Two diverse cities, one enlightening experience - Great day with Kevin as our guide. It is a long day, but enjoyable. Kevin brought the Kosovan history to life with his extensive knowledge.
For me I preferred the trip to North Macedonia, if you have to choose between the two.
I did enjoy the day, Kevin was good company and I do recommend the tour, if a little pricy.

A wonderful introduction to the Balkans' smallest country - Not only was this tour incredible but the tour company were also absolutely amazing! Due to a very last minute change in circumstances, I wasn't able to attend my original scheduled tour. The company was understanding, empathetic and assisted in re-arranging for another date without a fuss - spectacular customer service!!
The tour itself covered the key highlights of Prizren and Prishtina and the tour guide provided a lot of interesting information about the smallest country of the Balkans.
Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing Day Trip to Kosovo - We are glad that we had this guided tour with them. Our guide Kevin was excellent, very knowledgeable and giving us space to enjoy Pristina and Prizren. At first we thought we can do the same by renting a car by ourselves, but better to have an experienced driver like him. Highly recommended.

Kosovo Family Trip - My family and I went with Jolaos on this long but fun trip in Kosovo. Jolaos took great care of us during the whole trip.Prishtina was amazing with snow and we enjoyed our meal.The operator warned us about the snow and weather and currency so no surprises during the day.Car was spacious and comfortable.
