Alternative tours in Albania, led by locals.
We're a three-person team that has spent the last ten years walking and researching Tirana, street by street. We run small-group walking tours, plan private trips across Albania, and help film crews and journalists get things done here. Write to us and one of us answers — not an agency, not a reseller.

The Tirana walking tour
Around three hours on foot, in a group small enough to stop and talk. We pass 100-year-old mud-brick (qerpiç) houses, communist-era blocks, repainted facades and the courtyard gardens that are quietly disappearing under new towers. You leave understanding how Tirana became the city you see today. €25 per person.

Private tours, built around you
Tell us what you're curious about and how much time you have. We'll put together a route anywhere in Albania — architecture, history, food, coastline — with a local guide and a firm quote within 24 hours.

Film, press & production support

Built with local artists and makers.
From a two-hour walk to a two-week trip.
The Albania you won't see from a tour bus.
Why book direct
Where your money actually goes.
Book through a big international platform and up to 32% of what you pay leaves Albania before you even land, as commissions and fees. Book with us and all of it stays here: with the guides, the families who open their doors, and the small workshops we visit. Same trip, very different footprint.
Ask us about a private tripNo middlemen
Every booking is handled by Ash, Kristi and Brandon. Nothing is resold.
Answers within 24 hours
Private tour and production requests get an itemized reply from a person within a day.
Money stays in the neighborhood
Our tours support independent places like the House of Sali Shijaku and Cafe Beni.
Discretion when it matters
Public figures, journalists and crews get full confidentiality, with signed NDAs when needed.
Small groups, always
Walking tours stay small enough to talk — no headsets, no flag on a stick.
Pay how you like
Visa and Mastercard, or POK — the Albanian mobile wallet. Both processed securely.
