Best for: Travelers who want a slower itinerary with overnight stays and broader Kosovo coverage
This is the longest option and is structured as a multi-day tour rather than a single sightseeing outing. The included list shows hotel accommodation with dinner and breakfast for overnight stays, tourist taxes, all fees and taxes, air-conditioned vehicle use, and admissions that include the Orthodox Patriarchate of Peja, an Orthodox monastery in Graçanica, another Orthodox monastery, and Bear Sanctuary.

It suits travelers who prefer a broader, less rushed program with more of the trip arranged in advance. Lunches, drinks, snacks, souvenirs, and other unmentioned items are excluded.
