This excursion surpassed my expectations. We started our trip punctually and our guide Dua made sure we'll get the best out from our day. We enjoyed absolutely everything from Prishtina to the monastery and later to the bear sanctuary. Dua suggested an amazing restaurant in Kosovo and the whole group enjoyed a delicious lunch with very reasonable prices I Highly recommend this tour and thanks again Dua!
