Day tour of Theth and Blue Eye from Tirana

  Best trip of my life , very professional and best stuff ever .great food and beautiful locations to albania

  Andi and Mario were excellent in organising this tour on a short notice. They picked up on time, showed Berat and Durres and explained the history in a balanced manner.... read more At the end of the trip, I felt I gained two new friends.

  I found GoAsLocal on the internet and communicated with Andi about a private 8 day tour of Albania, North Macedonia and Kosovo. He set everything up for a private... read more tour at a reasonable price. Over the course of the next 8 days, I enjoyed an interesting cultural and historical tour of this part of the lower
Balkans new to me.

I would call this a "survey" trip through Tirana, Durres, Berat, Apollonia, Gjirokaster, Pogradec, Ohrid, Sklopje, Pristina, Pritren and places in between. You could easily spend a month in depth in this area. Andi was my initial guide but Skerdi was the Man for most of the trip and educated me about all of the nuances and issues in the various locations. All the accomodations were 4 star modern and conveniently located; Andi included a couple of guest houses with modern conveniences and the opportunity to speak with the hosts - and drink their raki. The food was excellent; the prices for everything were extremely modest by Western Europe standards ( won't last ) and the people friendly.

Thanks to Andi, Skerdi and the GoAsLocal crew, this trip turned out to be everything and more than I could have anticipated. I will be back. I recommend these folks without reservation.
