Hi! You are seeing this profile mainly because I love my country and I really enjoy tour-guiding. I am an Albanian, born and raised in Tirana, who has lived through the dramatic changes of the Albanian capital in the past 36 years. Although I have traveled extensively in my adult years, I am always thrilled to come back to my home-city. As the saying goes, "East or West, home is the best". If you choose to travel Albania with me, you will find out that I am passionate about the stories behind every street or corner, buildings and ruins, old neighborhoods or skyscrapers, traditional cuisine and fancy restaurants. I am fascinated by the ancient history of my country, enriched by its culture and traditions, challenged by the dynamics and changes, forever in love with its attractions and thrilled to be able to show you around. I have been working as a full time tour guide since 2008 and it seems like I am going to be doing this for many years to come. I am confident that Tirana and Albania will surprise you and if you choose to travel with me I will do my best to make your visit unforgettable. Most beautiful things in life are free, what you pay for is the way to get there. Miresevini! 1. Master's Degree in Albanian History from the University of Tirana. 2. "Hand On" Tourist Guiding Training Certificate from the World Federation of Tourist Guides Association and University of Cyprus. 3. National Tourist Guide License issued by the Albanian Ministry of Tourism 4. Drivers License None

Overview of your Tirana tour

BunkArt is one of the most recent museums opened in Tirana. It is situated inside the nuclear shelter of the Albanian Communist Leader Enver Hoxha which is located within a military base compound and was kept secret for many decades. The nuclear bunker with more then 100 rooms in five levels is build underground and is part of the defense strategy of Albania during the Cold War. After visiting the underground bunker, we take the cable car which which takes us to Mountain Dajti. The ride is 15 min long and offers panoramic views of Tirana. Once we arrive in the Dajti Natural Park we can walk for some minutes and/or enjoy lunch in one of the restaurants in the area. As a Tirana homeboy I have lived under the communist regime and also experienced the revolution that brought to an end the 45 year long dictatorship. The places and street we are going to visit are not just part of the tour, they are a part of my life and I am going to share it with you.
