Hi, I'm Irvin, a licensed local guide and storyteller with a passion for history, legends, and meeting people from around the world.
I love bringing the past to life through stories, sharing hidden corners of the city, and adding a bit of humor along the way. My goal is simple: to help you discover Gjirokastër like a local and leave with great memories.
And yes, the local food really is as delicious as everyone says!
P.S. Don’t let the serious photo fool you—I’m much friendlier (and funnier) in person! 😊
The free walking tour that we did with Irvin was quite possibly the best walking tour we've ever done, free or not. We got a wealth of information about the history of Gjirokaster and Albania, as well as what life is like today. The tour was a great mix of history and culture. We even were unexpectedly treated to some traditional iso-polyphonic singing, which we agreed might have been the highlight of our three weeks in the region. We would absolutely take this tour again, if we return to Gjirokaster!
Sehr tolle Führung. Immenses Wissen und sehr gut erklärt. Vielen Dank
