Amazing experience, perfect for beginners - Amazing experience, Nina showed us how to make 3 popular albanian dishes, the recipes were very simple so this was perfect for a beginner, and we got to eat everything afterwards with a bit of wine. Everything was delicious. Nina and the guide, Mihail, are some of the nicest people we have met in Albania. 10/10

Cozy and good cooking class! - Had a great cooking lesson! We were confused at first because we thought we had a cooking class in Castle Park but this was even more fun! Very nice area and Nina and Mikel were so nice and cozy. The recipes are also very easy to copy. Super experience!

Delicious and fun experience - Lovely day cooking in Berat. We made all the traditional dishes and truly they all tasting amazing. Nina was lovely and her friend that helped translate was really an incredible and interesting person. We enjoyed learning to cook the recipes , enjoying a delicious meal and even the sweet treat she gave us at the end of the meal. Only recommendation for improvement would be to include one of the recipes as like a parting gift so we can attempt to make it again! Thank you for a lovely time

Beautiful in every way. - This was a beautiful experience. Of course , Mama Nina is delightful. She had a neighbor who interpreted very well. The shared cooking and coaching were quite fun. The French couple we shared the experience with were very engaging. We were given a ride to and form Mama Nina’s in the castle in Berat. Wonderful travel experience!
