Joana_T, Feb 2022
As a history appasionate that I am, always wanted to know the history of communism and its influence in Albanian lifestyle. This tour was perfect for what I needed. It wasn't just history but also fun. The tour guide Bergi was very social, he had lots of insights and answered all my questions
