Kevin Is such a wonderful guide. Super smart and knows his country very well. He is definitely one of the best guides in all my travels. He coordinated the trip and was gracious and accommodating.

Excellent tour, well worth the money. Kevin was a knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly guide throughout. It was great to get to know him and share various travel tips and suggestions too. Booking a private tour gives you some flexibility on schedule, and asking questions of interest, so I would recommend this to other travellers. I was picked up (and returned) on time and the tour was completed as scheduled in around 11 hours, with plenty of time allotted for lunch, exploring and comfort breaks. The schedule didn't feel rushed at all and it is a scenic drive between Tirana and the Kosovan border. Kosovo was one of two remaining countries in my Europe wide tour and the excursion gave me a good feel for the culture and the diverse architectures in both main stops. Highlights of the tour for me included seeing the top of Prizren skyline from the castle fortification, after a steep walk, and also seeing the inside of the Mother Teresa Cathedral in Pristina. I was particularly grateful to Kevin for his flexibility in helping me to retrieve a lost bag at the airport on the way home. Many thanks!

I was really looking forward to going into Kosovo today and Kevi didn't disappoint! He picked us up with a comfortable car and he is a cautious and experienced driver - I felt absolutely safe with him navigating the not so easy traffic. Perfect location for our rest stop on the way to Kosovo and central parking spots in both Pristina and Prizren. He was full of information and gave us a lot of historical and cultural background so it was easier to understand what we were seeing. The itinerary was fun, quite unique buildings and two very different cities. Kevi was very accommodating, gave us enough time to explore and discover, very relaxing and informative tour. Thank you, it was really fun getting to know both Albania and Kosovo a lot better!

Lovely cities to visit and great driver/guide. This was a really nice way to see both Prizren and Priztina, and I got lucky to visit them during the Independence day holiday which meant it was very lively. Nice hike up to the castle in Prizren will give you gorgeous views. Highly recommended.
