Përshëndetje! As an experienced private tour guide, I love arranging tours to meet the needs of my guests. On my private tours, I will treat you like a friend and show you as much as I can in the time we have together. I have been living in Durres, Albania, for almost all of my life, so you can be sure you will have a real local guide. I grew up working in the tourism industry, which is one of the biggest industries in Albania. I'm a qualified guide, a very curious person, an explorer, and a nature lover. My goal is to give you not just a tour but a unique and customized experience where you can feel like a local, discovering hidden places, meeting local people, tasting typical dishes, and, what I love most, going back home with great memories. My tours are for everyone, you don't need to be an adventurer or a backpacker, you just need to be curious enough. I really love when you can have a good mix of the outdoors and unique local experiences: no crowds, no rush, and the feeling that you are really immersing yourself in local life. This is the better way to discover a territory. As we travel together on the tour, I am always happy to make as many stops as you wish, for photos or just to get out and stretch the legs! I find that the stops that were not planned are often the most enjoyable! My local knowledge means I can often recommend hidden gems along the route, making your tour even more special! Tell me what you would like to see, and I will plan a tour to meet your requirements! I am a flexible and fun guide, and I would love to meet you during your vacation in Albania! The tours you can find here are just some examples; they can be completely customized to your desires or for larger groups. Please, feel free to get in touch for more information. Mirë se vini!
