Review of: Kosovo Day trip from Skopje
This was my first trip to Macedonia and Kosovo, and I couldn't have hoped for a better company to handle all of my travel needs while over there! Since these are unusual Covid19 times, and things change on a daily basis with visas and such, Daniel kept me informed every day with updates directly from the Balkan countries. He was extremely professional, and super fast at responding via Whatsapp. Once we reached Skopje, Daniel, Alexander, and Kristina met us at our hotel. We chatted for a bit, and then they took us around Skopje for an amazing little city tour and a nice dinner. That team truly cares for each customer they have, and will customize any trips you might have in mind. They have been in the business a long time, and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. We then took a one day trip from Skopje to Prishtina, and this was definitely the highlight of our time there. Our guide Pete (Petrit) was an absolute legend! This guy was so personable, professional, and passionate about his beautiful country that is Kosovo! We were entertained and educated on the lifestyle of these amazing people, their culture, and the outstanding food they have. Do not let people steer you away from visiting this unique and gorgeous country. But all of this wouldn't have been possible wouldn't have been for this amazing team! Two thumbs way up to Daniel, Alexander, Kristina, and Petrit, for welcoming us with open arms, and treating us like family. I wouldn't travel with any other company on my visit to the Balkan countries!…

Review of: Pogradec, Korcha & Pustec tour from Ohrid
We were very happy to visit some towns and villages in Albania because Ohrid is so close to the Albanian border. Maria, from the agency office, booked our excellent guide and driver Daniel, with her information, helped us very much in our decision about what to visit in Albania in one day and not too far from our hotel. We picked up two towns and a few villages in the very rural region of Pustec. Our guide Daniel knew some people in this area and it was great to have him and to understand better the culture and tradition of this region. It was interesting to see that about 80 percent of the vehicles in the area were Mercedes, some very old ones, but some brand new ones. The region of Pustec was a real revelation. It is one of the most rural areas in Europe. There were donkeys and cows everywhere around the fields. I so much liked this trip.…

We had not much time in Skopje, but anyway we decided to visit the Matka Canyon. Our guide Spasija was friendly and she spoke excellent English, so we had easy communication. The view from the top of mountain Vodno to Skopje was spectacular. Matka Canyon was simply beautiful. The local boatman Agron who took us to the cave Vrelo was making jokes all the way to the cave and back. We were glad we booked this trip.…

I am interested in the ancient Macedonian civilization and while I was in Skopje, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to book a trip to Greece. And it was really something. The tomb of Phillip the Second of Macedon is definitely one of the world wonders. It was spectacular. The next we visited was Pella, the birthplace of Alexander the Great. The museum and the archaeological site were equally amazing. Toni the driver, and Peter the guide were an excellent team. We recommend…

We booked this when we were in Ohrid. We wanted to visit Pella, the ancient Macedonian capital. It is approximately a 4 hours drive. And it was amazing. The museum in Pella had a great number of artifacts from the Ancient Macedonian kingdom and empire. Just an hour away is the Vergina tomb, where Phillip, Alexander’s father, was buried. His underground tomb is indescribable, full of golden, silver, copper objects, potteries, personal belongings. You must visit these places once in your life. Thanks to Naum, our driver, and guide.…
