5.00Semin was a very knowledgeable tour guide of both his hometown - Prizren and his country - Kosovo, we were very glad and satisfied to have him as our private tour guide as he showed and explained to us each sight and attractions of Old Prizren and we had a great understanding of all of it. We also took his recommendation of including the Gracanica Monastery and we didn't regret it. He was also kind and nice to us to show us the best place to eat and we are grateful for his kind hospitality. I highly recommend you to take a private tour with him.
