Hello My name is Mirko, born and raised in Tirana.
I come from a local family with over 100 years of continuous history in the city, spanning 5–6 generations.
Tirana is not just a place I guide through — it is my home, my heritage, and my everyday life.
Through my tours, I share the city as a true local, with stories passed down through generations. Step off the beaten path and explore Tirana like a local.
Your journey begins at Skanderbeg Square, the heart of the city, where your guide introduces you to Albania’s fascinating past and dynamic present.

From there, wander through hidden corners and street art spots, discovering a side of Tirana that many visitors miss. You’ll hear stories of resilience, transformation, and daily life during the communist era.

We’ll then head to the Pyramid of Tirana, a striking landmark that reflects the country’s contrasts – from dictatorship to creativity.

Next, explore the lively Blloku district, once the private neighborhood of the communist elite, now buzzing with cafés, boutiques, and nightlife.

The highlight of the tour comes at the end: ascending to a rooftop terrace where you’ll enjoy the most stunning panoramic views of the city as the sun sets. Raise a glass of traditional raki and let the skyline of Tirana be your backdrop.

This isn’t just a tour – it’s a moment to connect with the city in the most authentic way possible.
