Without a doubt, one of the best walking tours I’ve ever taken. Nermin didn’t just show us Shkodër—she brought it to life. Having lived through Albania’s communist era, she shared deeply personal stories that no history book or museum could ever capture. Her passion, honesty, humor, and ability to connect the city’s past with its present made every stop meaningful. As if that weren’t enough, she’s also a talented artist, and it was incredibly special to discover that some of the beautiful murals throughout the city are actually her work. You leave not only knowing Shkodër better, but understanding its soul through the eyes of someone who has lived its history and helped shape its culture. If you’re visiting Shkodër, do yourself a favor and book this tour. It was the highlight of my trip.
