Incredible experience in Albania
Visited Gjirokaster and Blue Eye this month (February). Gjirokaster is the most beautiful city of Albania, a must see. The Blue Eye was lovely also. We loved this tour and the tour guide was awesome.

Wonderful Experience!
Spent a wonderful day in Gjirokastra. I would rate it as the most beautiful and interesting cultural city of Albania. We sa the bazaar, the castle, prison, museum and Zekate House. We also had Lunch in KARDHASHI tavern. A very good and recommend experience.

A trip to remember
Did not expect Gjirokastra to be that beautiful. We explored the market, and the castle had an old prison, which was interesting. Many guns were just lying there; you could pick them up. Also, visited an old house showing how the rich used to live back in the day. Our guide, Henri, is very adventurous and fun. Had two days with him. A wonderful experience.

Perfect day from Tirana
Henry was great. He made sure that I see all the attractions while ensuring that he keeps to my pace. We patiently explained the background of the places we visited. Although it was a very long day, time flew as he is also very good company.
