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

If you are short in time, I highly recommend this tour of Tirana, Kruja, and Durres. I got to see and learn so many many things about these three important cities of Albania. The sites were all so beautiful and I was also blessed with a beautiful day. Albanian hospitality is amazing and I do hope to return to this country and see more about the country with this guide.

Adrian is not only a great guide, knowledgeable and didactical, but also a great person. He not only gave us the raw historical perspective, but also a lot of the culture. The itinerary was perfect for a day long tour.
