Great for solo and groups, better than I could have expected - Had the best time and was so worth it! This was my first ever cooking class and the instructions were well explained. Intertwining some of the history of Albania during the class made it interesting and engaging. All dishes are easy to recreate, delicious and filling. The homemade wine was also great. Sindy was fantastic, very charismatic and accommodating. It was a lovely experience can’t recommend it enough.

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
