Excellent service, great tour - The tour was well put together. Our Guide, Ligor was extremely professional, told of a lot of history and gave us ample time to soak in the culture and history that we have learned when visiting the Castle of Krujë as well as the Skenderbeg museum.
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend the tour to others to expel!
