrek. Everything was absolutely delicious, and it was so much fun to learn how the dishes were prepared and to experience Albanian food in such an authentic family setting.But as wonderful as the food was, the true highlight for us was spending the evening with such a beautiful, warm, and hardworking Albanian family. Their hospitality made us feel less like tourists and more like welcomed guests in their home.At the end of the evening, we were driven back to our hotel in Berat with full tummies and, even more importantly, full hearts. ❤️We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Berat who wants to experience not just Albanian food, but the warmth and generosity of an Albanian family.

Stevie is an excellent guide, he speaks different languages and has great local knowledge, we were more than satisfied

Very good enjoyed, the guide kejsi who was very professional in the area and history of Tirana and Bovilli lake

Stivi was a brilliant guide with a great sense of humour. He gave us just the right amount of information and cycling. He also gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and other things to do in Tirana. This was my favourite day of our week’s holiday.

A full day, 9-6pm, with private tour guide.Enjoyed the waterfall and interacting with the guide throughout. Tone for a swim although too cold for us!Onto the canyon with great views, then a beautiful place to stop for lunch. Finally a swim down the river running through the canyon.Highly recommended tour.Thank you.

We had a great day with Genti! From the pickup at our hotel, the trip to the waterfall and Osumi canyon, everything was great, the pace was relaxed and Genti surprised us with his knowledge of our surroundings and his talent for spotting herbs in the wild. Highly recommended!

Really lovely afternoon Arielo was a great guide, great value for money, absolutely stuffed by the time we’d finished. Not too much walking, nice group size 8 of us, 6 English and a couple of septics (I tried to teach them rhyming slang..) Couldn’t fault it.

The whole experience was amazing! Our tour guide, Rezart, made us feel very comfortable throughout the tour and was incredibly knowledgeable. He made the experience even more enjoyable, and I would definitely book another tour with Rezart next time!

A fun and educational trip to Tirana. Our guide Albert told a lot about the history and took the time to do a relaxed tour. Our driver too (forgot the name) deserves praise because he guided us well through the hectic traffic, and his music choice was also TOP 😃

We had the pleasure of touring with Elidon from Albania Hidden Trails, and it was an unforgettable experience. He took us from Tirana to Berat and Gjirokastër, where we explored the stunning castles and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Throughout the journey, Elidon shared his deep knowledge of Albanian history and culture, bringing each place to life with fascinating stories. His passion for his beautiful country made the trip both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover Albania in an authentic and engaging way!

Tour is really good if you want a quick way to see a different part of Albania! A little longer in Berat would be good as once you get to Berat after the castle tour, we got some lunch and that only left around a hour of our free time left which didn’t give you much time to explore Berat but a very beautiful place from what we saw! Ervin, our guide, was really knowledgeable, answering all questions people had and was really friendly! The WhatsApp group was also really good, and was great to get recommendations etc for food and so on - definitely made the trip a lot easier to navigate!
