I went on a two day tour with Besim and couldn't have asked for a kinder, more passionate guide! I contacted Init via their website and got a quick response where we then discussed what i was hoping to do with my time. I got an excellent tailored yet flexible plan which was fantastic (more info below). Bes is honest and helpful, he will really show you kosovo - it's knockout beauty, it's history, where it currently is struggling and where it's aiming to be. I am coming back as there is so much more to see and i want to go climbing, i know i will be contacting Init Experience again! Kosovo has captured my curiosity! My trip: I got picked up by Bes and then we went to valbona to hike during the day. It was beautiful and Bes expertly spoke about the area and was always conscious of pace and safety (he is also a cracking photographer, so don't worry everything will be captured!). we stayed in a local guest house and experienced homemade, delicious cooking with a big bonfire (all could speak English and were very kind, hope youre hungry!).the second day was poor weather so we drove to Pejë to do the via ferrata. It is good fun with a dash of adrenaline, i was even surprised at the top with a selection of cakes as it was my birthday! we also did a spontaneous swim in a natural spring pool - it was really warm, even in nov! I also got shown around prishtina by Bes the following day and hiked with him around the city in the national park. This is a v brief overview,i could say so much more about my amazing experience! Thank you, ????!

Both countries are magnificent,the capital cities of Skopje and Prishtina are large and getting about on foot can be tiring.Ohrid in Macedonia is a gem however be aware in Macedonia your hotel ,accommodation are required to register you with the police.Make sure you get a copy of this registration as they ask for it at Macedonian border .We were also delayed by officers who were not familiar with foreign passports .I would say the people in Kosovo are friendlier,more helpful and accommodating. In Macedonia cakes to die for.Skopje is a delight with statues,architecture and open parks.

If it were posible to give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. I have just completed a 15 day tour covering Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia, and Kosovo with the tour company Visit Macedonia. This was an unbelievable experience! I am incredibly satisfied with the quality and professionalism of this company - every day was carefully thought out and well planned. My wishes and preferences were always the priority and Stefan (tour coordinator and guide) was flexible and able to change the itinerary in a moments notice if I expressed interest in something. Stefan paid attention to my interests and was able to make helpful suggestions and help me make the most out of my trip. Stefan and his daughter, Sofija, are both very knowledgeable about the region and were able to give me a fantastic introductory education and answer all of my questions. Traveling is not always easy or comfortable, but Stefan and Sofija made my trip as easy and effortless as possible - I felt like I was so taken care of and in such good hands. I had 15 days full of wonderful experiences and great conversation. If I wanted company, I had company. If I wanted solitude and to explore on my own, I had it. Overall, traveling with Stefan and Sofija was like traveling with friends, not like traveling with strangers. I trusted them fully and we had a lot of fun. I would 100% recommend them to literally anyone who wants to visit this part of the world. No other company will offer you this level of attention and care, I can promise that. I felt totally spoiled and have no regrets about my tour with this company.
