5.00Artan was absolutely brilliant!! The tour isn't just a story learnt from hisory books and regurgitated for tourists. Artan himself is deeply connected with Durres, both with its history and its present, and brings his personal and familial insight into his tour. It's fantastic to hear the story of Durres from someone so personally interwoven with the history you are learning about! Artan clearly also has an architectural and art background, and his discussion of the different architectural, historic, and international influences on the city was passionate with an academic's love of knowing as much about it as possible, and explaining it in a way those with less knowledge will enjoy. We were blown away by how much knowledge Artan had, how personal and intimate his knowledge of the history was, and his ability to give us a gregarious and enthusiastic tour despite, I'm sure, having given the same tour 1000 times before! His tour is both very practised and perfect, and simultaneously enthusiastic as if it was his first time sharing his knowledge with others. At one point, we also diverged from the tour to ask some questions about how Durres is now, culturally and politically. Artan took this in his stride and was as enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate on that sublect as he was on the history. He took the time to answer our questions thoroughly, which we really appreciated! Artan appears to have many interests, and for that we were glad, as he brought his passion for them all together into this tour. We left it smiling, with much to chat about and reflect on, feeling 1000 times more informed about what we were seeing in Durres, and much more able to appreciate our travel experience here! We recommend this tour 100%!
