Highlights of south Albania

5.00Even in the brutal heat, this small group tour allowed me to explore the highlights of Albania comfortably and efficiently. Our guide Erjon, with abundant knowledge and safety drive, always took care to meet our requirements. I definitely recommend this tour (especially to time-poor but greedy travelers).

5.00My girlfriend and I really wanted to take a break and enjoy a nice trip so we contacted Go As Local and decided to go to Albania. I can say this was a perfect decision and we enjoyed it to the maximum. Everything was great starting with the view, the tour guide, the price and everything you can imagine. Definitely recommended

5.00This trip was definitely one for the books! Skerdi was well equipped as he shared lots of interesting information, transporting us back in time as we roamed around the mesmerizing Butrint and Gjirokaster. Saranda in also very beautiful, surrounded by glistening seas and I enjoyed chasing the breathtaking sunset with Skerdi and my cousin. Everything went really smooth and we thank Goaslocal for giving us a beautiful experience to remember. :)

5.00Andi was amazing to say the least. He was on time, spoke fluent english, and gave as all the historical background on the place and the history behind it all. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and enjoy the journey. I highly recommend any person visiting albania to have this trip. أخذنا الرحلة هذي مع أندي. ملتزم بالوقت، يتكلم انجليزي بطلاقة ومتمكن جداً من التاريخ الأثري للمنطقة. بالرغم انها رحلة طويلة نوعاً ما، الا انها كانت ممتعة جداً. أنصح اي سائح قادم لألبانيا بالرحلة هذي.
Highly recommended!

4.00The tour is long, but worth it. The archaeological site Butrint is a must-see. The beach of Ksamil is beautiful and unforgettable, Saranda and Gjirokaster (UNESCO Heritage) are the other attractions. The guide and the driver are very attentive and cordial. Safe travel with important information from Albania. I recommend!
