Worth every penny!
Boris was great! And so was Lena in Skopje and both of the drivers Ivan and Cyril. The hotel in Pristina was also very good.

Description
During this intensitive 2 days tour from Sofia, we will explore the heritage and culture of two countries in the Western Balkans – North Macedonia and Kosovo. You will learn about the rich and fascinating ancient history of these lands and understand a bit better the complexity of the politics and the search for identity in the modern age. In North Macedonia, we will visit the capital of the country – Skopje. This city is one of the most bizarre cities on the Balkan Peninsula - a mixture of authentic monuments from the Ottoman period, and new neo-classical buildings. In Kosovo – Europe’s newest country, we will explore two of the most popular cities- Pristina (the capital of Kosovo) and Prizren. Please prepare for long distances and a lot of new impressions.

Hotel could have been nicer. Tours were "okay". Pristina could have been skipped. Drivers were good especially the one who had to drive in the downpour and avoid deep water.
Operator response
Dear traveler, Missing a country's capital won't make your understanding of it complete. The hotel you have been to is a very nice 3-star hotel, clean and comfortable. I don't know how you know that something might have been better in a place you know nothing about, but if you mean more stars at the title of the hotel, it will mean a much higher price for the product. In our opinion, the idea of the tour is not to stay a lot in the hotel. And as it is clean, comfortable, with a good breakfast, in the historical heart of Prizren, it makes it the best choice in this town. Thank you for your feedback.

Must visit these two places. Boris, our tour guide was amazing.
Amazing tour. Lots to see and experience. Our guide, Boris was so friendly and accommodating. Five star to him. Being vegetarian was a problem. But still managed. It's a must to see places. We wish we had more time in Kosovo.

Our guide Boris and Lena...
Our guide Boris and Lena were excellent guides. They made our trip to Kosovo and Skopje very enjoyable. I give them 5 stars.

Weekend Trip Macedonia and Kosovo
Amazing. The first driver was extremely knowledgeable. All the guides and drivers were super nice, considerate and professional. I wish I could have spent more time in each place.

Fantastic Time
For anyone interested in getting a better understanding of South Balkan’s history, culture and politics, I’d highly recommend it. Tour guides and drivers were excellent. To be honest, it would have been even better as a 3 day/2 night excursion since a good portion of the 2d day was driving back from Prizren, Kosovo.

Was a great experience, we were picked up from our accommodation in Sofia and given clear instructions for how the day would work. We arrived in North Macedonia to a two hour walking tour to see all of the city. This was in forty degree heat so make sure you have plenty of water, hats and sunscreen. After we had lunch and went to Kosovo for dinner and a good nights rest. You had plenty of time in the morning to explore before heading back to North Macedonia where were picked back up and dropped into Sofia once again. All the guides were amazing and made us feel so welcome.

See much in short time
If you’re looking for getting a glimpse of the Balkan spirit in just 36 hours then this is a perfect tour! We learned a lot from our four experienced, knowledgeable and super friendly guides that had so much patience with all our questions. Yes it’s a couple of hours in the car but it did not feel so long. In Skopje the guided tour showed both the modern and older part of the city and the crazy many statues and then plenty of time to discover by ourselves. We then saw two sides of Kosovo with lively night life outside in Prizren, and a beautiful mountain sunset and then the city life in Pristina. The modern church and not so modern library next to each other was so interesting. We would love to see even more next time. Why not extend it to three days with more time or even include a trip to Montenegro or Albania?

Very good tour, my guide from Macedonia and Kosovo is a super nice person, willing and with a lot of knowledge of Zona. Always with the intention that I would be okay and not missing anything.
