Die Tour war insgesamt gut, der Guide war nett und sehr informative, wir haben sehr vielen Fakten während der Tour lernen können. Er fährt auch sicher. Für die kurze Zeit hat man sehr guten und umfassenden Eindruck vom Kosovo und seiner Geschichte bekommen (dank unserem Guide, der es objektiv erzählen konnte). Unsere Highlight war der Besuch in Gracanica Kloster und die Städte waren auch nett.Kosowo było ciekawym krajem.

Kosowo było ciekawym krajem. Dowiedzieliśmy się tak wiele informacji o historii tego młodego kraju i spróbowaliśmy tradycyjnych potraw. Przewodnik zabrał nas do tradycyjnej restauracji w mieście Prizren (nie stolicy). Prizren lubiliśmy z mężem bardziej niż Prishtina - stolicę, ponieważ wyglądała bardziej jak oczekiwaliśmy. Jeśli chcesz wybrać się na tę wycieczkę, polecam udać się do restauracji Beshka w centrum Prizren na tradycyjne jedzenie.Fantastic opportunity to visit Kosovo. Easy going tour with luxury transport accompanied by a pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide. Had a great experience particularly the return journey back to Skopje where the views were stunning. Would thoroughly recommend.
