I booked the 7-day private tour of Albania, N. Macedonia and Kosovo. Communication was excellent as I was putting my trip together. Andi was very prompt replying back to my questions and kept in touch prior to my departure for Tirana.
On the day the tour started my driver, Engjell, was right on time picking me up from the hotel. We spent the next seven days touring the areas described in the itinerary and was not disappointed. Engjell explained the history of the places we visited and that was really important to me. I had many questions and he had many good answers. He was also a very careful driver which made me feel good.
The hotels booked for me were wonderful. Most of them, not all, were small local establishments with three or four rooms. The rooms were perfect for a solo traveler and all included breakfast. My three favorite hotels were in Shkoder, Berat and Gjirokastër. The restaurants recommended by Engjell were great.
I asked Go As Local if I could end my tour in Shkoder as I wanted to spend a few days there. No problem as they made changes to the tour to allow this. I took the local bus back to Tirana from Shkoder.
I would highly recommend touring with Go As Local. The tour and communication were great and the staff very professional. I highly recommend.
