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.

We had a really nice time with Bekim today. The sites were interesting, and we enjoyed seeing them with someone who clearly is very interested in the history and sharing it with visitors. But we also really enjoyed hearing his stories about life in Kosovo, and having him answer our questions. Bekim is very friendly, funny, speaks fluent English, and is eager to share his country with visitors. If you're thinking of hiring him, you should definitely do it. You'll be glad you did!

I took the Peja tour with Mr. Bekim Xhemili on June 9, 2023. Besides his deep knowledge of the history of Kosovo and anthropology ,he has let all the explanations quite easy and understandable. We faced rain during the visit to a waterfalls and springs and he managed to Visit the Sleepy Beauty cave, which might be closed for visitors in those conditions.I highly recommend Bekim as a local guide in the beautiful country of Kosovo.
