Hello! I'm Bekim an independent professional guide, based in Prishtina, Kosovo. I am 41 years old, a graduate of Anthropology, with over 15 years of experience as a professional guide and cultural anthropologist. Because I love working with people, and I love my beautiful country, my job - which I do with passion - gives me a great pleasure every day. My job involves introducing individuals, small or large groups to Kosovo and its rich cultural heritage, intangible heritage, history, customs and traditions, rituals, traditional food, great landscapes and beautiful nature of Kosovo. My job is to make your travel experience a fun, educational and inspirational one. And, my photography skills can contribute to making your travel experience a more memorable one through your pictures and videos. Experience Kosovo through the eyes of the local tour guide! Why me as your guide? My education in combination with my experiance with guides, my love for people and this country, my knowledge Kosovo's social, cultural, political, and economic situation, make me I believe an interesting and enjoyable professional guide. Over the past 15 years, I have worked with private individuals, small or large organized groups, travel agencies, state level delegations, Embassies, international organizations, schools etc. in delivering professional guide tours throughout Kosovo and the region(reviews reflect some of their impressions). In addition, many research and study trips that I conducted on Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology in different countries such as: Greece, Austria, Finland, England, USA, Poland, Sweden, France, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Germany, has helped broaden my understanding of anthropology and culture of other nations and countries, which I consider is an asset for me.

Bekim was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with.
My wife and I had a wonderful 3 day tour of Kosovo with Bekim. Excellent safe driver with comfortable well maintained vehicle. Great communication and punctual. We enjoyed his descriptions of the sites we visited and discussing ancient history and the last 20 years of Kosovo history from his personal experiences and his educational background. Put together a great itinerary from picking us up in Skopje to Prizren, Peja and Pristina and key sites in between. Knew proper timing to avoid the bus crowds at many sites. We spent hours during the driving discussing all sorts of topics . Great positive attitude about life in general and the future of his country. Highly recommended.
I had a great and enjoyable tour with Bekim, who is a friendly, easy-going and very knowledgable guide, giving you all the insights into Kosovo, its history, culture and people. Very flexible and accomodating individual requests for what to do and see on your tour.
This is the second tour I have done with Bekim in a few days. Bekim adjusted the tour to my schedule and dropped me off perfectly on time at the airport in the evening. Driving through the Kosovo countryside with Bekim is very pleasant: he is a good and calm driver. Moreover, he seems to know someone in almost every village of Kosovo, which of course has a positive effect on the tour experience. Bekim also thinks of little things, like having umbrellas ready in the car or candy for the ride.
I don't even know where to begin: from the moment I met Bekim I knew I would have an awesome experience. In the almost 8H that we spent together, there was no moment of silence, we discussed about everything possible and imaginable. Bekim not only showed me the places but also explained the history behind, sharing personal experiences. A must do tour, with one of the most gentle, kind and open minded guy I ever met. Thanks again for everything and we will see us soon again!
Bekim is great! As tour guide he provided to me just the right balance of facts, personal opinions, and Kosovo trivia to me. The tour was well-paced and time well-budgeted across different sites. His car is clean and his driving is professional and safe. Highly recommend!
