Stefan was an excellent guide with extensive knowledge and experience. He has a pleasant sense of humor, and was fun to get to know.

This tour was a bit disappointing. The driver and guide were very nice, and Sofia (our guide) spoke excellent English. The car was clean and comfortable, and the driver never gave us a reason to be concerned. But beyond that, this felt more like a glorified taxi ride than a tour. There honestly wasn't that much information. When we got to Pristina, her entire tour couldn't have been more than 10 minutes, then we had 60 minutes of "free time". Same in Prizren. If your looking for an informative tour, look elsewhere. If your looking for transportation to Kosovo with a bit of info thrown in, this is for you.

I really enjoyed the tour. The guide was nice and gave me a lot of information about the country and the people. If you compare it with other countries, Kosovo has not so much in the sense of spectacular sights and places to visit. That's the only reason I didn't rate this five stars. For me the most interesting part was getting to know the history and learning how people are living there now. The organisation of the tour was excellent.
