Review of a two-day private tour from Tirana to Ohrid, Skopje, Pristina, and Prizren, with transport, hotel, breakfast, guides, and site tickets.
“This was a fabulous trip to North Macedonia and Kosovo. We went to Ohrid and Skopje in Macedonia, staying overnight in the latter. Had another walk round Skopje in the morning, then on to Prizren and finally Pristina. My birthday was the second day and I spent it in three countries; breakfast in Macedonia, Lunch in Kosovo and dinner in Albania. Xhulio was an excellent guide and driver. It is a lot of mileage, but you get to see good scenery and it is the cost of a whistle stop tour. Of the four cities, I liked Skopje best, but all had their plus points.”
