The tour to Kosovo was incredible and our guide was fantastic. He had many interesting stories and brought Kosovo to life. I also really enjoyed the traditional lunch he arranged for us on the way back to Macedonia.
Great Kosovo day trip!

Such an informative day trip! Oliver was a knowledgable, friendly fun guide, an open and excited host. We got a very good over-view of Kosovo, from Ottomans to the recent independence, had a solid local meal with recommendations and enjoyed a bear sanctuary (felt like a nice little give-back among it all). Bring about 20 Euros with and you'll enjoy your trip. Lasted about 9 1/2 hours total, but worth it!
A great way to see Kosovo!

What an amazing experience! Dua is an amazing guide with great stories and information. He did a great job of connecting our small group. Kosovo is a beautiful country and this tour is a great way to see that. The bear sanctuary is wonderful to visit. Be minding of the walking in the sanctuary as it’s very hilly. I would highly recommend this tour!
