Summary: Even though we were unable to go inside Rubik Monastery (the door was locked), this was still a superb day out. The prison was very interesting, made more so by the very informative guide. He was also happy to stop en route for me to take any photos I wished and added inofrmation about buildings we passed, as well as responding very helpfully to my general questions about Albania past and present. Private tours like this are not really within my usual budget, but this was worth the money!
