Private Tour to The Past of Communism in Tirana With Food Tasting
A tour I urge all foreigners to take, or at least visit its content for an extraordinary experience.
A great mix between the past and present, you will get to see inside Albania's archives. As we walk the city streets and colorful, graffiti-painted buildings and contrasting neighborhoods we will make stops at different locations, famous for their meaning and part in history.
The central theme of this tour will be life during the Communist regime in the country.
We will explore the secrets of the country's Communist regime as we visit these historical sites and learn about their political, social, and economic legacy. This tour offers a unique opportunity to delve into the lesser-known side of Albania's history.
This will also be a great opportunity to learn more about Tirana and Albania, the culture in general, how things work around here, everyday customs, the lifestyle, nowadays politics, tips directed especially to travelers, how to avoid 'tourist traps' & scams and so on.

The National Museum will be our first stop. If you have a soft spot for the past, here you will learn about the history of a land that has been inhabited thousands of years ago (even before the Stone Age). Walking through the pavilions we will go from the beginning to today.
Fortress of Justinian
COFFEE STOP! After immersing in the past, we will come back to the present and have a coffee - Albanian style. The Fortress of Justinian or the Castle of Tirana is a 700 hundred year old castle from Byzantine-era. A site where people would fight with swords and guns turned into a chilling spot for locals and travelers, full of restaurants, cafes, art shops and more. A must-visit in Tirana.
