June solo trip - 5 star only because I can't put 6. Valon was fantastic, so chatty and informative. I really feel I know so much more about Kosovo, its history and people now. Sleeping beauty cave is a nice little cave, and the walk up there is short but pretty. Peja is a nice town, the market and mosque are worth seeing and we stopped for delicious kebabs and Turkish tea. It's amazing how friendly the locals are. The gorge and mountains are worth the drive.

Incredible tour, beautiful sights and culture!! - Bekim is an absolutely incredible tour guide, my family was visiting from the U.S. and he shared so much of Kosovo's history and amazing culture with us. This tour is perfect in any weather, even though it was winter the waterfalls and views were beautiful and we wouldn't change a thing. The timing and all of the stops were perfect, the car was very comfortable, and we feel like we saw almost all of Peja and the famous natural landmarks in just one day! Thank you Bekim, highly highly recommend!

Bend it like Bekim - We are from the US and visiting family in Pristina. Bekim was fantastic! He picked us up from the house without issue. It was off season but Fall so it was just us at the waterfall which made it more magical. If you have accessibility issues I do not recommend since there is some hiking and about 100 steps at the waterfall. Definitely no wheelchairs but if you have crutches maybe go during off season so you can take your time going up and down the stairs. I also don’t recommend if you’re afraid of heights. We were originally going to take a toddler but decided not to at the last minute. The guide was prepared for her and she was welcome. If you take a toddler I recommend a hiking backpack or take turns going to the waterfall so that someone can hang back with the kid at the playground which is at the bottom of the waterfall. The bazaar was okay—I made a friend with a street dog. Remember to bring cash for tip. I will definitely recommend this tour group and Bekim to others living in and visiting Pristina.

Natural and Historical - Guide was brilliant and a trip out of the main cities of Kosovo was so nice to do. Traveling solo is sometimes difficult but this was so easy, the natural and historic sites so interesting to see.

Fantastic tour with history and natural beauty - Fantastic private tour to see some sights in Kosovo and fantastic, breathtaking nature. Bekim was a exceptional guide with lots of knowledge and love for Kosovo. We loved learning more about this beautiful country. Both the mosque and the church were beautifully decorated. The waterfall and rugova gorge looked so pretty in autumn colours.I recommend this tour to everyone!
