Description
Good to Know
Discover the real Berat on your Guided Walking Tour with Food Tastings by Visit Albania Tour Operator (VATO)—a delicious 3-hour immersion into the UNESCO “City of a Thousand Windows.”
Meet your guide near the stunning 15th-century King’s Mosque, admire its architecture and enter if open (scarves provided). Explore the historic Porta e Pashait gate and remnants of the Pasha’s grand palace. Start with warm, flaky byrek and refreshing dhallë at a local byrektore.
Cross the iconic Gorica Bridge into the ancient Christian quarter, then savor Berat’s soul food: savory fërgesë (peppers, tomatoes, curd cheese), japrak (stuffed vine leaves), seasonal dishes, espresso & water.
Finish at a legendary 3-generation bakery with the famous Monblan, bakllava or revani, then join locals for the evening xhiro stroll on the Pedonale.
Small group (max 10), expert English guide, generous tastings, insider stories of Ottoman history and daily life.
Taste Berat like a local—book now, spots fill fast!

Gorica Bridge
Originally constructed as a wooden bridge around 1780 (some sources cite 1777–1778) during the rule of local Ottoman governor Ahmet Kurt Pasha, who shaped much of Berat's Ottoman architecture.
The wooden structure was vulnerable to floods from the Osum River, so it was rebuilt in durable stone in the 1920s (or early 1930s according to some accounts).
It has been renovated several times, including in 2015 by the Municipality of Berat, and underwent restoration work around 2020–2025 to preserve it as a cultural monument.
Local folklore includes legends about the bridge, such as a sacrificial story tied to its construction (a girl allegedly walled in to appease protective spirits), though these are oral traditions common to many old Balkan bridges.

Friendly guide with a lot of knowledge about Berat, recommended!
We were lucky enough to get a private tour. Our guide managed to tell us a lot about Berat, there was plenty of time to ask questions. The lunch was spacious enough for 2 people and the desert is worth repeating. Recommended!

Really great guide. Gaixbo has such passion for history and for Berat. My head hurts from all the new knowledge, but in a good way 😊. The walk was also on a good level, calm and with great food and really great local wines from a small local winery.
