“Fantastic Tour of Durrës”
My family and I stayed in Tirana and visited Durrës for a day. We wanted to have a more relaxed day exploring away from the capital.
Franko delivered a great tour and made our day memorable. He was very knowledgeable and patiently explained the fascinating history of the area to us. We spent our time walking around the main attractions and also went off the beaten path. For two hours, we spent our time well learning and sightseeing — it made our day.
I highly recommend Franko's tour to anyone visiting Durrës!
