Skadar Lake

Stand Up Paddle tour in Albania is the perfect combination for watersports and wildlife passionate lied on Skadar Lake and Buna River. Great way to experience wild nature life in the unexplored before areas that gave Shkodra its main values. The biodiversity with the Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida), Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus Crispus), and Water Lilly Flowers (Nyphar Lutea and Nymphaea Alba) are the rock stars of this trip that looks like a visit in the botanic park where the scenery changes every hour completely like the smartphone swipe. From the immense view of the greatest lake in the Balkans to the Ramsar strict protected area. This IBA area is a well-valued nesting area for the Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida) and a resting area for the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus Crispus) and hundreds of other birds explained by the Nature Guide during the entire trip

   I went on a day trip to Kosovo on a Go as Local tour and it was amazing! My guide, Skerdi, was super knowledgeable and really easy to talk to.... read more This tour was a great opportunity to experience Kosovo, its food, culture, history, etc. I highly recommend Go as Local because they offered exemplary service and made my trip to Kosovo as enjoyable and easy as possible!

   Great service and day. Andi and his sister showed tremendous knowledge, engagement and enthusiasm both in advance of, and during, our tour.
 
 We only had a few spare hours... read more between arriving by bus in Tirani from the north and grabbing our hire car to move on to Ohrid. With my wife being vegetarian Andi also had to adjust his normal tour. He did this superbly by combining his food / walking tour with a nice cookery class, which worked really well and enabled us to sample his family made wine at 10.00am in the morning!
 
 Very well organised, Andi met us punctually off our bus, adapted well at the last minute when I told him we had found 2 others who were keen to join the day, and made sure the whole day was adapted to us. 
 
 Tirana is never, frankly, going to be a tourist hotspot, but for those with time to spare and looking to use it interestingly in Tirana I would warmly recommend Andi. Good value and excellent service. More
