Great day trip! - Xhulio was an amazing tour guide and we learned so much about the history of Kosovo and Albania. Our trip got off to a rocky start as we got a flat tire but our guide found a mechanic nearby and it was patched up and fixed within an hour! Would highly recommend this tour!

Albanian awesomeness - Drive through the valleys and mountains of Albania was excellent. Xulio the guide was passionate and knowledgeable about his country and history, and even played some Balkan pop music for me on the way home which was lovely. Prizren - great to see the comparisons of mosques and churches, eat the local cuisine and explore the Kosovo/Albanian history in the museum. Very worthwhile trip. The view from the hilltop fort was excellent also.

Great taste of Prizren - We traveled to Prizren on a day trip with Go As Local and had a great time. Andi was great to communicate with to arrange the tour, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the region so we not only got to experience a new country but learned a great deal from an expert as well - he was so passionate and full of pride about Albania and its people! The drive through the mountains was beautiful, we saw the highlights of Prizren during the afternoon - the main church, mosque, castle, old town centre, and delicious lunch at a traditional Kosovar restaurant. Would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone in Tirana who wants to get a taste of Kosovo.

Day Trip to Prizren - We had a fantastic day on our trip to Kosovo with Daniel! He was super welcoming and made the car ride enjoyable. He also had tons of information to share throughout the tour as well as suggestions for our return in Tirana. We would definitely take another tour if given the time as well as recommend the tour to others!

Great day trip - Loved our guide Daniel as he made the day quite enjoyable. The city was quite charming and loaded with history. Easy walking around town but the hike to the castle is long and steep. Daniel picked a great place for a feadt of local foods. A long day to Prizren but well worth it.
