My name is George Qako, I am 60 years old. I love to show everyone my wonderful house. A tipical house of Berat, three centuries old with paitings from 1869s.
The house owner was very charming and friendly. He showed me around the house and we enjoyed the raki and espresso together. It was surprised to know he also started a band in berat. Very nice experience and highly recommend it to people who visit the town!
I was the only guest. We communicated through Google Translate. But that was ok. He was friendly and talked also about his musical carreer and family. It was a nice visit. Finally he brought water, coffee and Raki.
Xhorxh invites you to his privat house and showed us around. Communication was only through google translate which made it a bit tricky sometimes but he’s the sweetest host and happy to interact with visitors
It was very nice that he showed us his phantastic old house. Afterwards we had a nice meeting with glico and raki and felt at home. On the other hand he does not speak a word of English - it should not be described as "english tour". With a prepared presentation in many languages and with online translation by mobile phone it worked, nevertheless, go get a good contact with the guide and his wife. The tour description with several locations in Berat is misleading, since we visited only one house.
I loved this tour so much..it was so unexpected! Xhorh and his wife Antiginou were fantastic hosts..very upbeat..fun and enthusiastic and although they could not speak any English we did everything through google translate and it worked perfectly! The house is an absolute hidden gem..and it was such a lovely experience to be in the home of Albanians!
