I went on a two day tour with Besim and couldn't have asked for a kinder, more passionate guide! I contacted Init via their website and got a quick response where we then discussed what i was hoping to do with my time. I got an excellent tailored yet flexible plan which was fantastic (more info below). Bes is honest and helpful, he will really show you kosovo - it's knockout beauty, it's history, where it currently is struggling and where it's aiming to be. I am coming back as there is so much more to see and i want to go climbing, i know i will be contacting Init Experience again! Kosovo has captured my curiosity! My trip: I got picked up by Bes and then we went to valbona to hike during the day. It was beautiful and Bes expertly spoke about the area and was always conscious of pace and safety (he is also a cracking photographer, so don't worry everything will be captured!). we stayed in a local guest house and experienced homemade, delicious cooking with a big bonfire (all could speak English and were very kind, hope youre hungry!).the second day was poor weather so we drove to Pejë to do the via ferrata. It is good fun with a dash of adrenaline, i was even surprised at the top with a selection of cakes as it was my birthday! we also did a spontaneous swim in a natural spring pool - it was really warm, even in nov! I also got shown around prishtina by Bes the following day and hiked with him around the city in the national park. This is a v brief overview,i could say so much more about my amazing experience! Thank you, ????!

Prizren, in Kosovo, is a charming city of mosques and monasteries dating back to the 14th century. Happily spared (mostly) from both the "destroy the old, build the new" drive of the communists during the early years of their rule in Yugoslavia, as well as the ethnic and religious atrocities that plagued the Western Balkans in the last decade of the 20th century, Prizren has the best-preserved old town in the country so far, and is often referred to as the cultural capital of Kosovo.

Both countries are magnificent,the capital cities of Skopje and Prishtina are large and getting about on foot can be tiring.Ohrid in Macedonia is a gem however be aware in Macedonia your hotel ,accommodation are required to register you with the police.Make sure you get a copy of this registration as they ask for it at Macedonian border .We were also delayed by officers who were not familiar with foreign passports .I would say the people in Kosovo are friendlier,more helpful and accommodating. In Macedonia cakes to die for.Skopje is a delight with statues,architecture and open parks.

Prizren, Peja and Gjakovo are definitly must while you are in Kosovo. Three cities that better describe history and culture of Kosovo. We had an amazing time in those three days. Totally recommended.
