A tour that combines wine tasting, olive oil, local products from Albanian Gastronomy, and amazing nature in a great day to be remembered.

   We had a really wonderful day. The city of Prizren is really amazing and the tour guide a professional one. I also liked the fact that we could customize the... read more route and we profited from it.

   My husband and I wanted to visit another country while we were visiting Albania and came across this tour to Kosovo. This was a private tour with us and two... read more guides (Andi and Skerdi). From start to finish I cannot fault this tour. Andi's knowledge about literally everything is unbelievable and Skerdi's amazing driving skills were second to none. We were picked up on time as previously arranged and due to it being a private tour, we had a part in choosing where to visit and how much time to spend at each location. By the end of the day we felt as though we had known Andi and Skerdi for years. They were so relaxed and welcoming and we genuinely laughed so much our bellies hurt. We contemplated renting a car and doing this on our own but we are so glad we went with the tour instead. I think I would have had a panic attack driving myself, however Skerdi was amazing. Everywhere we went Andi could translate for us (most people speak English but it's still nice to have someome who knows the language). Prizren is absolutely gorgeous (extremely cold in January by the way) and I think we would definitely go back to visit there again. Pristina wasn't as quaint as Prizren but I'm still glad we went there to see all the history there. Things to note.... Make sure you bring your passport for border control, and some Euros for when you are in Kosovo. We never had euros but managed to get some from ATM easily enough. If you do a bit of research before hand and there is anywhere in particular you want to see, Andi will do his best to get you there (time permitting)... Otherwise he will mostly stick to main highlights. We had an interest in particular things so our conversations and facts pointed out to us revolved around that. (I love churches and my husband loves learning about the history of the wars and independence). Unfortunately the bears were hibernating at the Bear Sanctuary (how rude haha) which we really wanted to see although it's not officially on the tour. I would highly recommend a restaurant in Prizren called Beska if you can hold off til then to eat. The food was absolutely delicious (a massive platter of meats, salads and breads which we all shared). Genuinely loved this tour and my husband and I will remember this day for many years to come. A massive thank you to Andi and Skerdi for sharing their day with us and being the best hosts ever!! 🙂

   We have nothing but good things to say about our tour with this company.  We travelled with Skerdi and had a really wonderful day out!
 
 The tour was... read more interesting and informative, Skerdi was an excellent guide and we had a lot of fun.   He was full of interesting information, he was more than happy to share his own personal insights of life in Albania / Kosovo while also making the tour especially enjoyable with his humour and wit! 
 
 Skerdi doubled up as our own personal food guide, giving us some excellent recommendations for which local dishes to try! 
 
 Highly recommend!
