Irvin - Tour Guide in Gjirokaster

I’m a passionate storyteller and a licensed tour guide with a love for history, legends, and good laughs. Outgoing by nature, I never miss a chance to crack a joke or turn a fact into a fun memory. What truly brings me joy is connecting with people from around the world and yes, sharing our delicious local cuisine (it really is as tasty as the rumours say!).

P.S: Don’t mind the serious face in the photo — I do laugh, I swear! Just saving it for the perfect moment on tour.

We had a wonderful tour with Irvin, a knowledgeable and exceptionally witty guide. Having arrived quite late during the day at Gjirokastra, we looked for a tour to get some input on the history, architectural facts and culture aside from the stunning visual of the city. We were only two people which was a privilege! The castle was closed unfortunately, but Irvin made sure to guide us through the most beautiful spots and explained everything with such charm! The tour ended with a some Oshaf in a cozy cafe. It was a great pleasure and I highly recommend to book the tour with him.

We had a great tour through Gjirokastër with Irvin. He is such a nice and funny guy and shows us the city from a very exciting side. We had great discussions about a lot of things. We would really recommend a tour with him. He taked a lot of time and cared four us. After the tour we drank an excellent coffee together. Thanks for all :-)

It was a great tour with Irvin, he had no problem with giving a tour just for the 2 of us, which only enriched this experience, as we had a private guided tour around Gjirokaster. Irvin showed us all of the historic center of the city, explained a lot about the heritage, local identity, the culture of Albania and its people 🇦🇱 he is very friendly, easy-going, funny with his jokes and has a great knowledge that he is eager to share 🥰 we asked many questions and he always answered in a broad and interesting way. At the end of the tour he shared a written summary that he prepared himself, that also included wider explanation and some tips on where to eat and what to see in Albania ☺️ I recommend higly this experience to everyone!!!
