Experiencing the vibrant culture of Berat after our time in Tiranë exceeded our expectations, especially with the intimate cooking class that allowed us to connect with local traditions. We loved the personalized transportation, which made the journey feel seamless, though the vehicle could have been a bit more comfortable for the long ride. Engaging with the locals and learning to prepare authentic dishes truly made this excursion memorable, despite a slightly rushed schedule in the city itself.

Our day trip from Tiranë to Berat offered a delightful mix of cultural exploration and culinary delight. The drive was scenic, and we appreciated the comfortable transport, which made the journey enjoyable. Upon arriving in Berat, we were captivated by the charming architecture and rich history, which our guide shared with enthusiasm. The cooking class was a highlight, allowing us to dive into traditional recipes and connect with local flavors, although we wished we had a bit more time to let the meal simmer. Overall, it was a memorable experience that we would recommend to anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Albanian culture.
