Nice easy, informative walk around the centre area. Learned lots and saw cool things. My guide gave us a lot of information on albania in general not just the communism aspect. At the end we stopped by a small Cafe to wrap up (water or coffee included) that was communist themed with a small museum.

I highly recommend this walking tour! It was a captivating and informative journey through the communist history of Albania, made particularly special by our guides personal touch. He had a vast knowledge on the topic, mixing in deeply emotional stories with a touch of humour. The itinerary of the tour was well thought out and our guide made sure there were spots to sit or find shade. I left the tour with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of the resilience of the Albanian people.

The tour gives an insight about the history of Albania which might not be accessible online, we will definitely see Tirana after the tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful ( special thanks for him). Highly recommended

This is the firt time we took a free tour. We was a little skeptical about it. We ended up very happy. Our tour guide gave us plenty of information about Tirana history. 3000 yrs of history into 2 hours walk. I highly recommend you to take one. I really like to fact that tips or comoensation is not required or pressured. It totally depends on your satisfaction and economic ability. Our tour guide worked hard and deserved a fair appreciation. Things you should prepare if you take a tour in Summer: Comfortable clothes and shoes Hat Sunglasses Plenty of water Sunscreen And, an open minded. You will be surprised.
