His knowledge, passion, and attention to detail brought the city and its history to life, turning what could have been a simple sightseeing trip into one of the standout moments of my journey. I’ll be telling everyone heading to Tirana or Kosovo to book a tour with him. Huge thanks to Enea for making this the absolute highlight of my trip!”
