Hello everyone and welcome to the land of Eagles!

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.
