During our visit to Durres we were lucky enough to take a tour with local guide Artan, and it was really an extraordinary experience. From the first moment he was very professional, friendly and above all extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. Artan didn’t just show us the main places, but told us many interesting facts and details that we would never have discovered on our own. You can clearly see that he loves his job and his city, and he manages to convey this passion to those who participate in the tour. The tour was perfectly organized, with great attention to detail and timing, without ever making us feel in a hurry. He was also very helpful in answering all our questions and giving us useful tips on what to see and where to eat in Durres. Thanks to Artan we discovered the city in an authentic and engaging way. If you are visiting Durres, I would definitely recommend taking a tour with him. It was one of the best experiences of our trip!
