Do I recommend this tour? Yes, I Du-rrës! - All the logistics with Go as Local were fine - initial communication by email, later by WhatsApp in Albania, hotel pickup, driving and drop-off. The guide Xhulio was very friendly, informative and accommodating throughout the day. As for the places themselves, I found the walk around the castle of Berat very pleasant, with nice views below, an opportunity for a selfie with Constantine, and an interesting stop at the iconography museum. It was nice to get in touch with Roman history at Dyrrachium / Durrës too, with the amphitheatre, its little bit of mosaics and a short walk to the sea.

Berat is cool - Our guide was great - 5 stars! Berat was really neat and our guide, Aleksander, went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and suggested a wonderful place for lunch with a perfect view and helped us with suggestions for traditional cuisine. Durres doesn’t really have much going for it honestly, could’ve skipped that part and been totally satisfied.

Fantastic experience! - Fantastic experience with a fantastic tour company! When I visited Durrës on my own a couple of years ago I didn’t like it that much. But because of Go As Local I have started to like it! That’s what a good tour company can do! Berat I visited for the first time and that city was just insanely beautiful! An absolute must-visit! Perfect tour!! - Luke Travel influencer @lukepatrickh on Instagram

Berat with Aron. - The tour was exceptional. Aron was a wonderful guide-he picked us up right on time at the agreed upon location. He’s knowledgeable about cultural and historical matters and explained the development of Albania over the years, The ride to Berat was paused for a lakeside coffee and throughout the trip Aron offered commentary about the areas we were viewing. The castle in Berat was incredibly interesting and we enjoyed our lunch in the town. The pace of the tour was excellent. Clearly, a 5 Star experience.

The best ending with some local wine - As our last day in Tirana , Andi suggested a day tour of Berat. We could not end our trip in a better way. Berat was great and Alpeta winery was a great choice for lunch and local wine.
