Marieta - what a hoot! - The highlight of the experience was Marieta – she was definitely a character: joyful, cheeky, and so much fun! We were welcomed by a friendly translator who stayed with us throughout, which added to the experience. They answered all of our questions, and additional dishes accompanied what we made.

Amazing experience! - This cooking class was great! We didn’t end up going to the originally planned class, but did a class at “friends’ hostel”. The communication with the tour company was great and he even drove us to the new location (since the class was changed). We had a great time and the food was amazing! But the best part was the hospitality of the people there. We were welcomed as family and even had the dinner with the family and learned a lot about food and the community. 10/10 would recommend!

Loved it - We booked the vegeterian cooking class and Teta Marjeta was incredible and funny even without speaking english. There was an english translator with us who explained everything. The cooking class was very informative, the dishes we learned are an integral part of Gjirokaster history. Also the dinner setup was so cute :) Much recommended.

Amazing experience for a surprise trip with a friend - I organized a surprise trip to Albania to my best friend and also this experience was a surprise to her. I thought it was a great idea of us to connect with local culture and learn something we can both bring home. Marieta was such a nice lady, she made us feel super comfortable. Also having a translator was something interesting! I highly recommend and I’m sure I would do it again!

Perfect! - This cooking class was a 10/10! I was alone during this class, which surely made the experience even more personal. Marjeta is very friendly, as well as Klarissa, who was there to translate my English and the Albanian of Marjeta. I learned a lot, and I came out very satisfied with this experience, with a good dinner, leftovers, and nice pictures taken by Klarissa. I completely recommend this unique experience in Gjirokaster.

Cooking amazing local food with Marijeta! - This was one of the best parts of our 2-week trip in the Balkans! The host, Marijeta is talented and charismatic. Our translator was a brilliant and funny high school student who was very skilled at translating and being in conversation. We do cooking classes in every place we visit and this one was less hands-on than others we’ve done but incredible food and a great vibe overall.

Learning to cook - Usually I am a good eater,thats way my friends suggested me to try a cooking class so I can start to cook and not asl them to cook for me. It was a great expierence, i learned and took the menus written on paper with me. The view from the house was great and you could take a real flavor of Albanian womans, the way they behave and take care for the family. Highly suggested experience.

Cooking class - This experience feels more like a cooking demonstration than a hands on cooking class. It would be better if each person or group of 2 had their own cooking station rather than one cooking station for everyone.
