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! 😊
Amazing tour with numerous fun facts that we would otherwise never know. Irvin did a great job of showing us around. Highly recommended.
We had an amazing tour of Gjirokastër with Irvin and couldn't have asked for a better guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about the city's history, culture, and traditions, and he shared everything in a very engaging and easy-to-understand way. Irvin was friendly, professional, and passionate about his hometown, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. He was always happy to answer our questions and gave us many interesting insights that we would never have discovered on our own. Thanks to him, we truly appreciated the unique charm and rich heritage of Gjirokastër. If you're planning to visit this beautiful UNESCO World Heritage city, we highly recommend taking a tour with Irvin. It will definitely make your visit even more memorable! Thank you, Irvin, for a fantastic experience!
Irvin is a local treasure! He navigated the steep cobblestones with ease, sharing local history in a way that never felt scripted. Engaging, full of hidden photo spots, and a perfect lunch tip at the end — the most authentic walking tour in Gjirokastër!
