The guide was almost an hour late and that was after challenges tracking down the Viator Tour representative. Further the guide was young, inexperienced, limited in her knowledge of the history and culture of the city. She did however walks myself and the one other participant which made for a highly personalized tour over to a part which we would never have found on our own... and we enjoyed a coffee and fantastic view sitting by the lake and gazing at the mountain side... an Albanian-Zen moment...
Was very informative, great value and my guide was fantastic!!
The two of us were the only ones on this tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, answering all our questions. She designed the tour based on our interests.
