Speechless - I’ve been there two times with my family and friends like 2 years ago. I’ve had a great time , because the view is speechless. It was really hot when I went there so walking to the castle was really tiring and exhausting, but it was worth it because the of the view . It’s worth visiting it.

Flori Rocks! - Wow! Can’t speak highly enough about this tour from Tirana. Flori was an incredible guide and helped me see and explore so much in just one day. He went above and beyond to show me the best sights and I’m so grateful for his knowledge and kindness.

Amazing 1 day country tour - Great tour with Flori, really well organised, picked up on time. Prizren was a beautiful city and the view from the castle was amazing (there's cold drinks for sale when you reach the top which is needed when it's 30*).

a day in historic Prizren - The guide / driver Gerti was extremely knowledgeable and was able to walk around and explain everything very well - it was a rainy day, but we did the best

Pretty Prizen - Good tour and beautiful location. Not too far from Tirana. Beautiful drive with mountains and rivers. The tour guide was absolutely wonderful, friendly, good command of English and open to recommendations and picture taking. He recommended an excellent restaurant. My only complaint with this tour was the listing of visit to castle in the itinerary but did not detail that transportation is not provided. Other than that, the tour was really good.

Very disappointing. Guide had no knowledge - Very disappointing. Guide did not have much knowledge of attractions or the local area. He was basically a driver. We asked about a castle we visited. He told us it was ‘old’. Also, many of the attractions we were promised as part of the tour were closed! Would have been cheaper to just get a taxi and do our own research on Wikipedia.
