Things to do Gjirokaster Free Walking Tour

Gjirokaster Free Walking tour is a 2 hours tour organized by certified guides. The tour is newer so doesn't have many reviews. During the tour we will show you the amazing stone city of Gjirokaster focusing on its history, culture, architecture, traditions, and local histories. We will see the most interesting parts of the city like the Bazaar area or areas where are located the most beautiful Gjirokaster style houses like Scenduli house or some of the houses of local famous people like the house of the dictator Enver Hoxha or the house of Ismail Kadare the most famous Albanian writer. We will visit also the castle, but we will not visit the castle inside as it has a price for tickets, and we want to let people choose if visiting or no or when visiting and how much time they want to spend there. Anyway, the tour ends near the castle entry, so you can go inside right after the tour if you want. During our tour, we will also pass by the best panoramic spots for amazing views and have possibility to take beautiful panoramic pictures. Hope to see you soon!! (Not recommended for people with health problems or walking problems as the town is hilly and can be difficult)

“Spannend und interessant”

Tolle, interessante und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Eugene zeigt Gjirokastra und bringt uns Geschichte, Kultur sowie Land und Leute näher. Schöne Aussichten und interessante Kleinigkeiten runden die Stadtführung ab. Die 2 Stunden sind wie im Flug vergangen. Volle 5 Sterne!

“Wonderful experience in Gjirokaster ”

Our guide was wonderful! Really enjoyed hearing more about Gjirokaster fascinating history and he was informative and entertaining. Usefull information, and well explained, we were from different countries and we all could understand what he was saying. At the end of the tour he asked again if the group needed any other info or help for Gjirokaster or Albania in general making sure all people to get info necessary for their trip. Would highly recommend at the start of your visit for anyone visiting Gjirokaster for the first time so after the tour to know better what to do for the rest of the time.

“Recommended!!”

The tour was really up to my taste, as I really enjoy a heavy historical content based tour, and that was what I got but not only. Get to know the origin of the city and how it became what it is today. The tour guide was really entertaining and knowledgeable and was always available to answer questions. Definitely recommend if you're visiting and interested in knowing more about Gjirokaster and Albania.

“Tres Bien!”

The tour was great! Our guide Eugene was extremely knowledgeable and took us to some very cool spots we wouldn't have discovered on our own. I loved the history and pop culture facts. At the end of the tour, we were given a list of recommended places (e.g. coffee shops and restaurants). These are spots recommended by locals so you know they are authentic. Eugene is a national guide so he can help with good info for all Albania, he was ready and so prepared for any question. I highly recommend this tour!

“Great "private" tour”

Only my wife and I and Eugen did the tour as usual, thank you accepting so small "group". Eugen showed us places where we never thought to visit. His comments were very interesting and the tour was a pleasure.

“Great tour around Gjirokastar”

Eugen was really nice showing us around the city and some corners that we would not check for sure.. He was really professional even though we were just 3 people, he didn't cancel the tour and he ran the tour from the beginning till the end.

“Informative and relaxing tour through Gijrokaster”

We learnt a lot about Gijrokaster and the history of Albania in general on this tour. Eugen took a lot of time for us and answered all our questions. Gijrokaster is very beautiful, but you have to walk a few metres up and down on uneven ground. We can recommend the tour to anyone who is good on foot and interested in history.
