The 2 Dining Experiences in Albania That Earn Their Price

1.Local food experience & walking tour of Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 192 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $60Our pick

Spend 3 to 4 hours walking Tirana with a local companion such as Markel, Brikena, or Genti. Taste byrek, seasonal produce, cheese, olive oil, honey, dessert, a traditional meal, and grape raki while visiting Çam Bazaar, Rruga Qemal Stafa, and Pazari i Ri.

“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.”
