Arben Kola

Arben really deserves to be ranked No 1 of the guides to Tirana - and Albania. He was knowledgeable and patient with our group, accepting and dealing with all our needs on our short trip to Albania. I loved the way he shared with us the challenges of life in a country that is going through many changes, as well as giving us a detailed history of the past. If you need someone to guide you into special places that are not easily found in the guidebooks, then Arben will be a delightful companion. Just watch how he is greeted enthusiastically by friends as he travels about. You'll recognise him as he wears a white felted wool hat called a plis and you may even get to visit the place where it is made.
