Things to do in Tirana - Thanks to Sindi, I had a great afternoon, and I learned how to cook a great Albanian dish. I highly recommend this activity. Sindi is very professional, she has perfect English and her instructions are clear. She explained us a lot about Albanian culture and she is a kind ❤️ Albanian wine was really excellent French word! Delicious dishes and plenty we even took away... Thank you for everything. Farida from Paris

Met new friends and had a gread self made meal - It was just amazing. This course was not on my list. But I enjoyed it a lot. The food we cooked was soo good and we ate it afterwards in a separate room. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we could about different things. Fun fact. The two girls who were in my group, we met the next day on the top of the Gamti Mountain. It was just destiny and in case they read it, I hope to meet themmin Bristol one day. So to wrap it up. The class was amazing and I recommend it.

Brilliant home cookery class with Sindi 👍 - A brilliant afternoon of cooking, learning and making new friends with Sindi in her Tirana home. Sindi made everyone immediately welcome and shared her knowledge of Albanian cooking, wine, language and history throughout the class. Awesome home produced wine and raki too. Enjoyable and rewarding... best home cookery class I've done ! Thanks Sindi 😎.

A must do in Tirana! great experience :) - An experience that you shouldn't miss if you travel to Tirana, definitely one of the best we have done so far! We enjoyed learning traditional dishes and the local culture, the food was amazing and we had a lot of fun. We were a small group of people which made the experience more personal, we had also fun talking about each other cultures and finding similarities! We truly suggest as the guide was really passionate on what she is doing and i hope her the best, probably we will do it again in the future! :)

Delicious food and a fantastic Albanian experience! - It was great to have Sindi’s expert advice when making each dish. It will help us to be successful in cooking the dishes at home. There was a convivial atmosphere and a spirit of generosity over the entire afternoon. It was lovely to meet Sindi and the other participants and to join everyone in conversation.
