    · May 29th, 2025
    Excellent. Maximum use of time - 12 to 14 hour days -- for each of the 3 expensive days was ideal for me. Tour guide / driver was courteous to clients and 3rd parties. Cleverly accommodated the three mobile, younger clients and the 2 slower, older clients during walking tours. Very knowledgeable guide -- took us on a better walking tour of Orchid than a previous tour that I took with another tour company a week earlier.

    Engjell, my guide, was great! He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited in prizren and pristina and gave very interesting insights and thoughts about what happened historically in the region! He even gave me some tips for future trips that I was planning in the Balkans. 11/10 6/5 ⭐️
