Join us in this Private Tour of Tirana to explore the best highlights of Tirana. You will have the chance to visit Bunkart, Dajti Express, and the most interesting city musts. The combination of the best attractions of Tirana, in and out the city would offer you a clear view for the Metropole of Albania.

   This is one of the experiences you should definitely partake in. Andi and his sister Sindi are very warm and welcoming and this is a excellent first tour if you... read more just arrived in Albania or a great supplement to your trip if you have been traveling around. This is a beginner  cooking class but even more it’s a hangout with locals. You get to talk about Albania, ask questions, and share your own experiences in Albania and can probably gain a lot of insight from those experiences you have already had  because you can discuss it with Andi.   My experience was with one other traveler and we assisted in making all the dishes mentioned while also trying their homemade Raki and wine. Not only was this fun, but it is probably the most reasonably priced tour you can find. You get time with locals (our visit was 3.5 hours), fantastic local food (which can be hard to find in Tirana sometimes), and you take home what you can’t eat. It’s very relaxed and just a very wholesome experience. I am not one for cooking classes as much, but you should strongly consider taking this experience.   Thank you Andi and Sindi! I love what you guys are doing!

   Really excellent experience! I was a very late booking and they were able to accomodate me still. The tour was amazing - we went to places I hadn’t found yet... read more and tried foods I had never even heard of and would have had no idea how to order. It was a really great way to orient yourself to Tirana. My guide was really thorough but also so kind; it felt like I was exploring the city with a friend! Would definitely recommend this - you’ll end the tour full of amazing food and happy!

   Learning, exchanging, sipping wine and stuffing ourselves with amazing Albanian cuisine. No better way to spend a rainy day.

Tour Details

This tour will introduce you to the local Tirana and its cultural, historical and culinary heritage. As an urban metropolis, it is full of contrasts in which can easily be noticed the scars from the past and the present. Above all, it is the crossway of different periods of Albanian Modern History.

This Private tour of Tirana is a combination of City Walking Tour and Driving Tour. During the walking part, we will be able to explore most of the City Centre of Tirana, Main Boulevard, New Bazaar Area and “Bllok”.

Out of the city we drive toward the Bunkart, a former Nuclear Bunkers of the ’70. The most lively souvenir of the Albanian Communist Period. The next station will be driving to Dajti Mountain when we get the cable car to enjoy the great view of Tirana.

Itinerary

DrivingBunkart

Built during the ’70s it was an Anti-Atomic Bunker that will protect the Albanian Communist Elite in case of a Nuclear Attack. With more than 100 rooms, now it is a Unique Museum that introduces us the everyday Albanian Life after the Second World War till the ’90, under the Communist Regime.

DrivingDajti Mountain Cable Car

Not far from Bunkart we will get the Cable Car which sends us near the top of Dajti Mountain when we can enjoy an amazing view of the City.
Short break at the Dajti Express Bar.

WalkingMain Boulevard "Deshmoret e Kombit"

Build in the ’40s during the Italian occupation of Albania it was first named “Avenue of the Empire”. The architecture was very similar to the Fascist Axe of the Italian Flag. After the Second World War, hugely used for Military Parades organized by communist goverment. Big Show of the time!

Walking"Blloku"

The former Residencial Area of the Communist Elite. It is where the Enver Hoxha used to live with his family and his close supporters. During the Communist time, entering there was not possible as it was guarded by the military.
Now, totally different is the main business and nightlife area of Tirana. Still, the Villa of Enver Hoxha stands there, as the last souvenir of the past regime.

WalkingScanderbeg Square

Rebuild recently it is the biggest Main Square of Albania. Surrounded by the Government Buildings and in the middle of the 2 main boulevards of Tirana. This square had seen a lot and had lots to tell.

WalkingNew Bazaar Area

One of the 10th most interesting Bazaars in Balkans! Renovated under the same project as the Main Square it is a good combination of Local Food, Souvenirs shop and lots of bars.
