5.00We had a wonderful food and walking tour of Tirana with Florian today; the meeting instructions were clear and the hosts super friendly; we started with spinach and cheese, veal and tomato and onion byrek for breakfast. Amazingly tasty. Then a meander through the old bazaar full of clothing, but unlike many bazaars it was calm and quiet, and we weren’t pestered. Then onto the fruit market where we enjoyed fresh fruit including cherries, nectarines and apricots, followed by walnuts, cheese and olives. Then onto a restaurant at the new bazaar and had a hot food meze, then macaroon-style cookies on the move. Culminating in a sit down at a Raki bar by the Pyramid with traditional Raki in a very unique setting. Recommend this tour, and Florian, in a heartbeat. You won’t regret it. It’s a fantastic way to see the city and experience Albanian food and drink.
Great mix of food tasting...

5.00In a city you’ve never been to before you want to try the local food…experience the places that are off the beaten track & away from the tourists to taste the ‘real’ Albania. Hera was knowledgeable and talked about the history of the country and pointed out special features in Tirana while taking us on a mouth watering culinary adventure! I can’t even pronounce them all but the Byrek for breakfast was exceptional. Then trips through various markets to try fresh produce…most delicious sweet Orange - brings wipes or something to wash your hands as it gets sticky! There is a good amount of walking and stop at Tradita te Mari for veal, beef and vegetables with balsamic vinaigrette…incredible! I’d book it again…
Loved it

5.00We had a fantastic Local Food Experience & Walking Tour in Tirana. It was a great way to explore the city, learn about Albanian culture, and taste some delicious traditional foods. A special thank you to our guide, Brikena, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Tirana. She made the tour both fun and informative and showed us places we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover the real Tirana and enjoy authentic local food!
