A must have experience! From Start to Finish! - This tour was the last part of our honeymoon.
Mikael picked us up from our hotel in Albania on time & was kind & professional. We spent the whole day together & made a friend for life! This was definitely an eye opening experience with a lot of culture and history attached to it. Having someone who understood both was an amazing breath of fresh air and extremely insightful! Best way to see Kosovo .. All good vibes!

Highly recommended. A great tour!! - This was a fantastic tour and I would highly recommend it. After spending a week in Albania and doing several different tours, I learned more than I had in all of the other tours combined. Prizen is a beautiful city to visit and does not have the large amount of tourists you see at some of the other sites which allowed me to relax and enjoy myself without feeling crowded. This was supposed to be a semi private tour however I was the only person. I was so glad that it was not canceled. I had other Tours canceled because I didn’t have enough clients.

The perfect experience, no complaints!!! - Berg was an incredibly friendly and organized guide. He reached out as soon as I made the booking and was smoothly coordinating the pickup up until the moment he arrived. I appreciated the complimentary water he offered for the ride. He was informative and conversational, and shared interesting history as well as personal anecdotes and cultural comments that only a local could provide. No one else booked with me so I was able to get a one-on-one personalized experience. He adapted the day around my timing and it never felt slow or rushed, just the perfect pace. I also appreciated how he kept in touch afterwards, offering recommendations even after we parted, for Tirana. It was clear he wanted to provide the best guest experience, and he most certainly did!!!

Great trip - This was a solo trip and allowed me to spend time as I wanted in Prizren. I enjoyed the castle and jaunt around town. Berg was a fantastic host who wants to share his history and culture with others.

If you are in doubt, take this trip - Absolutely amazing. Our guide Florian was friendly, gregarious, calm, and grounded. We enjoyed talking with him. The route to Kosovo was so majestic with stunning panorama and mountain views. We almost didn’t go because we had 12-14 hour daytrips the previous two days. We are so glad that we did it. We feel that it was the highlight of our Balkan countries tour.

Disappointing and poor Viator customer service - The tour was disappointing and needs to be better described. We, as the only 2 people on the tour, were picked up 50 minutes late and the car was dirty inside and outside. The driver said it was a rental car. The tour description stated a “free gift souvenir” but there was no gift. The only bottled water was with lunch as no other water was provided. Lunch was described as grilled chicken & meatball, but it was only 5 small meatballs with chopped lettuce/carrot, with bread, plus a bottle of water, but no chicken. The only way to visit Kalaja Fortress was by a 20 minutes’ strenuous walk up a very steep stone cobble track (no vehicle access) without any handrails, and the stones slippery when wet. The description should make it clear that it is a very steep and uneven walk, slippery in the wet as some people may find this far too strenuous. We made a complaint, but this was very quickly dismissed without explanation, poor Viator customer service.
