A memorable day out ♥️
Karen_G, Sep 2025
East was a wonderful guide. Highly recommend him. We started the trip in pretty Peja, then we discovered Rugova, which is magnificent. Next week discovered the Sleeping beauty cave. East was a wonderful guide, we had a great time with him, he is knowledgeable and knows and loves showing people his country. Flm East.

Diego_C, Jul 2025
The tour was awesome, I visited beautiful places. I had a great time with Visar, he’s a great guide. He gave a detailed explanation of everything. It was amazing! Highly recommend it!
Great day with a great tour leader.

Visar met us at the station. He was so well groomed and had a lovely fragrance too. He took us around town, stopped for a coffee, visited a museum then took us to the bazaar. What a selection of lovely items from clothing, tabacco, household items, carpets, gold and silver to mention a few. We then visited the monastery, beautiful surroundings. Headed to Rugova canyon and he walked us down to the canyon. Then headed towards Radac cave. During the walk to the cave you also stop near the White Drin waterfall. Visar took photos not only when we asked but he also offered. He then dropped us back to the station to get our bus back to Prisna. Visar is truly an asset to the company.
A great way to spend a day in Peja
Rebecca_G, Oct 2024
Private guide who spent much time sharing the history of Kosovo and Peja in particular as we walked through the city and during the drive through the mountains in his car. The views of the mountains and the waterfall were great, as were the painted walls of the monastery in the Patriachate of Pec, but what was more memorable was the chance to learn about life in this special place over a few hours. Am thankful to have come and taken this tour with Visar.
Amazing tour.

"Visar" our guide was very kind and knowledgeable.🫶 The tour was fantastic, we loved it so much We recommend it. 😊
Lovely area, problematic for black/brown travelers
Dana_C, Sep 2024
Market not open on Sunday, so didn't get that in our tour. Perhaps some cultural differences but guide was brusque to me and completely ignored my lovely, curious, kind friend due to race.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Dear Dana, I'm sorry that your friend felt oppressed by the guides' stories, our tours are open to all people from all over the world regardless of race, gender or religion! We have tens of tourists every day (white, brown/black), from every part of the world, of every race, religion or gender, and for cultural tours we offer the best and most informed guide from all over Kosovo, the reasons that Maybe your friend felt left behind, it could be because he didn't understand the English language well, since in this tour we offer it in English-there is no other reason! (otherwise, our guide says that you thanked him a lot, you liked the tour a lot, and the tour lasted 1 hour longer than planned, he also helped you catch the bus and stopped the driver for 10 minutes waiting for you) Thank you
Amazing!

Great trip and wonderful knowledgeable guide . It was so worth it! Absolutely loved every minute of it!
I had a wonderful day
Loucine_M, Sep 2024
As a solo traveller it's not always easy to find good private tours, but this one I can highly recommend! Thank you to my guide Visar who took the time to show me around. He shares a lot of anecdotes about the history and culture of Kosovo in a perfect English. His knowledge about the region is immense. I had a really good time. We visited the Bazar of Peja and its cheese market, the Rugova Canyon, the white drin waterfalls, the Radacit Caves and the monastry patriarcat of Pec, a good mix of culture and nature. Unfortunately the ethnological museum and the Rugova Bridge were closed, but I didn't mind as there were so many other amazing things to discover! Top Balkan Tours also offers Hiking Tours.
A lovely informative trip

Visar was very knowledgeable and provided interesting information and answered our questions. The places we visited were lovely and it was great he had a car to drive us around. Thank you!
Memories of a beautiful day
Danah_A, May 2024
Although our tour took place at the 1st of May, where most of the bazar shops and museums were closed, our guide has made it up with all the stories about the history of Kosovo, the tradition of people, and we had extra time among the beautiful nature :) The canyon, caves, rivers and waterfalls were all breathtaking , the long walks, multiple stops for photography and snacks, even the joy of cold ice cream up there will remain as beautiful memories of this day.
Insightful

Natallia_K, Apr 2023
Paintings in the monastery was the highlight of the day for us. Walk to the cave is amazing even on a grey day.
Beautiful waterfalls and friendly guide
Liberty_H, Apr 2023
Calm and friendly tour guide, who answered all of our questions. It was an easy way to see a lot of Peja in a day. The waterfalls were beautiful but unfortunately the cave and bridge were closed on the day of our visit.
Great experience

The sleeping beauty cave Was beautiful. We highly recommend any travellers to Peja to go on this trip, as most destinations in this tour are not accessible by foot and can only be reached by car.
Es war eine super...
Marianne_W, Jul 2024
Es war eine super spannende Tour, Visar hat uns die kosovarische Kultur nähergebracht und unsere vielen Fragen beantwortet. Vielen Dank...
Kosovan beauty...
Ian_M, Apr 2024
Cefais daith hanner diwrnod ardderchog o amgylch Peja a'r cyffiniau. Roedd yn rhaid i mi wneud taith o'r brifddinas Pristina ar drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus i fynychu'r daith ond cefais gyfarfod gan fy nheithiwr a'm gyrrwr. Roedd harddwch naturiol y ceunant, y rhaeadrau a'r ogofâu yn odidog. Rhoddodd fy nhywysydd adroddiad manwl i mi o hanes Kosovo hyd at heddiw. Roedd hon yn daith hyfryd ac yn gyfle i weld cefn gwlad hardd Kosovan. 🇽🇰 ❤️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
