Orlanda was great!! Awesome information and very caring and helpful guide! Told us honest facts about the area and Albania and gave us recommendations for things to do and see! Perfect driving too was a long day so props to her! Definitely recommend
Great day trip to another country. Excellent guide who gave us a lot of information and was always helpful. Both cities were worth visiting. Plenty of time given in each location as it was just a day trip.
Orlanda was a fantastic guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. It was a long day but we really enjoyed the tour.
This is an incredible tour that packs a lot of history, culture, and sightseeing into one seamless day trip. For a very reasonable price, you can visit the two biggest cities in Kosovo from Albania. Armela was a fantastic guide who answered every question very elegantly regardless of the topic, and explained the sights of Prizren and Pristina in a very understandable way. This is a great trip to take if you have a day to spare in Albania, and want to take a hands on crash course of the youngest country in Europe.
Armela was one of the best tour guides I have ever had! She was thorough, but succinct and made sure to hit the highlights while giving us plenty of free time to check things out in both cities. I really appreciated the pacing and it made the day go by quickly even with a lot of driving involved in the tour (which I find can get monotonous).
Armela was the guide for my trip and she was amazing! She is so knowledgeable of both Albania and Kosovo’s history and she is able to answer any question you throw her way. Great tour!
The tour guidr was fantatic and it was two besutiful places. However the bus was billing smoke out on the way back and they suggested we get back in. It was only because we refused to get back on that they called for a replacement. I've given 3 stars as the tour is good but really it should be one star due to the incident with the transport.
We really enjoyed our day trip - Armela, our guide, was very knowledgeable and charismatic. She handled the group really well, and always made time to answer questions. The bus was full but not crowded, and had good AC throughout. We stayed in Pristhina (used this as one way transport, rather than a day trip back to Tirana) which worked really well for us.
This one-day trip to Kosovo from Tirana is a great introduction to the country. You’ll have the opportunity to visit two cities: Prizren and Prishtina. Our guide, Armela, was very professional and helpful. She provided us with interesting insights and useful information about both cities. It’s a very long tour and involves quite a bit of walking, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. The transportation was smooth, and the border crossing/immigration process was quick and hassle-free.
Did a day tour with Ármela and it was the best decision I made. We only had one day, but she made it count. Pristina hitting the Newborn Monument and Imperial Mosque, then over to Prizren. The way she explained things, it never felt rushed even though we covered a lot. Highly recommend. 10/10
