Take a day off from Skopje and explore Kosovo, only 30 minutes from Skopje city center, on this guided full-day tour. You will have a chance to visit the Kosovo capital Pristina, the picturesque town of Prizren, and the unique Orthodox church at Grachanica village.
One of the sites you will visit in Kosovo, often called "the youngest European country", is the Grachanica monastery built by the Serbian king Stefan Milutin in 1321 on the ruins of a 6th-century basilica. The monastery was declared a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990 and in 2006 it was placed on UNESCO's World Heritage List under the name of Medieval Monuments in Kosovo.
Also visit Pristina, the capital and largest city of Kosovo, which is also the administrative center of the country. After the panoramic drive around the city center, you will have some free time to explore on your own or simply to have a coffee break.
Finally, afternoon visit to the picturesque town of Prizren and visit its old bazaar, with a possibility to visit Sinan Pasha mosque. For those who like light hikes, there is the possibility to climb to the Prizren fortress and enjoy the scenic views of the valley.
After the lunch break, drive on the scenic road across Shara NP towards Macedonian border.
It was a great way to see and learn about the Tuscany and area. We received great tips for when we ventured out on our own. These were very helpful. The activities were timely but yet gave us the opportunity to be on mood own.
I really enjoyed all of the wonderful places we saw in such a little amount of time. Our tour guide Manuel was also fantastic and incredibly accommodating.
Great Trip, well thought out and planned, very professional guide and driver. We saw a lot during our trip which included historic and cultural attractions. I would highly recommend for history buffs or anyone looking for a good overview of the UK and Ireland.
The itinerary was outstanding. Every destination we visited was full of charm and rich history, each offering something unique to discover. The food was terrific, and the people were warm and welcoming. I would gladly return to each of those places again.
Traveling from eternal Rome and up through the hazy hills of Tuscany, you’ll spend eleven days sampling the best of Assisi, Siena, Florence, Bologna, Venice, the Tuscan wine region, and Capri! Catch the spirit of la vita bella as you explore elegant Florentine piazzas, rummage through handcrafted artisanal treasures, sip world-class wines, and float down intimate Venetian canals. You will then discover the treasures along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, to sun-bleached Capri before returning to Rome!
The Spain tour we were was very good. The hotels were fine as were the breakfast meals. The guides were excellent at each stop as well as our guide and driver for the entire tour.
From Prague to Vienna and on to Paris, this immersive tour of Europe takes in the mansions of Amsterdam, the Roman Empire relics of Rome and the breathtaking scenery of the Alps. Arrive at your Venice hotel by private boat, ahead of an exclusive dining experience at La Fenice restaurant, and sunset cocktails at Cafe Florian. In the Golden City of Prague, take your pick of Insight Choice experiences, touring the courtyard of a 1,000-year-old Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral, or joining a Local Expert on an exploration of the city’s historic Jewish Quarter, with a stop at a local bakery to sample Trdelník—a traditional Czech pastry. Journey onwards through the countryside forests of Bohemia to Hungary for a scenic Budapest dinner cruise, gliding past the city’s UNESCO World Heritage sites in style.
Art lovers like me, this one’s for you. Portugal dazzled with art and faith. Two features jumped out immediately: Lisbon’s Monastery of Jeronimos, a Manueline masterpiece and Fatima, a place of deep meaning. Wandering Nazare’s windy cliffs and watching Atlantic surf pound felt elemental.
Obidos’ castle and ramparts invited daydreams of knights and medieval poets. The Gothic arches of Batalha took my breath away. Porto's tile-covered churches and artistic heritage felt soulful as we sampled local port wines beside the Douro River.
The highlight was Coimbra, Europe’s amazing academic city, steeped in history and tradition. The old university chapel’s 18th-century Portuguese Baroque design left me speechless.
Guides were enthusiastic and informative. If you love art, faith, and ocean air, this tour is a rich tapestry not to be missed.
Marvel at Gaudi’s masterpieces in Barcelona, spot locals sipping pastis in Nice and admire Florence the home of Michelangelo and the Renaissance, as you circle the azure waters of the Mediterranean. Embrace the city of Pisa with a stop at the famous leaning tower, where Italian astronomer Galileo was said to have pioneered his theories of gravity. In France, work up an appetite in the medieval streets. In Spain, dine with the locals in Basque tradition with an evening of San Sebastian pintxos tastings, snack-sized tapas, while sipping on a refreshing glass of local Txakoli wine. In Rome, taste the seasonal flavours and of course, handmade pasta.
