“I loved the bar crawl.. Bianka, the host and her counter part were really friendly and interacted with everyone jovially. They set up the crawl in such a way that the first bar we were all able to interact and play some drinking game .. by the end of the night it felt like we've all known each other for ages! And the hosts made sure everyone was okay at every stage..

Tirana: Guided Craft Beer Tasting with Local Bites

5.Guided Craft Beer Tasting with Local Bites

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6 reviews · 2 hours 40 minutes (approx.) · from $53

Meet near Tirana’s Pyramid for an English-guided tasting of five Albanian craft beers paired with sausages, pulled pork, glyco, and other local bites. Your guide shares brewing stories and Albanian food traditions. The experience lasts about 2 hours 40 minutes, with a maximum of 30 people.

“A couple things here, we had a wonderful guide who got paired up with us last minute and she was so enthusiastic, she made this tour. Next, I don't think this tour is as advertised. Yea you go sample beer at one place, that's it. It's not quite what was put on Viator. You could simply do this by looking up the craft beer place on Google Maps. You only go to one place, you get a flight of beer and the poor guide couldn't really tell us much about the beers and the history of the microbrewery because like I said she got put on the tour last minute.…”
