His ample historical and personal knowledge gave us a deeper understanding of what Albanians have lived through until today. But no, the tour is not a lecture! Markel is professional ,pleasant and friendly making this intimate tour feel like a good friend is taking you around to show you everything there is too see in downtown Tirana Thank you Markel for an outstanding morning!”

Although we often plan our own trips, we would have missed a lot in Albania if we didn't have their assistance. We definitely plan to use Albanian Trip again.”
