“In our 6 months of travel, this tour with Marco and Mario was our favorite. It felt like walking around town with a couple of knowledgable friends – as opposed to your typical, dry tour. We learned about the history of Gjirokaster, as well as what it's like to live there today. The bridge is cool, and Marco even spent a bit of extra time with us to show us some other sites. Highly recommended!”
