A walk from the meeting point to the venue where you get to know the pub and restaurant district. Tasting local beers with snacks. Very good to get in the mood for an evening out. Very nice guide and cool location.
I really liked the beer and the food was amazing. The flavors were pretty new to me and I enjoyed them . Gerhard was an excelent guide and story teller!
Easy location from where we were staying, and easy to find meeting point. The bar was welcoming and clean. Our guide , Arid , was fantastic. Kind and friendly. There was just my friend,Arid and myself. The evening didn't feel awkward. The conversation flowed well. He is a very knowledgeable young man. And interesting. Perfect English. Perfect manners.
Hi Susan , we are really glad you enjoyed your tasting. Thank you for the nice review.. cheers!
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. I would definitely take a tour with the guide again, but not this one.
Small group atmosphere, guilds were very knowledable and friendly. Learned a lot about Albanian beer culture and how it is growing as well as a lot of the history of Albania.
Good beer, interesting flavors. The personal mix plate was tasty and just the right size. Enjoyed it so much. I highly recommend it.
We are glad you liked it ! Now we are doing our beer tasting in a different way and if you liked the experience I guarantee you will love the new tasting and tour ! Thank you for the nice review !
Our host Serena was very nice. The craft beers were of a good variety, and the food was just what we needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting something a little different
