Itinéraire
Après environ 2 heures de route depuis Skopje, nous atteindrons Pristina, la capitale du Kosovo. Ensuite, nous commencerons notre visite à pied de la ville. Au cours de la visite à pied, vous en apprendrez beaucoup sur l'histoire moderne de ce jeune pays et les turbulences autour de sa création. Notre guide fera de son mieux pour présenter l'histoire le plus objectivement possible. Notre premier arrêt sera la Bibliothèque nationale de Pristina, achevée en 1982 lorsque le Kosovo faisait partie de la Yougoslavie. La bibliothèque conserve des livres et documents précieux, dont certains datent du XVe siècle. Un fait intéressant est qu’elle est classée parmi les structures architecturales les plus laides d’Europe. Au cours de notre promenade, nous ferons attention à la statue de Mère Tereza. En raison de son origine albanaise, elle est une personne très appréciée au Kosovo. Vous vous promènerez sur le principal boulevard piéton de la ville et vous profiterez de l'esprit de son centre.
Après encore une heure et demie de route, vous atteindrez la capitale historique du Kosovo-Prizren. La ville est entourée de montagnes et elle est incroyablement belle. Vous y découvrirez l'histoire de l'origine du Kosovo et les idées qui la sous-tendent, soutenues par le plan de la Grande Albanie. Vous verrez et visiterez des monuments de la période de l’Empire Ottoman. Notre premier arrêt lors de la visite à pied de Prizren sera le hammam Mehmet Pasha, construit au XVIe siècle. Le prochain site que nous visiterons est la mosquée Sinan Pacha construite au début du XVIIe siècle. Vous pourrez jeter un œil aux jolies boutiques de souvenirs qui entourent la mosquée. Notre prochain point d'intérêt sera la forteresse située au-dessus de la ville d'où vous découvrirez de magnifiques vues. En route vers la forteresse, nous traverserons le pont de pierre du XVe siècle. Le fort garde la mémoire de cultures et de peuples disparus depuis longtemps. Après l'avoir exploré, nous retournerons à Skopje par des routes très belles et pittoresques.

Well we only went to one town as there was too much traffic to go to the other. Spent about an hour there.Apart from a couple of old churches there was nothing much to see.So for over 4 hours driving it was hardly worth the effort.
First off Boris was a great driver and valuable guide. His knowledge was so vast and took us to all the perfect places for a day trip to learn the most about Kosovo. I would recommend him for any tour to Kosovo.
You have the option to go solo or as a group. I went solo. It gave me more leverage to say determine. How long I want to stay at each location. Prishtina had some great history. I enjoyed Prizren. I had a great time. Boris was a great tour guide. I will specifically ask for him on my next trip to Skopje.
BulTrips the operator did not respond to my WhatsApp message and i had to call them at pickup time as they were late. This cost me money as on the street I did not have free roaming. I was told they were doing another pickup first and then would get to us. We were left standing on the street in the rain. However once the car arrived, Boris, the guide was excellent. Caring, friendly, informative he made the day fun and enjoyable. I would recommend the tour. The management team however have a lot of improving to do.
Our day tour to Kosovo with Boris was excellent. We visited Prishtina first and then Prizren, and he showed us the highlights of each city. He spent as much time as we wanted at each place he took us to, and we never felt rushed. There was plenty of time for a cafe stop in Prishtina and lunch in Pritzren where we tried the local speciality that he recommended and liked it. An added bonus is that he is a former photographer, so we now have some very good pictures. Boris is a professional driver and able to navigate the chaotic city traffic just fine. I would definitely recommend his tour.
Soooo, after paying $336 for 2 of us, this tour company felt it was completely okay to shove us in a VW with another couple for 7 hours of driving - with me in the back middle seat, body to body with another person I never met. Absolutely not. We didn't do the tour, just ridiculous.
First, the car was the latest model VW Passat (not Golf or Polo). You were offered the front seat and a seat in the back next to the window, not the middle. You refused that and then refused to communicate at all, and being historic. I tried to talk to you on the phone to understand the problem and your trew the phone of our guide refused to speak anymore. We could have taken a minibus from a college nearby, but you entered the hotel, refusing to speak to anyone. We recommend that you next time to book a private tour, not a small-group tour, or just communicate with the people who are trying to assist.
This trip was nice although Pristina has not much to see except the national library and Teresa Catherdral, but the capital city is lively. Prinzen is worth to see as it is an old town with beautiful mountain and river. But most of the shops are selling modern things and clothes. The visit is worth to see the mosques and the Turkish area with hamman (closed). The journey takes several hours but the roads are good. Worth to join this tour.
Boris was an awesome tour guide and we had great conversations the whole day! I was the only one to sign up for the tour and it felt like my own private tour. He was very informative and provided great insight at each location. He chose a great restaurant for lunch and was very kind and accommodating! The pita and baklava was amazing. The trip to the top of the Catholic Church gave great views of Pristina. I spent a few hours by the river in Priznen getting great pictures taken by Boris. Thanks for a fab day Boris.
Visited Pristina and Prizren in one day. Really enjoyed seeing this amazing country. Boris is an awesome guide!
Boris is a perfect guide in every respect. He speaks very good English, he is very attentive to the requests made, he knows how to be discreet and available according to the situations. Highly recommended.
