The Highlight of My Trip to Kosovo was Svonon Tour's Prishtina Culture & History Sightseeing Tour - Svonon Tour's full-day Prishtina Culture & History Sightseeing Tour made my trip to Kosovo memorable. Kushtrum Dula, my guide, provided a fascinating introduction to the capital of this friendly and brave country. His explanation of Kosovo's recent, as well as ancient, history as we walked through Prishtina was interesting and informative. His guiding me through the Ethnographic Museum was very helpful. At my request, he suggested traditional foods for lunch, which were delicious. The ruins of a Roman City at Ulpiana and the Marble Cave were beautiful. I would not have seen either of them without this tour. As a result of this tour, I want to explore more of Kosovo and share it with my friends. I plan to engage Kushtrum as my guide again when I return.

Excellent tour - Joined this fantastic tour recently. Tour guide is absolutely professional in tour arrangements and it’s more than a sightseeing tour! I visited all landmarks of the lovely city of Pristina while at the same time given insights on the cultural and historical aspects of Kosovo. As a first time visitor, all my questions on this place were thoroughly explained. Best way to explore Pristina and Kosovo. I’d recommend this tour to everyone.
