From Tirana: Semi-Private Day Tour to Prizren
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
If you are planning a Balkan trip, Prizren is a must-see destination you should add to your bucket list. Our tour leader will come and pick you up at your hotel in Tirana in the morning. Prizren is considered as the cultural capital of Kosovo, mixing its rich history, incredible nature, religious tolerance and gastronomic delights. Prizren has played an important role in the region as an Illyrian settlement and a crossroad for the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, contributing to the unique architecture of the city. The river flows through the heart of the old town and under the many bridges that crisscross the city. The best way to explore the town is by wandering through the streets passing by elegant medieval houses that fight for your attention. Filigree artisanal techniques for precious metals are Prizren’s joy and pride.

5.00We enjoyed our trip with guide Toni/driver. He was very knowledgeable with the history of the area which was interesting. On our drive which went through scenic mountain ranges was very smooth in very good highway. He pointed out places during our drive.. He organised the sequence of visit to sights was well timed. The transport was comfortable. We would highly recommend this tour and Toni.

5.00Prizren made for a great day trip. Very interesting architecture and of course a lasting Turkish influence, similar to Mostar in Bosnia & Herzegovina. The views from the fortress in particular are worth seeing. The historical centre is very compact and I think it is suited well to a day trip rather than a longer stay, so this was ideal. Anjeza was very warm, cheeful and knowledgeable about all aspects of life, culture and history in Albania and beyond. The museum at the fortress in Prizren was initially closed, but Anjeza asked for it to be opened just for me, which was very much appreciated. I would happily recommend this trip - a good way to explore a neighbouring Balkan country when you're in Albania.

5.00The trip from Tirana to Pritzren was easy and Tony was an amazing guide. He provided us with a general history of Albania and Kosovo over the centuries. We had plenty of breaks and time to eat lunch and enjoy the town, including museums. You could walk to the castle as well if you wanted. Highly recommend and thanks so much to Tony. As an aside, Albania is an amazing place to visit and base yourself to see the others countries nearby.
Scenic, comfortable, insightful, historic

5.00I had an amazing one-day trip from Tirana to Prizren with a guide, Gjergj. He was professional, friendly, and shared fascinating insights along the way. The ride took 2 hours each way, but thanks to Gjergj, it was smooth and comfortable, with breathtaking views of northern Albania and Kosovo. Prizren was beautiful, full of history and charm. Highly recommend this trip!

5.00This tour was amazing, and our tour guide Billi was the absolute best we have had in a long time. He was so knowledgeable about Albania, Kosovo, and the entire Balkan area. He was highly professional, very friendly, and easy to talk to the entire trip. Billi made sure we were comfortable the entire time, and he provided interesting information about the places we visited. I highly recommend Choose Balkans if you are in Albania looking to see any of the Balkan countries, and I especially recommend you request Billi as your tour guide. You will not be disappointed.

5.00I used Choose Balkans for both the North Macedonia and Prizren, Kosovo tours. Juli was the guide/driver for both of these tours. Juli was excellent and provided a great overview of both locations including his personal experiences growing up and living in Albania. He kept the group on track and was flexible with our requests. Both of these tours offered beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and interesting sights. Kudos to Juli for his skilled maneuvering of the hectic Tirana traffic!
Great day trip

5.00Elton was very knowledgeable and it made for an enjoyable day. One in our group uses a cane, and he went out of his way to be accommodating, adjusting the walking and climbing to suit our needs. He gave us a great history of Albania and Kosovo, touching on many of the historical periods. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Wonderful experience end to end

5.00This was a great trip. Our driver Bailey was amazing, she gave a detailed and informative tour of Kosovo/Prizren. If you have a spare day in Tirana this trip is recommended. A really good level of physical fitness is required to make the walk to the fortress, believe me it's well worth it.
