Fantastic tour - We had a great food and culture tour with Hera. We saw lots of the city that we would have missed without her guidance. Tried lots of lovely local foods, some of which we have gone back for more! Extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city, we learned lots of fascinating things about the buildings and how much Tirana has changed over time Highly recommend!

Solo Trip in Tirana- A must! - I was on a solo trip in Tirana, and could not recommend this tour enough. I traveled during the off season, so it ended up being a smaller group of 3-4. Our guide Markel was knowledgable, personable, and funny. We got to try some great local foods, and our guide pointed out some additional historical facts, as well as suggestions for more food places to try on our own. It was a nice afternoon, and great as a solo traveler to connect with others in a new city.

Great way to learn about Tirana! - Markel was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable about the history of the country as well as the foods and also spoke perfect english. I loved visiting the local markets and trying so many new Albanian foods. I enjoyed every food we tried and there was a nice variety. The Raki at the end was in a very cute bar/coffee shop. I would absolutely recommend this tour with Markel. Great value for the money!

Fun walking tour and food tour - I really enjoyed the local food and walking tour. Our guide Brikena took us to some wonderful local businesses that we never could have discovered on our own. She was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot on the tour. Highly recommend!

Delightful, insightful, tasty. - Even though it rained throughout, this tour with Brikena was a delight. I believe that food is a window into a culture and with Brikena’s insight and personal stories of her grandmother and mothers cooking, this proved to be correct in Tirana. A really educational and tasty tour. Highly recommend.
