Tirana Between Light & Darkness Free Tour
Overview
I come from a local family with over 100 years of continuous history in the city, spanning 5–6 generations.
Tirana is not just a place I guide through — it is my home, my heritage, and my everyday life.
Through my tours, I share the city as a true local, with stories passed down through generations.

Start in the heart of Tirana, discover hidden stories of statues, bunkers, and the city’s transformation.
