Sabían was excellent! From making sure we were all in the right place at the right time, to sending recommendation for food and drink! Managed to cram a lot of history and information into a short period of time, but didn’t feel overkill!! Excellent and totally recommend

Amazing tour — Sabian was friendly, hilarious, and unbelievably knowledgeable. He tied the city’s stories to each of us, kept the walk easy and engaging, and shared tons of great tips for exploring both the city and the country.

    Excellent tour!

    Stephen_J, Jul 2026
    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Sabian, who was knowledgeable, interesting and amusing! We would recommend the tour, excellent all round!

    Good overview of Tirana city

    Athena_F, Jun 2026
    Took the tour with guide Sabian. He was friendly and funny. Good blend of history and humor. It was a small group of only 10 which made it easy to navigate, stay together and hear the guide. We met at the clock tower and then walked to many sites (close by), easy walk on flat terrain, lots of shade from trees along the streets which was nice as it was hot. Carry water, a hat and wear sunblock. We saw most sights from the outside except for 2 churches and a mosque. If you are a woman, you have to wear a scarf and cover your legs - no worries, the mosque will provide for free. At the end of the tour, Sabian gave several recommendations for food. It was a good tour. Right length.

    Great Tour with Sabian

    We did a walking tour of Tirana centre with Sabian. He was an outstanding guide. He related so much Albanian history we thought we were in a classroom. Our group of 9 was a perfect size. Sabian made an effort to connect with each of us separately and personally. He described all the sites we saw in detail. He added his own humour appropriately. We highly recommend him!

    Sabian was great fun! He took us to places which we wouldn’t necessarily have found on our own, like the declaration of independence monument. Very happy to answer questions and made sure that he talked to everyone in the group. We didn’t walk all that far, but it was all very interesting
