          Christmas Day in Kosovo!
          As a veteran of the Balkan Wars with NATO, I wanted to see how Kosovo was faring. This is the trip for that and Xhuha is the guide to do it. He knows his history too! We had heavy snow that day, but it made the adventure that much better. Highly recommend— bring additional heavy boots and clothes if it’s winter, just in case.

          Day trip to the “Lake Como” of the Balkans!
          A great solo trip, where I discovered the beauty of Lake Ohrid and this city. Endri was an excellent guide. Although the trip is long, the views are stunning! Endri knows his history too! Worth every penny!

          Met new friends and had a gread self made meal
          It was just amazing. This course was not on my list. But I enjoyed it a lot. The food we cooked was soo good and we ate it afterwards in a separate room. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we could about different things. Fun fact. The two girls who were in my group, we met the next day on the top of the Gamti Mountain. It was just destiny and in case they read it, I hope to meet themmin Bristol one day. So to wrap it up. The class was amazing and I recommend it.

          Super nice cooking class! We enjoyed every bit of it. Drinks including especially a lot of good self-made red wine. Very kind instructor who helped us a lot, also to get to know the Albanian (food) culture.

          Brilliant home cookery class with Sindi 👍
          A brilliant afternoon of cooking, learning and making new friends with Sindi in her Tirana home. Sindi made everyone immediately welcome and shared her knowledge of Albanian cooking, wine, language and history throughout the class. Awesome home produced wine and raki too. Enjoyable and rewarding... best home cookery class I've done ! Thanks Sindi 😎.

          Great experience with Go as Local!
          I had an incredible experience with this transfer from Tirana to Skopje, stopping in the beautiful city of Ohrid. Traveling alone, I was impressed by how the Go as Local team customized the journey to suit my preferences, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the culture. They seamlessly adapted to my requests, providing a perfect balance of sightseeing, local insights, and cultural experiences. Ohrid was a highlight, with its breathtaking scenery and rich history, and the team ensured I had enough time to enjoy it fully. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made this journey unforgettable. Highly recommend!

          Quick but efficient 3 days tour
          We booked a private tour and it was just amazing. From the communication with the office, hotel selection and the tour guide guide! Endri, our guide was a very passionate young men who really lived his country and his job. The only suggestion, maybe a longer version as this tour is quite fast and we get to change hotel every night, but you also get to see a lot.

          A must do in Tirana! great experience :)
          An experience that you shouldn't miss if you travel to Tirana, definitely one of the best we have done so far! We enjoyed learning traditional dishes and the local culture, the food was amazing and we had a lot of fun. We were a small group of people which made the experience more personal, we had also fun talking about each other cultures and finding similarities! We truly suggest as the guide was really passionate on what she is doing and i hope her the best, probably we will do it again in the future! :)

          Just like a disney movie scene
          Started off my Albanian adventure in the north of the country with this 3 day tour. The experience was nothing but great. I got lucky to visit on autumn. The season's colors were like it was a movie scene. Everything was perfect, the guesthouse were comfortable the guide was amazing.

        This was an amazing day and well worth the money. Our guide and driver Engjell was superb. Extremely knowledgable and nothing was too much trouble. The day is a long day but don’t let that put you off we originally booked for the two of us and was given a price of €150 each bit asked if we would be willing to share the car with two other ladies. We agreed and they reduced our price to €150 each. The car was very comfortable and the price included petrol, border tax and having your guide with you all day. We had quite a few stops and Engjell was attentive throughout. The journey to Montenegro is over 3 hours but was good. Lots to see and Engjell was giving fascinating insights throughout. We went Budva and Kator. Both stunning. Engjell found us an excellent restaurant for lunch ( excellent quality and cheap) and also gave is some free time exploring. I really cannot rate this trip highly enough. The company were also excellent before we booked responding to our questions. A reminder if you go. Take Euros for Montenegro and your passport for the border crossing. We will definitely use this company again

        My family and I visited Albania for three days. We decided to do the private full-day Montenegro Budva and Kotor tour and see two countries while we were in the Balkans and we were very happy we did. The tour was great and our driver Skerdi was excellent. He is friendly, smart, and very knowledgeable. He has a passion for the Balkans and it shows. The tour takes a full day, we left Tirana at approximately 7:30 am and arrived back at our hotel at approximately 8:30 pm. Skerdi kept us on track but he was flexible with time and we never felt rushed. Budva and Kotor are amazing places to see and I recommend visiting them if one has the time. I would not hesitate to take another tour with Skerdi and the Go as Local team and I highly recommend them.

        I found the website Go As Local in google and started browsing through it.. I immediately found the whatsapp chat option and started chatting and asking about questions related to the tours and COVID19 guidelines in Albania & other neighbouring countries.
        Andi and Julio were with us during the your and they were both spectacular. They are knowledgeable, froendly, helpful and they make you feel comfortable.
        We had limited time during our Balkan escapade and wanted to make the most of it so we decided to go for a day trip in Montenegro. I recommend this trip to those whose time is not a luxury. It is a bit of a long drive however it is worth it! Saint Stefan, Budva and Kotor are amazing places one has to visit when in the area. Plus you do get breaks from sitting in the car. Andi is very flexible with both the time and the tour.
        Hopefully we get to come back to Albania and explore more of the Southern region.
        Thanks Andi, you made our holiday an unforgettable one.

        Montenegro is a beautiful country and the cities in the tour are beautiful. The main problem with the tour is that the guide seemed disinterested during the tour and did not provide enough history and details of the place. A very big issue is that some of the places in the itinerary were not visited, specifically the church in Kotor noted in itinerary. Great tour but bad tour guide.

        My recommendation if you choose this tour is to take a copy of the itinerary and have a list of questions for the guide.

        I had an incredible day trip to Budva and Kotor from Tirana! My guide Redi was fantastic—very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and engaging. The scenic drive from Tirana was comfortable and offered beautiful views.

        Budva was vibrant with its lively streets and stunning beaches. Exploring the Old Town was a highlight, with its charming alleys and historical sites. Kotor, with its breathtaking bay and medieval architecture, was equally impressive. The picturesque surroundings and rich history made it a memorable visit.

        Overall, it was a well-organized tour, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore these beautiful Montenegrin towns from Tirana. A big thank you to Redi for making the day so enjoyable!

        Tour guide : Engjell Aka " Malk"

        I loved my trip to Montenegro, the vibe of this country is more like Italian style and even reminded me of animated movie " Luca".

        The tour was smooth and so much fun i had great time with Mr. Engjel so smart, informative, funny and multilinguistic.

        I highly recommend this tour. It worth to visit and explore.

        My son and I made this trip, which took more than 13 hours from Tirana and back. It is worth the time and costs to se the Montenegrian cost from the highway. Budva was (and this was the beginning of June) full of people. Kotor is more elegant, with wider streets and more churches. Kotor is like a small Dubrovnik.
        Our guide, Skerdi, was fantastic in his skilful and careful driving and a good guide in the places were we stopped.
        I can recommend this day tour. It is a lot of car travel, but you can also se a lot of the countryside of Albania och Montenegro.

        This was our second trip with Go as Local and they do not dissappoint. We had a really great trip and time with Andi and Andri visiting Montenegro. This trip is an absolute must and our guides took real great care of us, giving us all the time we needed and making sure we were enjoying ourselves. If you find yourself in Tirana with a day to spare, this trip is worth it despite the long drive. Budva and Kotor are absolute gems in the Balcan region and a must see. Small tip, make sure to grab lunch within the city walls in old town Kotor - the atmosphere there is amazing

        Again, thanks Andi and team at Go as Local - you guys are the best 🙌

        Solo traveler! I had the best time on this trip. It was so well organised. The tour guide Engjell was fantastic he really made the trip, very informative and funny too. It is a long day but totally worth it for the beautiful sites. Engjell was very accommodating he made stops so we could get coffee, use the bathroom and stretch our legs when we needed. He took us to a nice restaurant in Budva with a variety of food for lunch, delicious. I will definitely be booking trips with them again when I return!
