A week along the Balkans We returned to Albania after some years, and this time we decided to explore a little more, and this tour was the perfect combination. In a short time, we traveled to 5 different countries. Some people may say is a lot, but it was perfect for our style of traveling. We took a private tour to make it more personalised, but we also had the chance to have one more fellow traveler for a better price. The places were not busy, and in each location the atmosphere was great. The hotels were all carefully selected, and we really liked the one in Bosnia. The communication with Go as Local during the booking was very easy, and they can facilitate the entire process by online payment, something not very common in Albania. Last but not least, our guide Endri. He was a blast! Friendly, knowledgeable, easygoing, and an excellent driver, he was more than we could ask for in this kind of tour.

Five hours of a great time. The group was so much fun. Everyone was warm and friendly. Lots of laughs and delicious food. Sindi was amazing. She worked very hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. I'll be adding these recipes to my repertoire.

We did an ncredible tour of Montenegro and Bosnia with go as local, and had a great time! The itinerary was perfect, stunning Kotor Bay, the dramatic mountains, historic Mostar, and so many hidden gems we would never have found on our own. Our guide Engjell was the highlight: incredibly knowledgeable, funny, patient, and genuinely passionate about the region. He shared great stories, recommended the best local food spots, and made the whole group feel like old friends. Everything ran smoothly, and it felt authentic rather than touristy. Couldn’t recommend go as local (and Engjell!) more highly. If you’re thinking of visiting the Balkans, book with them you won’t regret it. Absolute 5 stars!

Our 7 Day Tour of Albania got us from Tirana to the Albanian alps with Theth and down to the coast in Saranda. A well crafted tour with balanced driving and activities. Albania is definitely worth a full visit as alps, coast, history and culture mix very well and cant be missed.

Just got back from the most incredible trip ever and I have to say a massive thank you to Riserd and our guide Engjell! They planned the perfect route for us: Dubrovnik, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Thessaloniki, and honestly every single day was better than the last. The itinerary flowed so smoothly, nothing felt rushed, and we got to see all the hidden spots you’d never find on your own. Engjell was an absolute legend, super knowledgeable, funny, patient, and just made the whole trip feel like traveling with a friend who knows everything about the Balkans. He took care of every little detail so we could just relax and enjoy. If you’re thinking about doing this route (or anything in the region), go with these guys. 100% worth it. Already missing the cevapi, rakija, and those insane views over Kotor!

Amazing experience with Go As Local in our 4 Country Balkan Tour. Albania had a lot to offer from history to amazing costal sights and more. We also visited Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro, a pefect mix between history and sightseeing. The whole process went smoothly from the moment of booking until the finish. Very good accomodations for each night as well. A very big thank you to the guide who shared a lot about the history of each country and we had amazing converstaions along the trip. I will definitely chose this agency again for the rest of my Balkan trips.

Our experience with Go as Local - Tour Operator Albania was disappointing. The itinerary felt rushed, and several activities didn’t match what was originally described. Communication with the team was slow, which made planning stressful. Our guide was polite but seemed unprepared and didn’t provide much insight about the locations. Transportation was also less comfortable than expected. Overall, I felt the service didn’t justify the cost, and the tour lacked the professionalism I was hoping for.

Hello (Josepe),

After a thorough check of our booking records, we can confirm that no guest with your name (or any similar name) has ever traveled with us.

Your review contains zero specific details—no travel date, no destination, no guide name, no activity—only vague complaints and even the agency name appears to be copy-pasted from our Google title. These are clear indicators of a fake review.

Our genuine guests always leave detailed and specific feedback (positive or negative), and we’re proud of the consistent amazing experiences they describe.

If you did actually travel with us, please share your booking reference and we will gladly look into any issue. If not, we kindly ask you to remove this misleading review, as it does not reflect any real experience with our company.

Don’ hesitate to book up for this cooking class! The cooking class was a great experience, highly recommended. Some people are nice by profession, other are generous by nature. Our chef teacher Sindi is by far on those. Knowledgeable, sharing, structured - she took oss through some basics of Albanian dishes, with wine and raki made by her father in the homestead. It became a great meal. We are looking forward for her cookbook!
