The operator is explicit that the tastings add up to a full meal rather than a series of samples, so arrive hungry.

FAQ
Where does Food Tour Tirana start?
On the steps of the opera house on Skanderbeg Square, which is the easiest meeting point in the city to find and reach on foot from anywhere central. Reservation is required, so you cannot simply turn up at the steps and join.
How long does the tour take and how much walking is there?
About three hours, on foot throughout, crossing the centre between markets, hidden corners and local eateries. The pace is a stroll rather than a hike, but wear something comfortable and expect to be standing between stops.
Will I need dinner afterwards?
Probably not. The operator describes the tastings as generous and adding up to a full meal, with a layered lakror pie, a clay-pot tave dheu casserole, dhalle and seasonal specialities such as qofte. Come hungry and plan a light evening.
What if I have a food allergy?
Tell the operator in advance when you reserve. The stops and dishes are arranged ahead of the day, so a kitchen can accommodate a restriction if it knows, and cannot if it is told at the table.
Does the tour run in bad weather?
Yes. It goes ahead rain or shine, which the operator states plainly, so bring a jacket rather than assuming a cancellation. All ages are welcome and the guiding is in English, with other languages available if asked for at the time of booking.
