Lets discover story of recent history of Kosovo, by visiting main historical sites, starting by medieval monuments, Mitrovica city and end the tour at the biggest memorial of 1998-1999 war in Prekaz.
Mitrovica, situated in the North of Kosovo, is the town that was badly affected by the 1999 Kosovo War. Following several ethnic tensions, in 2013, the city is officially divided in Mitrovica South (with Kosovo Albanian Majority) and North (with Kosovo Serbian majority), separated by river Ibri (Ibar), becoming a symbol of Kosovo's ethnic divisions - but yet, an interesting place to visit and see. The city is famous for its mine called Trepça, rich in lead, zinc, silver, gold, crystals etc. , which has historically been one of Kosovo largest industries. It is the only city in Kosovo that has four rivers: Ibri, Sitnica, Lushta and Trepça. Traces of the city dates back to the Neolithic time, as many exhibit archeological exhibit pieces were found in archeological sites.

5.00The 4-day Nile cruise offered a perfect combination of ancient history and modern luxury. Our guide was an expert in Egyptian history, making every temple visit even more fascinating. The Hot Air Balloon ride over Luxor was a truly unique experience, and the cruise ship was luxurious and comfortable.
Excellent tour! Totally recomended! Immersive experience through Kosovo

5.00Ilir led us through the eventful history of Kosovo in a very exciting, varied, authentic and understandable way. He also put current events into context and explained them clearly and answered questions. The day flew by. I highly recommend Ilir and this tour, not least because of the one or two funny anecdotes that you probably won't find in any travel guide.
The day with my expert guide was an unforgettable experience which I will treasure.
