Day Tours

  We booked a tour with Go as Local to go to Ohri. It was really good and our guide Xhulio made it wonderful,so helpful and a joy to be for... read more the whole day. It was so much fun and was what we needed!

  We were a couple travelling to Albania for the first time, not knowing what to expect. We got to experience so much in the duration of this tour, that it... read more seems almost unreal. We have been to the mountain villages of Valbona and Theft, connected by an amazing hike in which you get to see the stunning scenery that Albania has to offer. You get to witness the diverse nature, from the rocky landscape to lush forests. Furthermore you also get to experience the nature from the water side, which was quite interesting. Just remember to bring plenty of sun cream and a sun hat :)
We also got to taste traditional Albanian food, as well as meditarrian food and cold beverages.

Andi was our guide and he has done his home work, that’s for sure. He is a very pleasant guy that makes you feel welcome and included in all the activities on this tour. He is passionate about Albanian history and you will have plenty of interesting conversations with this guy. All the planning from the pick-up in Tirana until our drop-off in Shkodër (after the stand upp paddling we stayed here, instead of going back to Tirana) was kept on schedule. So all in all you can expect a very versatile tour which is well organized and fun to attend.
Lastly, there is a great balance between activity and free time which means that you also get enough time to recharge after a day of action!

  You cannot get a better tour in Albania than this one nor a better guide than Goaslocal and Andi. Informative, flexible, friendly and helpful he also helped me a lot... read more by getting me through what is a slightly arduous trek on day 2 - especially for those of us with a fear of heights or ridge walks.
The scenery is as good as it gets anywhere I’ve travelled worldwide - and I’ve done a lot - the food is good and healthy, accommodation is good considering the remote locations with showers and even WiFi to post some pics online.
Andi was sufficiently flexible to pick me up and drop me at my location rather than a pre defined location and to assist me in many ways that were above and beyond the normal expectations for these types of tours answering many questions about future travel plans and costs in Albania and beyond. Cannot recommend this tour more highly but day two does require fitness and will be stressful in a couple of small parts if you are scared of heights so do be fully up front when booking.
