Hello everyone and welcome to the land of Eagles! My name is Elio and I am a professional tour guide with a great passion for introducing travelers to this new and exciting destination, called Albania. As a dedicated tour professional, I enjoy meeting new people and planning custom itineraries for them. It will be a great pleasure to show all of you one of the unexplored destination of the Balkans & world, Albania. I work in the tourism field since 2009, initially as a driver and later in 2010 as a certified guide. During all this time I gained a lot of experience as I had the chance to guide visitors from various parts of the world. I have guided regular groups and individuals in 3 languages: Albania, English and Italian to the various tourist attractions of the Albania & Balkans. I hope to welcome you as my clients and introduce you to my beautiful country. I can guide tours all over the country starting from the capital, Tirana, to the 3 UNESCO sites in Albania, the numerous castles and various unexplored places. Apart historical and cultural information, I like to give to my clients also an insight of the country including traditions, food, local life etc. For any question or information, I am at your disposal. Thank you and see you soon. -Member of the National Association of Tourist Guides of Albania ( NATGA ). - Driving license Category "D" - Certificate of Pass Hands on Tourist Guiding Course Issued by the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations. -Certificate & License for being a National Tourist Guide in Albania Issued by the Ministry of Economic Development, Tourism, Trade & Entrepreneurship of Albania. -Driving license Category "D" I can drive any bus with more than 8 passenger seats with a trailer up to 750kg maximum authorized mass (MAM).

    Elio is truly exceptional. Having done many tours over the years, I can say without hesitation that this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a guide.

Elio is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful,...

    I thoroughly enjoyed the day trip to Kosovo. Elio was an excellent guide. He took me to both the well-known sights and a very special memorial to a local hero. It was a long day, but a very enjoyable one. We went to the top of the Cathedral's Bell Tower for a magnificent view of Pristina. Elio described the things we could see and was able to answer my questions...
