Super tour, very knowledgeable guide, who was accommodating and responsive to our needs. Flexible and give time for photos. Thanks We were lucky enough to be the only two on the tour.
Great tour. Very good balance between free time and guided tour. Great transportation. All main sights covered. Very flexible service. We had to reschedule our tour just a day in advance due to a flight cancellation and are super happy that they could accommodate our requests with such short notice.

This trip is really worth taking, Kosovo and Prishtina are very interesting. Aphrodite was a great tour guide. As it turned out it was just us two with the guide and it was a perfect private tour.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re happy you enjoyed Kosovo and Prishtina and that the private tour experience met your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you again! ✨
Great trip to Pristina! It was a smooth trip, visiting the main atractions. We had free time. Recommended!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had a great experience and look forward to welcoming you back.
I enjoyed my tour with Aphrodite. I received a message beforehand from her, so I felt very comfortable that I will be at the right spot at the right time. She is a wealth of information on the topics of North Macedonia, Kosovo, and former Yugoslavia. I asked a ton of questions because no region in Europe has had as much changes as these countries. I got to see and do all that I wanted. If you make it to Skopje, I believe it is a must to schedule this day trip. I'm not much of a shopper, but trust me when I tell you.... Kosovo has some really good shopping deals...I mean to good to pass up!
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience. Nice to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure to meet you and hope to see you again.
Very good outing to visit Pristina in Kosovo. Aphrodite is very friendly person, we highly recommend
Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez eu une excellente expérience avec notre service.
I had an amazing day touring from Skopje to Pristina, Kosovo! I was lucky to have the tour all to myself, which made the experience feel truly special. Aphrodite was not only an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide, but also a safe and skilled driver. Her passion for Kosovo and attention to detail made the day unforgettable. I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone looking to explore Kosovo
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour. Your support means a lot to our team, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!"
I've hesitated to write this review because I commend anyone who's industrious and entrepreneurial and works hard to make a living. However, I've reflected on my experience and feel it's important to document it in the hope the circumstances that impacted my trip aren't repeated. After booking the trip with Aphrodite through this website, I arrived at the tour to find there was one other customer who had booked his place directly with Aphrodite. He asked me how much I'd paid for my experience and it turns out he'd been charged more than me even though he'd negotiated the deal direct. Long story short, this resulted in this man challenging our guide about the discrepancy while we were all in the car and the resulting sustained argument was uncomfortable to observe (and to have unwittingly played a part in through no fault of my own). I won't go into any more details, but I didn't like what I was exposed to, and I paid a premium fee to ensure this was a great, informative day out. This significant drama heavily impacted that.
Dear John, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am truly sorry to hear that your day was affected by an uncomfortable situation between guide and passenger. While we strive to provide an enjoyable and informative experience for every traveler, I understand that the incident you described would have impacted the atmosphere of the tour. Our tour to Pristina is not a private tour so that's why there was one more passenger on this tour. This passenger booked a tour to Pristina and the Bear sanctuary that's why the price for the other customer was higher. At the end of the tour as you witnessed the customer refuse to pay for the service. That was what the argument was about and as you mentioned you were feeling uncomfortable and it was not your fault, I would like to say that it was beyond my control, and caught me off guard making me feel very uncomfortable as well. I can sympathise with your situation, however to receive one star rating due to the difficulties of another customer rudeness seems unfair. I would like to apologise for my reaction as I understand it was not very professional in the moment. With that being said Balkan Explore would appreciate if you would consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with the seamless, positive experience we are known for.
