Description

My name is Mirko, born and raised in Tirana.
I come from a local family with over 100 years of continuous history in the city, spanning 5–6 generations.
Tirana is not just a place I guide through — it is my home, my heritage, and my everyday life.
Through my tours, I share the city as a true local, with stories passed down through generations. Are you ready to discover the true face of Tirana?
Join me for a unique 2-hour walking tour through the vibrant historic centre of Albania’s capital, which brings the city to life with stories, history, and local insights.

Walk through centuries of culture, politics, and resilience, from Ottoman mosques to communist bunkers, elegant Italian buildings, and quirky modern corners. Tirana is not just a city, it’s a journey through time.
