Travelling solo can be fun

5.00Amazing experience! Visiting Korca and Pogradec for the first time was so lovely. Travelling solo is not always easy but Andi made it a great experience. The locals were also the nicest and food was so delicious! One of the things i love is when i get to hear history and see new places, meet new friends and gain new experiences.
Couldn't ask for more!

5.00Recently i had the amazing opportunity to travel with Go As Local. I had the first approach with Andi, who was kind and patient with all our questions and enquiries. He got us a wonderful tour guide named Enea. Throughout the journey he explained how things in Albania work and we got to know people. I've been wanting to visit Albania since last year and finally got the chance to meet albanian people and visit Korcha and Pogradec. All thanks to Go As Local Team for making sure every detail of my travelling experience is going smooth!
A lovely day around Albania

5.00Our guide Andy was very insightful and showed us the sites and explained the history and background of each places we visited. I definitely enjoyed seeing Pogradec and Ohrid and the Lin Peninsula. He took care of us and went beyond the service. I highly recommend it as this day trip is not too popular for tourists
