Nice trip to small Balkan countries
The trip was long; about 12 hours of driving over two days; I enjoyed seeing a little bit of North Macedonia and Kosovo; overnight accommodations were great location and breakfast, room a bit old and frayed/dirty. Our guide was a good driver, friendly and helpful, just medium as a guide. There were too many persons in our van to be a comfortable ride.
Response from the operator: Hi Nancy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your overall experience visiting North Macedonia and Kosovo. We’re sorry to hear that the room condition and the space in the van did not fully meet your expectations. Accommodation options in Skopje can be somewhat limited, and the hotels we use are among the better-rated options within the 3–4 star category (only two hotels in this category are slightly better rated, and we use those as well when available). For our tours, including this one, guests also have the option to book their own hotels at a lower price if they have specific preferences. Regarding the van, the tour is designed for up to 8 travelers in an 8+1 vehicle, which is the standard seating arrangement and is also noted in the tour information. Having fewer guests on the tour will certainly feel more spacious and enjoyable, especially on a longer drive, but smaller groups also significantly increase the cost per person. In order to operate the tour at a reasonable price, we need to have the capacity for up to 8 travelers. For travelers who prefer more space, privacy, and flexibility, we also offer private tours, as well as longer itineraries in either North Macedonia or Kosovo. Thank you again for traveling with us and for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate it and will take your comments into consideration as we continue improving our tours.

a good way to quickly explore both North Macedonia and Kosovo
It was a good way to quickly explore both North Macedonia and Kosovo in 2 days. From Albania to do so makes sense, as lots of history was related to those 2 countries.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring North Macedonia and Kosovo. It was a pleasure having you with us. If you have any suggestions on how we could make the experience even better, we’d love to hear them!

A tour worth taking
This tour is a great way to visit two countries in two days. We travelled from Tirana to North Macedonia on day 1, visiting Orhid on the way. At Night we stayed at Skopje city centre in a hotel arranged by the Agency. The next day we started with the visit of Skopje city, then Matka Canyon in North Macedonia and Prizren on Kosovo. Unfortunately we missed Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. as there was a festival in Pristina and entering into Pristina was difficult. All the places we visited were great. But the highlight was our Driver and Guide Erik. He was very friendly, caring, full of fun.The places Erik suggested for lunch were nice. I will give him ten stars if I can. We were two couples in the tour and with Erik, our five member team had wonderful two days.

2 Day Tour of North Macedonia & Kosovo from Tirana: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tirana.
How much does 2 Day Tour of North Macedonia & Kosovo from Tirana cost?
+
Prices start at $389 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tirana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Day Tour of North Macedonia & Kosovo from Tirana take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tirana is not rushed.
Is 2 Day Tour of North Macedonia & Kosovo from Tirana worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tirana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Tour of North Macedonia & Kosovo from Tirana?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Day Tour of North Macedonia & Kosovo from Tirana suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day Tour of North Macedonia & Kosovo from Tirana?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tirana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tirana and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day Tour of North Macedonia & Kosovo from Tirana start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tirana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tirana?
+
On Outty we rank every Tirana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Tirana/Durres- Hiking Tour to Bovilla Lake & Gamti Mountain, Tirana Walking Tour: History, Culture & Hidden Local Gems, Tirana: Traditional Cooking Class with Unlimited Wine & Raki. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tirana?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tirana?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
