Tour Overview

Let’s bring to light and uncover Kosovo, Balkan’s youngest recognised country that went through a more turbulent history that one could comprehend. 

Two decades after the war, Kosovo is finally ready to open its door and lay out the red carpet of shockingly unexpected travel experiences to anyone willing to break the prejudices.

We have created 5D4N itinerary that will bring out the centuries old intrigues, pride and prejudices taking place on Balkan’s theater boards, complex political situations on the margins of the different perspectives and, most importantly, we will make sure to take you to some of the most beautiful places with breathtaking sceneries and completely intact nature. Places where even COVID did not put its atom on.

You will meet with locals, explore their country in depth, and try to understand how it feels living in a Truman show of 21st century.
