This was an unexpected... - This was an unexpected highlight of our trip. We had the pleasure of walking with our guide Marsi to the Raki tasting venue, she provided a lot of great insight and information into Tirana. She was also the host during the tasting. The tasting was also very fun the venue was beautiful.

It was really worth it! - Such a cool way to spend an evening. The guy running it was super chill, and we learned a lot without it feeling like a 'tour'. Some of the rakis were strong enough to knock your socks off, but that was part of the fun.

More than i expected - Honesty didn't know what to expect. Thought it would be more like a bar thing, but it was in this cozy local place and felt really authentic. I liked that it wasn't rushed - just good company, good raki, and some laughs.

One of the highlights of our trip! - We loved the whole experience-especially Mira, our guide, who made it feel like we were hanging out with a friend. The raki was surprisingly smooth ( and strong ), and everything was paired so thoughtfully. The sausage, the fresh byrek, and that creamy tavë dheu...absolutely delicious! Loved hearing the stories behind each raki-felt like a cultural journey, not just a tasting.

I enjoyed the Raki, food and overall - It was an experience I enjoyed. Nice drinks with different taste from what I am used, my top favorate was the " Burned raki " but the rest were pretty good, apparently there are many ways that Albanians do their Raki. Thank!
