    We booked the vegeterian cooking class and Teta Marjeta was incredible and funny even without speaking english. There was an english translator with us who explained everything. The cooking class was very informative, the dishes we learned are an integral part of Gjirokaster history. Also the dinner setup was so cute :) Much recommended.

    Marieta - what a hoot!

    Leconte_L, Nov 2024
    The highlight of the experience was Marieta – she was definitely a character: joyful, cheeky, and so much fun! We were welcomed by a friendly translator who stayed with us throughout, which added to the experience. They answered all of our questions, and additional dishes accompanied what we made.

We're also glad the presence of our translator made you feel even more welcome and supported throughout. It's always a pleasure to go beyond the recipe and share a full taste of Albanian hospitality. We hope to see you again for more fun and delicious moments! Warm wishes, The Experience Gjirokastra Team

    Amazing experience for a surprise trip with a friend

    Carolina_G, Sep 2023
    I organized a surprise trip to Albania to my best friend and also this experience was a surprise to her. I thought it was a great idea of us to connect with local culture and learn something we can both bring home. Marieta was such a nice lady, she made us feel super comfortable. Also having a translator was something interesting! I highly recommend and I’m sure I would do it again!

Marieta and our translator are indeed invaluable members of our team, and we're thrilled they made your journey comfortable and engaging. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure in the future! 🌍🎉

    Perfect!

    This cooking class was a 10/10! I was alone during this class, which surely made the experience even more personal. Marjeta is very friendly, as well as Klarissa, who was there to translate my English and the Albanian of Marjeta. I learned a lot, and I came out very satisfied with this experience, with a good dinner, leftovers, and nice pictures taken by Klarissa. I completely recommend this unique experience in Gjirokaster.

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

Learning a lot, having a delicious dinner, leftovers, and great photos to remember it all by – it sounds like a fantastic day! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for more unique experiences in Gjirokaster.
