“We arrived without a reservation. Which wasn't a problem; we waited 5 minutes and off we went. Friendly driver who dropped us off at the restaurant at the top. We made two stops where we could take photos or where the driver took photos of us. He waited for us in the restaurant until we were ready to go back. Highly recommended!”
★★★★★

“Easily reachable via WhatsApp. A nice driver who drives very carefully, waits for you while you walk around, and tells you about the history and emerging tourism in Albania along the way.”
Gjirokastër was inscribed by UNESCO in 2005. Slate-roofed fortified Ottoman tower-houses from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries climb beneath a vast castle.
It is the birthplace of both Ismail Kadare and Enver Hoxha, which makes it two museums at once. A Cold War tunnel runs beneath the bazaar.

Up to eight. One car seats four, so a party of five to eight travels in two cars, each with its own driver. The price per person is the same either way, group size never changes what each seat costs.
No. Every stop on this route is reached by vehicle. If you want to walk, the driver waits, but nothing requires it.
