Prishtina, the capital of the newest country in Europe is blessed with history, culture and traditions. The richness of the city is expressed in its young population and buzzing energy that captivate the attention of visitors upon arriving here. Its mix of old and new architecture, the old bazaar, different museums, mosques and churches, combined with cafes, traditional food and hospitality are some of the main elements that make Prishtina tour an uplifting and memorable experience. While being the center of the busy urban life in Kosovo, Prishtina is a place that radiates a notable relaxed ambience which is reflected in the lifestyle of local population, atmosphere in the streets and peaceful attitude of its community. Included in this day Tour are also visits to Ulpiana archaeological site (of Roman era) and the Gadime marble cave (considered to be millions of years old) which are both nearby Prishtina.

Few months ago my family and I had the pleasure to visit Kosovo. We went to Kosovo before, but this time we decided to visit Gjakova with the help of Svonon Tours. They prepared an amazing itinerary for us and with the help of their guide, who speaks English like a native, we discovered many significant religious, cultural and historical sites in Gjakova. The guide was extremely welcoming and had a great knowledge of the city's ancient and modern past. Svonon is a professional tour company and I recommend it to anyone visiting the country. We cannot wait to return.

This Tour in Valbona Valley National Park offers a unique experience of nature and mountain lovers. The Albanian alps extended on both the sides, the crystal clear river cutting through the valley, the green surroundings, the quietness and traditional food, make this one day Tour unforgettable experience. This area where we visit, has been isolated for more than 40 years during the communism period in Albania, and along the way you're still able to see the traces of that period, bunkers, old buildings and also hear the storytelling and history of the region. Valbona Valley has recently become one of the most favourite places to be visited in North Albania by tourists, because of its uniqueness and yet unexplored place.

8. Visit Albania and Kosovo

Albania Express Travel

It’s hard to find a patch of Europe that hasn’t been overrun by travel. Hard, but not impossible. Among the rocky mountains and green fields of Albania and Kosovo there are plenty of shepherds, monasteries, lakes, valleys and Byzantine churches – what’s lacking is crowds. It’s taken decades for the Balkans to wipe away memories of conflict and communism, but (amazingly) they’ve emerged strong and smiling.

I can't thank our tour guide Adam enough for giving us a fun filled day from start to finish. If you are lucky enough to get him as your tour guide you will agree with me that he is one interesting man on this planet! He went above and beyond, even making additional pit stops. He showed us so much in one day that would of easily taken us two to three days to do. The tour exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to do future day trips in other countries/cities with Albanian Express Travel and Adam!

I love a good walking tour! It's the first thing I like to do when arriving to town since it gets you oriented to the major history and then gives you ideas of stuff to see.. We packed so much into the tour. The Square, government buildings, sculpture, orthodox church and mosque - wow so cool, and lots of other little things we eyed up to go back and enjoy.. Rate this one an "A"!
