3.Half-Day Kruja Trip and Skanderbeg Museum Entry

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 41 reviews · 5 hours · from $61

Travel from central Tirana to Kruja in a small group of up to 10, with an English-speaking guide, castle and Skanderbeg Museum entry, Old Bazaar time, and a stop at Sari Salltik Tekke. Guides such as Besmiri and Bes are praised for clear, friendly explanations.

“This tour is quite disappointing to say the least. The tour guide was not engaging at all. He didn't even introduce himself (we don't know his name) and when we arrived at Krujë he barely limited himself to pointing at stuff throughout the way and giving fairly obvious explanations (this is a helmet, this is a book...). Also, Krujë Castle and the Museum themselves don't feel worth it. The museum is quite mediocre, with not a lot of authentic material and very small. The old bazar is a small collection of souvenir shops all selling the same things. Overall, 2 hours total in the car from Tirana (there and back)…”
