Hiking in South Albania – In the footseps of Cezar & Lord Byron

  I don’t normally leave a review in TripAdvisor but I feel like I owe it to Go As Local, especially to our guide, Kevin, as they made the whole trip... read more so memorableone for the books really! They’re very professional and very friendly, which makes the whole trip enjoyable. I could not ask for a better guide. Kevin has done this trip countless times so he’s very knowledgeable of the area.

Valbona is unbelievably beautiful. The guest house we stayed in has all the amenities you could think of, considering that you’re really out in the mountains. They have wifi!!!!!!

The view of the hike itself makes you feel like you’re dreaming. Trust me, it was that good! We did this hike early/mid May so that feeling of reaching the summit after walking over snow and rocks is indescribable. Will be talking about this hike for awhile!

Theth is a quaint little village with cows grazing on the meadows, and there’s also waterfalls. But for me, the highlight was the church. It looks so good against the mountains as the backdrop.

So if ever you’re planning of doing the Valbona to Theth hike, do yourself a favour and book these guys. You won’t regret it!

  Absolutely fantastic experience. Starting from them accommodating our very last minute booking, we had only planned on doing a one day tour to Kosovo with them but couldn’t resist adding... read more other tours too! Reservations were easy to make, clear communication and efficient management of bookings. Our tour guide to Kosovo was both friendly, informative and very responsive. An immersive experience into both the history, culture and food.

  Charming city and great guide - It was our second tour with Go as local and Julio and it was great. We really enjoyed Gjirokaster and visiting the Skenduli house and hearing the stories from them... read more first hand was a true gem.
