This was a last minute decision as I was waiting on the weather and it turned out to be a perfect day. It was an easy, comfortable journey with easy border crossings. The lake is absolutely beautiful. The town of Ohrid is picturesque and superbly located on the shore. The Ottoman architecture and winding streets were so nice. I think I would return spend longer there just relaxing. It was nice to visit out of season when it was not so busy. My guide, Engjëll, was super informative and friendly - we had a great day.

First time when we have been to Albania was last year during summer and we were very excited and in the same time worried because was our first time in this country. We booked the prive tour from Tirana to Ksamil and all went perfect. I never thought i can find such professional team and water as in the MAldives in Albania. I recommend to all the people in this world to visit Ksamil and do the tour.

This was an enjoyable afternoon spent learning about traditional Albanian ingredients, dishes and how to prepare them. Sindi was a generous and kind host and teacher . Thoroughly recommend!

Very interesting and informative. Wonderful host, friendly and engaging . We had a great time and enjoyed a few glasses of wine as well . Only a short walk from the centre, all is perfect .

We enjoyed the experience of Albanian cooking , lots of butter and red wine involved. Friendly host, and lovely group we were with. Very much an enjoyable experience.

Engil was a fantastic guide. He knew the history, the politics, as well as the best places to eat and shop. And his English was perfect. Thank you for a great trip!

This was easily one of the best food tours I have ever taken. Aron, our tour guide was exceptional, knowledgeable, and taught the group and I so much about the food and the complex history of Albania. I have actually been here in Albania for the last two months, visiting museums and taking other tours. But this was a different experience altogether, and I learned far more in 4 hours that I learned in the last two months. And the food we tried was not only delicious, but had stories behind them as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It was a long but spectacular day. Our driver and guide Endri was superlative and I cannot say enough about his efforts, which included navigating some difficult driving conditions amid road construction and traffic. I highly recommend this excursion.

A great way to see the city, try local dishes and learn about the history. Xhulia was knowledgeable and funny, a great guide. An all round fab trip, would recommend.

Our experience with Go As Local on the Valbona-Theth trek was exceptional. The organization was top-notch, the guesthouses were charming, and our guide was simply the best—passionate, professional, and full of interesting insights. Every part of the tour ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the stunning nature of the Albanian Alps. Definitely a five-star experience!

Very friendly host with outstanding social and cooking skills. Felt right at home. Recipes aren't too difficult to follow and the overall atmosphere is relly pleasant. Favorite dish was the byrek, I recommend you give it a shot...

A great way to spend a day in Tirana! We had a great group from all over the place and our hostess really made it interesting, fun and delicious. And the wine was flowing! Highly recommended.

Had the best time and was so worth it! This was my first ever cooking class and the instructions were well explained. Intertwining some of the history of Albania during the class made it interesting and engaging. All dishes are easy to recreate, delicious and filling. The homemade wine was also great. Sindy was fantastic, very charismatic and accommodating. It was a lovely experience can’t recommend it enough.

The whole experience was superb! Enjoyed every minute of it! My son loved it as well, the host was amazing - Dervis you are the GOAT! Lucas made me write it - says hi by the way :) The cooking class was the Best way to experience Albania all on one table - we cooked, atelier, drink and shared stories, experiences and time flew by. Recommend it to anyone!

Amazing experience! Can’t recommend enough. She is lovely, food was amazing, and we had the most wonderful time. 10/10.
