The austere and beautiful town of Gjirokastra began to spread downhill from its castle in the 13th century. The castle still stands on its hill, overlooking the whole city and the river valley below. From that lofty point, the grey stone of the houses below and the grey slates of their roofs blend into the hillside, distinguished from it only by their whitewashed walls. As one of the city's most famous sons Ismail Kadare, wrote in Chronicle in Stone, Gjirokastra is "a surprising city, which seemed as if it had come out of the valley unexpectedly, like a prehistoric being, and clambered up with difficulty, stitching itself on the side of the mountain". Gjirokastra became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005. It had been awarded the status of a 'museum-city' by the Albanian government, which gave legal protection to its architectural heritage and kept new building out of the historic center.

1.00I am on a cruise and Upon arrival in Albania, we had to wait for 30-45 minutes after we had security call them for us and was told our PRIVATE tour will be a small group. Asked for refund and was given it. They recommended a driver, who was very kind but was not a guide. He couldn't answer questions we had.
Highly recommended

5.00We travelled more three weeks across Albania with a caravan and decided to try this private trip, as we wanted to spare us the parking stress. Well we received the most of these sites i believe ! We had a private tour, our guide was young, speaking fluently english, studied. He could answer us all the questions we've gathered through our travels. He gave us great historical description as well as natural description from the places we've visited. We could plan and adjust the trip, we even drove slowlier so we could enjoy the picturesque scenery ( the whole trip is really nice! ) our driver brought us safe to all places and we stepped of the car right before entrances. We even had some water and snacks on the board. Our guide was really helpful, nice, friendly and funny ! We had a funny time, just the thee of us, felt verry familiar ! We can only recommend this tour if you want to travel without worries, comfortly, ask and learn about the coutry and the history of them. Thank you very much for this unusual experience.
