Hiking at Korabi Mountain Peak in a 2 Days Tour from Tirana

  I can’t say enough good things about Andi and Go as Local. I took the day trip to Prizren from Tirana. I have taken tours all over the world and... read more Andi/Go as Local hits everything you’re looking for in a guide/company:
-excellent communication while setting up the tour
-prompt arrival
-easygoing conversation
-highly knowledgeable about Albania, Kosovo, and the Balkans; enthusiastic about history; and insightful about the future of Albania
-tour was in clear, excellent English
-very clean, safe car and safe driving on the tour (there was both a guide and a driver which made the whole experience more relaxed)
-Prizren is lovely town with beautiful views and an interesting religious and political history

What really made the tour enjoyable was Andi’s small considerations - I was recovering from a broken ankle and there was a long, steep incline to the castle. Andi matched my slower pace, stopping along the way to point out sights and history. Passports aren’t generally stamped at the border but he asked if I’d like him to request a stamp as souvenir. He easily accommodated my request to stop by a post office. Knowing I had been to Kruje and Berat with another company that didn’t supply much information, he seamlessly added information about both cities into the Prizren tour, as much of the Balkans’ history is linked.

I highly recommend the Prizren tour, Go as Local in general, and Andi in particular. A highly professional company which made every aspect of the trip enjoyable.

  We had so much fun riding the buggies around the hilly terrain .It felt very safe because there were two guys following us through the whole pass and one... read more of them was a mechanic ready for every emergency. Our guide Skerdi was very kind and...More

  I don’t normally leave a review in TripAdvisor but I feel like I owe it to Go As Local, especially to our guide, Kevin, as they made the whole trip... read more so memorableone for the books really! They’re very professional and very friendly, which makes the whole trip enjoyable. I could not ask for a better guide. Kevin has done this trip countless times so he’s very knowledgeable of the area.

Valbona is unbelievably beautiful. The guest house we stayed in has all the amenities you could think of, considering that you’re really out in the mountains. They have wifi!!!!!!

The view of the hike itself makes you feel like you’re dreaming. Trust me, it was that good! We did this hike early/mid May so that feeling of reaching the summit after walking over snow and rocks is indescribable. Will be talking about this hike for awhile!

Theth is a quaint little village with cows grazing on the meadows, and there’s also waterfalls. But for me, the highlight was the church. It looks so good against the mountains as the backdrop.

So if ever you’re planning of doing the Valbona to Theth hike, do yourself a favour and book these guys. You won’t regret it!
