This tour had everything, history, food and nature. Absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Tirana.
A must-do day trip from Tirana!
A great way to see the city highlights and get into nature.
I loved every moment, from the mosque to the castle and that incredible lunch. You feel connected to the people and places.
The farm was a fun surprise. Feeding goats and watching cheese being made was something I wasn’t expecting on a city tour!
Perfect for someone wanting to see both Tirana’s cultural side and the countryside. The only small issue was the hike to the castle, beautiful but a bit challenging in the heat. Everything else was very enjoyable.
