Apollonia and Berat are both worthwhile to visit in a one day tour from Tirana. Our guide, Julio, was very knowledgeable, personable, and kind. As we walked through the archaeological park and museum at Apollonia, and the impressive castle at Berat, he provided outstanding commentary. My wife and I learned a lot. We were fortunate to have Julio as the guide on our tour the next day to Shkodra and Kruja, two other fascinating sites. Again Julio made the visit even more memorable, explaining so well the history and culture of his beautiful country.
Fantastic trip and exellent guide Xhulio.

(My trip was a solo private tour) If you're on the fence about this tour, do it! I did this one and another Butrint, Saranda, and Gjirokastra; they were both outstanding. I'm not usually one to do guided tours, but Go as Local makes them enjoyable and educational. Xhulio - my guide for both trips - was knowledgeable and easy to interact with. As we were driving, he'd answer all of my questions about the history of Albania and the figures who helped shape it. He also pointed out interesting sights along the way to our destination. Albania is a beautiful country - Go as Local helped me appreciate it more than I would have on a standard tour. When I go back, I'll tour with them again.

The linear progress of different cultures and centuries very well explained by Andy (great tour leader). The roads are good but it also helped that we had a careful driver (we had a private tour). Take time for a leisure lunch too!
Wonderful

The journey from Apollonia to Gjirokastër via Berat and Syri i Kaltër with the experienced guide Andi was impressive. But not only were the sights interesting and impressive, the traditional food should definitely be tasted. The guide is knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions about Albania. He can always help with all activities and is very flexible about the itinerary. The car is also comfortable. We would recommend taking the trips with “Go As Local”.
