The best introduction to Tirana and Albanian food - We enjoyed the tour with Markel today. He is an excellent guide. As well as giving us an interesting introduction to Albanian history and its food, we enjoyed the conversations along the way. It was more like going for a walk with a friend than being led by a guide. We recommend this tour to all visitors to Tirana.

Morning food tour - We went on a food tour with Markel from Choose Balkan tours. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about his city and gave us detailed information on the types of food we were to taste. I would highly recommend taking this tour as you get to see the real Tirana. It was a pleasure to meet him.

Great tour - This walking food tour was just what I needed. It was only 5 of us which made it easy to have some good conversations. Our guide Markel was very knowledgeable, patient and nice!! He wasn’t rushing anyone and gave us some history about Albania as well. All the food we tried was delicious.
