Berat Walking Tour with Food Tastings: UNESCO CityA 3-hour guided walking tour through Berat's UNESCO-listed Mangalem and Gorica quarters with food tastings at family-run spots, led by an English-speaking guide in groups of up to 10. You start at the 15th-century King's Mosque, cross the Gorica Bridge into the ancient Christian quarter, and finish at a legendary 3-generation bakery before joining the evening xhiro stroll on the Pedonale. Tastings include byrek and dhallë, a plate of traditional specialties like fërgesë and japrak, and a secret dessert; bottled water is provided throughout.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to eat and walk with a small group instead of a large one, and if you'd rather have a guide explain the history and the food together than wander and guess.
