- engrlberts0 contributionsMet new friends and had a gread self made mealIt was just amazing. This course was not on my list. But I enjoyed it a lot. The food we cooked was soo good and we ate it afterwards in a separate room. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we could about different things. Fun fact. The two girls who were in my group, we met the next day on the top of the Gamti Mountain. It was just destiny and in case they read it, I hope to meet themmin Bristol one day. So to wrap it up. The class was amazing and I recommend it.Written 26 December 2024

- TiagoM5300 contributionsGreat experience with Go as Local!I had an incredible experience with this transfer from Tirana to Skopje, stopping in the beautiful city of Ohrid. Traveling alone, I was impressed by how the Go as Local team customized the journey to suit my preferences, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the culture. They seamlessly adapted to my requests, providing a perfect balance of sightseeing, local insights, and cultural experiences. Ohrid was a highlight, with its breathtaking scenery and rich history, and the team ensured I had enough time to enjoy it fully. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made this journey unforgettable. Highly recommend!Written 26 November 2024
- Zini M0 contributionsQuick but efficient 3 days tourWe booked a private tour and it was just amazing. From the communication with the office, hotel selection and the tour guide guide! Endri, our guide was a very passionate young men who really lived his country and his job. The only suggestion, maybe a longer version as this tour is quite fast and we get to change hotel every night, but you also get to see a lot.Written 26 November 2024
- stefanoaC237QB0 contributionsA must do in Tirana! great experience :)An experience that you shouldn't miss if you travel to Tirana, definitely one of the best we have done so far! We enjoyed learning traditional dishes and the local culture, the food was amazing and we had a lot of fun. We were a small group of people which made the experience more personal, we had also fun talking about each other cultures and finding similarities! We truly suggest as the guide was really passionate on what she is doing and i hope her the best, probably we will do it again in the future! :)Written 19 November 2024

Amazing tour, especially because of the people and the views. The people in the group were amazing, and I think this is always the case. And man, the two tour guides, Daniel and Redi: so much fun, responsibility, knowledge about history and nature,... I only wished there would have been a little bit more hiking instead of city sightseeing

We had initially considered doing the tour on our own but then decided to go with goaslocal. The 6-day tour was very well organized and the accommodation far exceeded our expectations. There was more than enough to eat and the local dishes were always very tasty. Daniel our guide led us safely through the mountains and enriched our hike with his experience and knowledge. Our group consisted of 6 people and we had a very good time together.

The 6-days Peaks of the Balkans trek with goaslocal has been an great experience! Everyone in the group was lovely, the hikes were beautiful and it was all very well organised. From the individual hotel pickup to the very comfortable accommodation and the delicious and abundant meals, everything was great. Daniel our guide led us safely through the mountains and would patiently share his knowledge about the country and its people with us, which was very interesting. Thank you!

Me and my husband went with this tour agency to go on a hiking trip in the Albanian Alps. Andi and his team made us feel very welcome at all times. All of the staff spoke very good English and we learnt a lot about the countries history and customs. Andi introduced us to amazing local restaurants serving traditional Albanian food. The hiking trip itself was very well organized, the accomodations were clean and the owners would treat us like their family. All in all we were absolutely delighted with the services provided and highly recommend to book a trip with Goaslocal! We would have never been able to experience the country as we did with Andi and his crew. Thanks again for helping us making this trip memorable.

Me and my friends did the peaks of balkans last month and it was a wonderful experience. Another friend of mine recomanded this route to me and we were relly excited. The guide was very knowledgeable and the hike was not hard. You could enjoy the mountains without being out of breath and tired 😄 amazing experience and I highly recomend if you are also thinking to do this route 💯

Was ist der Unterschied von der 8-Tages-Tour im Vergleich zur 6-Tages-Tour? Ich finde keine Detail-Beschreibung für die kürzere Variante.
