Kosovo Day Trip: Pristina and Prizren Tour from Skopje

Enjoyed my day trip to Kosovo. It is a very pretty little country and worth a visit if you are in the area. I went primarily to view the frescoes at Gracanica monastery having read descriptions of them in Rebecca West's classic travelogue 'Black Lamb and Grey Falcon', and the frescoes were gorgeous. The highlight was Prizren, a charming town that would be worthy of an extended stay, if you have time. My guide did a great job as did the driver. Would recommend the journey.

We had an excellent guide and it was a great opportunity to see a bit of a country I knew little about.

This is a great way to get a small taste of Kosovo if you only have one day. I think it is well paced. My guide was great and the driver was good.

I had a great time with a really friendly and incredibly knowledgeable local guide and a kind and fun driver. Truly worth it.

The day trip to Kosovo was really worth it. The driver picked us up from our hotel in the morning and had prepared us some water, snacks and other supplements to the car. He also told us a lot of Skopje along the driving. In Kosovo we met the local guide who was really amazing. He showed the best parts of his country and was really friendly and hospitable. We higly recommend to take this trip if you are staying in Skopje for more than two days!

It was very interesting to see those places and hear about the history . I understand a little bit more about the Balkan’s past

Everything was great. The friendly driver was there exactly on time at our hotel at 9am, and we were there in less than 1.5 hours to Pristina. Our tour guide met us there, who was incredibly knowledgeable, and a lovely guy. The city very much exceeded my expectations. The driver was then waiting for us to take us (along with the guide) to a quick stop at a beautiful monastery in a nearby Serbian village, then on to Prizren. Prizren was absolutely stunning, and again we had a very interesting guided tour of the city. It was very relaxed and to our own schedule, so whenever we wanted to stop for lunch/coffee/a drink, it wasn't a problem. All in all an absolutely brilliant day; I couldn't recommend it enough.

Amazing tour to Kosovo! I highly recommend. Great country, awesome people, very safe and chill. Had a pleasent time there. Our driver Miki took us from our hotel in Skopje. Miki is a great guy, speaks very good english and has a lot of interesting stories about Macedonia and Kosovo and the Balkans, so the trip to Prishtina (around one hour) was a pleasent ride. Thanks for that, Miki! The border crossing was smooth, around 2-3 minutes. Passports and covid vaccination certificates and that's all. In Prishtina we met our local guide, Recep. He's a very nice and good guy. He's english is fluent. He knows a lot of history about Kosovo and the Balkans as well. I highly recommend to go to this tour and aks for Recep. You have a lot to learn from him. Prishtina is a really nice city, very clean, with a lot of history. But Prizren, is simply wow. Gastronomical capital of Kosovo. It reminds me of bosnian city Mostar. You can easily spend hours in Prizren, wandering on the streets. A lot of restaurants and bars with people chilling and socializing. A lots of beautiful mosques, old buildings and bridges. It's a must see city. Made this trip in March, so I recommend to dress well, because it's windy and a bit cold in the mornings, being a country between mountains. Thanks Recep, thanks Miki, it was a pleasure taking this tour with you.

We had great experience on this day trip. Tour is very well-organized which covers both Pristina and Prizren. We were able to enjoy both cities with pleasure experience. Tour is easily accessible for those who travelling with a baby pram. Our driver (Mirsad) is simply the best . He went extra miles from regular driving duties. He was flexible on when and where to pick up and drop off so that we could enjoy the trip without any rush. He gave great recommendations for Macedonian food and helped us take care of our toddler during the trip. Highly recommend to book Mirsad for your trip :-). Our tour guide (Suad) in Kosovo was knowledgeable, humble with great story telling style. Prizren is truly a hidden gem and a must-visit city in any travel to Balkans.

Great experience! And excellent driver (Mickey) and guide (Benny). Learned a lot about Kosovo in one day.
